Mitutoyo 227-216-20 ABSOLUTE Digital Adjustable Measuring Force Micrometer, .4′′ – .8′′ (10.16 - 20.32 mm)

The Mitutoyo 227-216-20 is a QuickMike digital micrometer with adjustable, constant
measuring force, covering .4′′ – .8′′ (10.16 - 20.32 mm). It's built for wire, paper, and
plastic/rubber parts that a standard micrometer would compress or deform.

Part No. 227-216-20 | Range .4′′ – .8′′ (10.16 - 20.32 mm)

Standard micrometers apply whatever force the operator's hand gives them, which is exactly
the problem when measuring wire, paper, film, or soft plastic and rubber parts — too much
pressure and the reading compresses the material; too little and it's inconsistent between
operators. The Mitutoyo 227-216-20 solves this with a ratchet mechanism in the thimble that
applies a constant, adjustable measuring force every time, covering .4′′ – .8′′ (10.16 - 20.32
mm).
The measuring force can be set in stages (2; 4; 6; 8; 10 N) to match the workpiece, so a
delicate film gets a different force than a length of wire, and the reading stays repeatable
regardless of who is holding the gauge. A non-rotating spindle with a fast 10 mm-per-revolution
feed gets the anvil to the part quickly without twisting or marking it, and the ABSOLUTE digital
display means there's no origin-setting step every time the micrometer is switched on.
Because the applied force is repeatable rather than operator-dependent, even less experienced
staff can produce high-accuracy, consistent readings — useful for shops rotating QC staff
across shifts or lines.
If your part falls outside this range, the same QuickMike adjustable-force family also covers .8′′–
1.2′′ in the Mitutoyo 227-217-20, so you can match the gauge to your exact part size before
ordering.

Key Benefits

• Constant, repeatable measuring force — even inexperienced operators get consistent, high-
  accuracy readings
• Adjustable force in stages to suit different workpieces, from soft plastic/rubber to wire and
  paper
  
• Non-rotating spindle avoids twisting or marking delicate parts during measurement
  
• Speedy 10 mm/rev spindle feed gets the anvil to the part far faster than a standardmicrometer thimble
• ABSOLUTE digital display removes the need to reset the origin every time the micrometer is
  switched on

Who This Product Is Best For

• QC and inspection teams measuring wire, paper, film, or plastic/rubber parts that deformunder normal micrometer pressure
  
• Machine shops that need consistent readings across multiple operators regardless of
  experience level
  
• Calibration labs standardising on adjustable-force micrometers for compressible or delicate materials
  
• Buyers replacing analog micrometers where operator-applied force was producing
  inconsistent results

How to Measure With This Micrometer

1. Set the ratchet thimble to the measuring force appropriate for the workpiece material.
2. Zero the display against the setting standard supplied with the unit.
3. Close the spindle onto the part using the ratchet thimble until it clicks, then read the
ABSOLUTE digital display directly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What range does the Mitutoyo 227-216-20 micrometer measure?
The 227-216-20 measures .4′′ – .8′′ (10.16 - 20.32 mm), with Inch/Metric switching on the digitaldisplay.
What is a constant/adjustable measuring force micrometer used for?
It's designed for parts that deform under normal micrometer pressure, such as wire, paper,
film, and plastic or rubber components, where a repeatable low force gives a consistent reading regardless of who is operating the gauge.
Can the measuring force be changed?
Yes. The force can be adjusted in stages (2; 4; 6; 8; 10 N), with a stated tolerance of ±0.4 +
(force setting/10) N, to suit different workpiece materials.
What comes with this micrometer?
The unit ships with a storage box, a setting standard, a screwdriver, and one battery.
How long does the battery last?
Approximately 5 years under normal use.
Which micrometer should I choose for a different size range?
The 227-217-20 covers .8′′–1.2′′ in the same QuickMike adjustable-force family, so you can
match the gauge to your exact part size.
Does the spindle rotate against the part?
No. The spindle is non-rotating, which avoids twisting or marking soft or delicate workpieces during measurement.
