Product Description
The Mitutoyo 568-465 Borematic bore gauge is designed for fast internal diameter inspection where measurements need to be taken directly on the machine or workshop floor. Its .650–.800" (16.51–20.32 mm) measuring range covers applications such as piston pin bores, connecting-rod small ends, hydraulic cartridge valve cavities, gear pump shaft bores, compressor components, and thin-walled sleeves.
The snap-open design allows the operator to squeeze the lever, insert the measuring head into the bore, and release it so the three contact points self-centre on the diameter. This one-handed operation helps reduce handling time and makes it practical for checking a component before it is unclamped from a machine.
The gauge provides ±.00025" (±5 µm) accuracy with .00005" (0.001 mm) resolution. The LCD display uses 8.5 mm digits and can rotate through 330°, allowing the reading to be positioned toward the operator.
An electrostatic capacitance ABSOLUTE encoder maintains the measurement origin for the battery life and supports unlimited response without over-speed errors. TiN-coated measuring contacts can reach close to the bottom of blind holes, helping with deeper internal measurements.
The gauge supports GO/NO-GO judgement using user-set upper and lower limits, along with a judgement zoom display. Measurement data can also be transferred through Digimatic SPC output using compatible SPC cables, USB Input Tool Direct, or U-WAVE-T wireless connectivity.
For deeper bores, the optional 150 mm extension rod 952621 can be used where applicable. A matching setting ring is sold separately for setting and verifying the gauge before measurement.
The Mitutoyo 568-465 is positioned between the 568-464, covering .500–.650", and the 568-466, covering .800–1.000". The 568-966 complete set combines the relevant Borematic sizes for a wider .500–1.000" measurement range.
Key Benefits

How to Use / How It Works
- Prepare the gauge: Use a suitable .650–.800" setting ring, sold separately, to establish the measurement reference.
- Set the origin: Master the gauge against the certified setting-ring dimension and perform the required zero/origin setting.
- Set tolerances: Enter the upper and lower limits when using the GO/NO-GO judgement function.
- Measure the bore: Keep the component clamped where required, squeeze the snap-open lever, insert the measuring head, and release it.
- Allow the head to centre: The three-point contact system self-centres inside the bore for the measurement.
- Read the result: Position the 330° rotatable display for convenient viewing.
- Record the measurement: Hold the reading or transfer data through compatible Digimatic SPC, USB Input Tool Direct, or U-WAVE-T equipment.
Frequently Asked Questions
What bore range does the Mitutoyo 568-465 measure?
The 568-465 measures .650–.800" (16.51–20.32 mm) internal diameters.
Can the 568-465 be used while the part is still on the machine?
Yes. Its snap-open, one-handed design is intended to support quick bore checks before the component is unclamped, where the machine setup allows safe measurement access.
What is the accuracy of the Mitutoyo 568-465?
The specified accuracy is ±.00025" (±5 µm), with .00005" (0.001 mm) resolution.
Does the 568-465 support blind-hole measurement?
Yes. Its TiN-coated measuring contact points can reach close to the bottom of suitable blind holes.
Does it provide GO/NO-GO inspection?
Yes. The gauge supports user-set upper and lower limits for GO/NO-GO judgement, including a judgement zoom display.
What battery does the gauge use?
The Mitutoyo 568-465 uses one SR44 battery (938882) and is specified for approximately 5,000 hours of battery life.
Is an extension rod available?
Yes. A 150 mm extension rod, part number 952621, is available for applicable deeper measurement requirements.
