Height Gages – Mitutoyo Height Gages

Explore Mitutoyo height gages for vertical measurement, layout and dimensional inspection on precision surface plates.

Height Measurement for Machining and Inspection

Mitutoyo height gages are used on a precision surface plate to measure vertical dimensions, steps and differences in height. Depending on the model and accessories, they may also support layout work, scribing, diameter checks, feature-location measurements and comparative inspection.

Mechanical height gages provide a durable, straightforward approach for common layout and measurement tasks. Digital models simplify reading and may support data output, while linear height systems add motorized operation and more advanced measurement functions for quality-control workflows.

Selecting a Mitutoyo Height Gage

The correct instrument depends on the largest parts being measured, the tolerance involved and the type of features the operator must reach. The surface plate, probe or scriber and surrounding environment are also part of the measurement system and should be considered during selection. Accurate setup also requires a clean surface plate, suitable contact point and consistent technique so the instrument can perform as intended.

• Measuring range must accommodate the workpiece and required setup.
• Accuracy and resolution should fit the applicable tolerances.
• Mechanical, digital and motorized systems offer different levels of capability.
• Probe and accessory options expand the types of features that can be measured.
• Data output can support documentation and statistical process control.
