Mitutoyo 147-106 Can Seam Micrometer 0-0.5"
Part No. 147-106 | Range 0–0.5" (0–12.7 mm) | Graduation 0.001" | Accuracy Not specified
Product Overview
The Mitutoyo 147-106 can seam micrometer is designed for measuring the width, height and depth of can seams across a 0–0.5" (0–12.7 mm) range. Its analog, inch-graduated design provides 0.001" graduation for checking seam dimensions during production, quality control and packaging inspection.
The instrument uses a Ø5 mm measuring spindle with a 0.5 mm spindle pitch. Its thimble and sleeve feature a satin chrome finish with a Ø13 mm scale for clear analog reading. With a main-unit mass of approximately 65 g, the 147-106 is lightweight for repeated line-side measurements.
Mitutoyo can seam micrometers are available for different can types, including steel, aluminium and spray cans. The supplied information does not identify a specific can type for the 147-106, so the applicable can type should be confirmed before ordering.
One specification difference noted in the supplied data is the spindle pitch: the 147-106 is listed with a 0.5 mm spindle pitch, while the inch-graduated 147-104 is listed with a 0.635 mm spindle pitch.
For the metric alternative, see the Mitutoyo 147-105 Can Seam Micrometer, 0–13 mm.
