Mitutoyo 568-470 Borematic Bore Gauge 2-2.5" | KSA
Product Summary
The Mitutoyo 568-470 Borematic bore gauge measures internal diameters from 2.0–2.5" (50.8–63.5 mm) using a self-centring three-point measuring head. It provides direct digital readings with .00005" (0.001 mm) resolution, ±.0003" (±6 µm) accuracy, GO/NO-GO judgement and Digimatic SPC output. Its snap-open operation makes it suitable for in-process inspection of bearing housings, hydraulic ports, pump housings and machined bores.

Product Description
The Mitutoyo 568-470 Digital ABS Borematic is designed for direct internal-diameter inspection across the 2.0–2.5" (50.8–63.5 mm) range. Its three-point measuring system self-centres inside the bore, helping reduce the operator technique involved in finding the minimum reading with conventional two-point or dial bore gauges.
With ±.0003" (±6 µm) accuracy and .00005" (0.001 mm) resolution, the 568-470 provides direct digital measurements for bearing housings, hydraulic cylinder ports, pump housings, valve bodies, bored flanges and other precision components.
The snap-open lever allows the operator to squeeze, insert and release the measuring head inside the bore. The three contact points then self-centre against the internal diameter, allowing a quick reading during inspection. This makes the gauge suitable for in-process checks where the component may still be positioned in or near a machining setup.
The electrostatic-capacitance ABSOLUTE encoder retains the established origin during normal battery life and is designed to prevent over-speed counting errors. This allows the gauge to respond quickly while maintaining the reference origin.
The LCD display has 8.5 mm digits and rotates through 330°, helping operators view the measurement when working around machine fixtures or inside equipment. Inch and metric units can be selected as required.
The data-hold function freezes the displayed reading when the gauge is being used in an area where the screen is difficult to view. GO/NO-GO judgement can be configured using user-defined upper and lower limits to support faster dimensional decisions.
TiN-coated measuring contact points can reach close to the bottom of blind holes. For deeper bearing housings, pump bodies and other recessed components, the optional 150 mm extension rod 952623 provides additional reach.
The gauge operates with one SR44 battery and is specified for approximately 5,000 hours of use. Other functions include Zero/ABS, two-point preset, error alarm, low-battery alert, function lock and inch/mm conversion.
For digital inspection records, the 568-470 provides Digimatic SPC output. Compatible connectivity options include SPC cables 905338 and 905409, USB Input Tool Direct 06ADV380F and U-WAVE-T wireless connectivity using the appropriate connecting cable.
For adjacent measurement ranges, the Mitutoyo 568-468 covers 1.2–1.6" bores, while the Mitutoyo 568-471 covers 2.5–3.0" bores.

Who This Product Is Best For
The Mitutoyo 568-470 is suitable for CNC turning and boring operations, hydraulic equipment manufacturers, pump repair workshops, heavy-equipment maintenance teams and quality-control departments in Saudi Arabia and the GCC.
Typical applications include bearing seats and housings, hydraulic cylinder ports, pump housings, valve bodies, bored flanges and other components with internal diameters between 2.0" and 2.5".
It is particularly useful for in-process inspection where operators need direct digital readings without removing the component for a separate measurement setup.
The gauge is also suitable for production environments where GO/NO-GO judgement and SPC data transfer are part of the inspection workflow.
How to Use / How It Works
1. Establish the origin
Place the gauge in a suitable certified master setting ring, press the ORIGIN function and enter the ring's certified size. The ABSOLUTE encoder retains the established origin during normal battery life.
2. Set the measurement limits
Select inch or millimetre measurement and enter upper and lower tolerance values if GO/NO-GO judgement is required.
3. Insert and measure
Squeeze the snap-open lever, insert the measuring head into the bore and release it. The three contact points self-centre against the internal diameter and provide a direct reading.
4. Check the displayed value
Read the measurement directly from the LCD. If the display is difficult to see during an in-process check, use the data-hold function to retain the reading.
5. Record the result
Use the displayed measurement for inspection or transfer the data through the Digimatic SPC output to compatible data-collection equipment or software.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Mitutoyo 568-470 measure?
The 568-470 measures internal diameters from 2.0–2.5" (50.8–63.5 mm) and supports both inch and millimetre display.
Can the 568-470 be used for in-process inspection?
Yes. Its three-point self-centring measuring head and snap-open operation make it suitable for quick internal-diameter checks during machining and maintenance workflows.
How accurate is the Mitutoyo 568-470?
Mitutoyo specifies ±.0003" (±6 µm) accuracy with .00005" (0.001 mm) resolution.
Does the 568-470 require a setting ring?
A suitable setting ring is required to establish the gauge's reference origin and is sold separately.
Can it measure blind holes?
Yes. The TiN-coated contact points can reach close to the bottom of blind holes. The optional 150 mm extension rod 952623 can provide additional reach for deeper components.
Does the gauge have GO/NO-GO judgement?
Yes. Upper and lower tolerance limits can be entered so the gauge can provide GO/NO-GO judgement on the display.
Can the display reading be held?
Yes. The data-hold function keeps the displayed value visible when the measurement needs to be checked away from the normal viewing position.
How can measurements be transferred to an SPC system?
The gauge provides Digimatic SPC output. Compatible options include SPC cables 905338 and 905409, USB Input Tool Direct 06ADV380F and U-WAVE-T wireless connectivity using the appropriate connecting cable.
Which model should I choose for a smaller or larger bore?
The 568-470 covers 2.0–2.5". The 568-468 covers 1.2–1.6", while the 568-471 covers 2.5–3.0".
Is the Mitutoyo 568-470 available as part of a set?
