Digital built-in caliper M218.254 — 150 mm, capacitive measuring system, 0.01 mm resolution

Digital built-in caliper M218.254 is a DIN 862-compliant measuring module for workshop panels and machine interfaces, designed for vertical installation where robust, repeatable linear measurement is required

• Capacitive measuring system, 0.01 mm resolution
• 150 mm measuring range, DIN 862 compliant
• Bidirectional measurement capability
• Integrated mm/inch, zero and hold functions

Reliable precision for workshop quality control

The built-in caliper uses a capacitive measuring system with an electronic display resolution of 0.01 mm, delivering fast, numerical results suitable for statistical process control. The declared measuring uncertainty of ±0.03 mm defines its suitability for standard workshop inspection tasks where consistent repeatability is required. Compliance with DIN 862 provides a familiar reference for machinists and inspection personnel, ensuring the module integrates into established calibration and QA routines while reducing interpretation errors from analogue readouts.

Space-saving mounting and practical operation features

Designed as a vertical, built-in unit in a stainless steel housing, the device fits into machine doors, test fixtures or bespoke control panels without occupying bench space. The digital display offers a clear button set (ON/OFF/PRE-, mm/inch, 0/ABS-, TOL, DIR and HOLD) to simplify measurements and setup. The RB 5 data output enables connection to data loggers or readout systems, facilitating automated capture of measurement results and eliminating manual transcription steps that introduce errors into production logs.

Application scope and handling benefits

Classified in the Standard (100–300 mm) range, the caliper combines reach and rigidity for everyday applications in metalworking, toolmaking and component assembly. The bidirectional measurement function allows readings when the slide is moved in either direction, reducing handling time for repetitive checks. At approximately 0.45 kg, the unit is compact yet robust, making it suitable for permanent installation in jigs or as a fixed reference in production cells where quick, repeatable checks are required to maintain throughput and reduce scrap rates.
