Mitutoyo 160-153 | Vernier Caliper | Series 160 | Nib Style Jaw | Graduation 0.02 mm | Accuracy ±0.05 mm | Range 0 to 600 mm | Weight 1400 g
Part No. 160-153 | Range 0–600 mm / 0–24" | Graduation 0.02 mm / 0.001" | Accuracy ±0.05 mm
Product Overview
The Mitutoyo 160-153 is a Series 160 vernier caliper with a 0–600 mm / 0–24" measuring range, nib-style jaws, fine adjustment and dual metric/inch scales. It is designed for measuring large outside and inside dimensions on components such as shafts, flanges, housings, plates and fabricated parts.
The nib-style jaws have round measuring faces that allow the same pair of jaws to be used for outside and inside diameter measurements. Inside dimensions can be read directly from the appropriate scale, eliminating the need to add a jaw or nib dimension to the reading. The specified minimum inside measurement is 20.1 mm.
A fine-adjustment carriage provides controlled movement of the slider over the long 600 mm beam. After positioning the jaws close to the required dimension, the carriage and adjusting wheel allow the operator to bring the jaws gently into contact with the workpiece. An upper locking screw can retain the measurement when the caliper needs to be removed for reading.
The hardened stainless steel construction and satin-chromed scales are suited to regular industrial measurement. The dual-scale design provides 0.02 mm metric and 0.001" inch graduations, while the specified accuracy is ±0.05 mm.

Who This Product Is Best For
The Mitutoyo 160-153 is suitable for heavy engineering workshops, fabrication operations, maintenance teams, pump and valve overhaul work, and quality-control departments measuring large components.
Its 600 mm capacity is useful for large shafts, flanges, housings, plates and other components that exceed the practical range of standard workshop calipers. The nib-style jaws are also useful when both external and internal dimensions need to be checked with the same instrument.
How to Use
-
Clean the jaws and the measurement surfaces of the workpiece.
-
Close the jaws and check the zero position before beginning measurement.
-
Slide the movable jaw close to the required dimension.
-
Engage the fine-adjustment carriage and use the adjusting wheel to bring the jaws gently into contact with the component.
-
Keep the caliper aligned with the dimension being measured to reduce measurement error.
-
Use the appropriate scale for the required metric or inch reading and application.
-
For inside measurements, position the round nib faces correctly within the bore or opening and read the inside dimension directly.
-
Use the upper locking screw when the measurement needs to be retained while the caliper is removed from the part.
-
Recheck the zero position after completing measurements and clean the instrument before storage.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Mitutoyo 160-153 used for?
