Mitutoyo Setting Ring 5in Size 1.5in Width 0.00008in Accuracy

Description

Product Overview

The Mitutoyo 177-299 Setting Ring is engineered for the most demanding dimensional calibration tasks. Constructed from hardened stainless steel, the ring provides a rigid, wear‑resistant surface that maintains its geometry even after thousands of insertions. With a 5‑inch (127 mm) outer diameter and a 1.5‑inch (38 mm) width, the ring offers a generous contact area for setting tools, gauge blocks, and precision fixtures. The tolerance of ±0.00008 inch (±2 µm) ensures that every measurement is repeatable and traceable to international standards. Designed and manufactured in Japan, the ring reflects Mitutoyo’s legacy of meticulous craftsmanship and quality control.

Usage

This setting ring is ideally suited for a wide range of environments where dimensional accuracy is critical. In machine shops, it serves as a reference for aligning spindle heads, calibrating CNC axes, and verifying the geometry of custom fixtures. In metrology laboratories, technicians use the ring to set up coordinate‑measuring machines (CMMs) and to verify the performance of micrometers and calipers. Quality‑control engineers in aerospace, automotive, and medical device manufacturing rely on the ring to maintain tight tolerances during production runs. Its compact size and robust construction also make it a reliable tool for field service technicians who need portable calibration solutions.

FAQ

What is the recommended cleaning method for the setting ring?

Use a lint‑free cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol to remove debris, then dry the surface with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the stainless‑steel finish.

Can this ring be used with metric gauge blocks?

Yes, the ring’s dimensions are compatible with both imperial and metric gauge blocks. Ensure the gauge blocks are calibrated to the same tolerance for optimal results.

How often should the ring be re‑calibrated?

For most industrial applications, a yearly calibration is sufficient. In high‑precision environments, consider a semi‑annual check to maintain traceability.

Is the ring compatible with CNC machine tool setups?

Absolutely. The ring’s stable geometry makes it an excellent reference for aligning CNC spindle heads, tool changers, and workpiece fixtures.

What warranty does Mitutoyo provide for this product?

Mitutoyo offers a standard one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects, along with optional extended service plans through authorized distributors.
