Product Description
The MITUTOYO 572-570 is a vertical electronic linear scale designed for precise positional measurement in machine tool and fixturing applications. It covers a measurement range of 0 to 4 inches with an accuracy of 0.001 inches and a resolution of 0.0005 inches (0.01 mm). The scale transmits data via a built-in data output interface, making it compatible with digital readout systems and data collection setups. An LCD display provides clear, direct readings at the point of use. The unit ships with one SR44 battery installed and ready for immediate deployment. Machinists, tool and die technicians, and metrology professionals are the primary installers of this scale.
The 572-570 is suited for vertical mounting on jigs, small machine tools, and general tooling setups where repeatable linear position measurement is required. The scale length measures 220 mm, with an LCD display measuring 72.70 mm in length and 36.00 mm in width. Battery-powered operation eliminates the need for external power routing at the installation point, simplifying integration into tight machine enclosures or custom fixture assemblies. Applications include position feedback on manual mills, drill press tables, and precision fixturing rigs.
Key Features

- Data output capability for connection to DRO units or data logging systems
- LCD display for direct on-scale readout
- Battery-powered operation using one SR44 cell, included in package
- Vertical orientation designed for jig and small machine tool mounting
Compatibility
Designed for use on jigs, small machine tools, and general tooling fixtures requiring vertical linear position measurement with data output capability.
Installation Notes
Installation is typically performed by machinists or metrology technicians familiar with linear scale mounting requirements. Power down or de-energize any machine tool before mounting the scale to avoid movement during fixturing. Mounting surfaces should be clean, flat, and free of burrs to ensure accurate scale alignment along the measurement axis. Follow the equipment manufacturer guidelines for read-head clearance and cable routing to protect the data output connection.
