Mitutoyo 122-116 Blade Micrometer, Hardened Steel Blade 275-300mm, 0.75mm Blade
Part No. 122-116 | Range 275–300 mm | Graduation 0.01 mm
The Mitutoyo 122-116 Series 122 blade micrometer is designed for measuring groove diameters, keyways and other recessed features that conventional micrometers cannot easily reach. Its 275–300 mm measuring range makes it suitable for large shafts, pump and turbine rotors, rolls and heavy fabricated components where accurate internal groove measurements are required.
The micrometer uses a 0.75 mm Type A hardened steel blade that can enter narrow grooves while providing the durability needed for regular workshop and inspection use. Its non-rotating spindle keeps the blade aligned with the groove as the measurement is taken, helping prevent twisting, scraping and unnecessary wear on the measured surface.
A ratchet stop provides a constant 3–8 N measuring force for repeatable readings between operators. The 0.01 mm metric graduation is displayed through the satin chrome thimble and sleeve, while the supplied standard bar allows convenient zero-setting before measurement.
The 122-116 is particularly suited to large-diameter components where a standard outside micrometer cannot access the measurement feature.
For a smaller range, consider the Mitutoyo 122-115 blade micrometer, covering 250–275 mm.
Key Benefits
-
Reach recessed features: The blade-shaped measuring faces provide access to grooves, keyways and other narrow features across the 275–300 mm range.
-
Accurate metric measurement: Provides ±6 µm accuracy with 0.01 mm graduation.
-
Non-rotating spindle: Keeps the blade aligned with the groove and helps reduce twisting and surface contact during measurement.
-
Repeatable measuring force: The ratchet stop maintains a consistent 3–8 N measuring force.
-
Durable blade construction: The 0.75 mm Type A hardened steel blade is suitable for demanding workshop and inspection applications.
-
Clear scale reading: Satin chrome thimble and sleeve help reduce glare under workshop lighting.

How to Use
-
Clean the measuring blade faces and the feature being measured.
-
Check the micrometer against the supplied standard bar and verify the zero setting.
-
Open the micrometer slightly wider than the groove or feature.
-
Position the blade-shaped measuring faces squarely inside the groove or keyway.
-
Turn the ratchet stop until it clicks two or three times to apply consistent measuring force.
-
Read the sleeve and thimble scale at the 0.01 mm graduation and record the measurement while the micrometer remains correctly positioned.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Mitutoyo 122-116 blade micrometer used for?
It is designed to measure groove diameters, keyways and other recessed or narrow features within its 275–300 mm range. The blade-shaped measuring faces can access locations that conventional micrometers may not reach.
How accurate is the Mitutoyo 122-116?
The 122-116 has an accuracy of ±6 µm and a graduation of 0.01 mm. Its measuring-face parallelism is specified as (3 + R/100) µm, where R is the maximum range in millimetres.
Why does the 122-116 use a non-rotating spindle?
The non-rotating spindle keeps the blade aligned with the groove as the micrometer closes. This helps reduce twisting against the measured surface and supports consistent measurements.
What blade does the Mitutoyo 122-116 use?
It uses a Type A hardened steel blade with a thickness of 0.75 mm. This design provides access to many groove and keyway applications while offering durability for regular use.
Is a setting standard included?
Yes. A standard bar is supplied for zero-setting because the 122-116 has a 275–300 mm range rather than starting from zero. The micrometer is also supplied in a fitted case.
What is the measuring force of the 122-116?
The ratchet stop provides a constant measuring force of approximately 3–8 N to help maintain repeatable measurements.
