Mitutoyo Micrometer Heads guide: models and how to choose

Which Mitutoyo micrometer head should you buy?

Micrometer heads are the measuring spindle of a micrometer, sold without the frame, so you can build them into your own fixture or stage. Compare the range, the display step, the stem and the tip. The table lists all 6 models. Every value comes from the specification table on each product page.

All 6 models list Japan as the country of origin. "Not confirmed" means the product page does not state the value, so we do not claim it. The MHN1-25K2 page lists no data output terminal and no battery, so check with us before you order if you need either.

How to choose

  • Range: five models cover 0-25 mm. The MHD-50MB covers 0-50 mm and is longer (220 mm) and heavier (490 g).
  • Display step: five models list 0.001 mm. The MHN1-25K2 lists 0.01 mm.
  • Stem: the MHN1 and MHN3 list a straight stem. The MHN2 and MHN4 list a stem with a nut. Their other listed values are the same, so pick the stem that matches how you will mount the head.
  • Tip: the MHN1, MHN2, MHD-50MB and MHN1-25K2 list a flat tip. The MHN3 and MHN4 list a spherical tip.
  • Data output: the five models with a 0.001 mm display each list a data output terminal. Which cables or receivers fit is Not confirmed on these pages.
