MMZb outside micrometer – construction and applications
Applications for an instrument with this measuring range
Outside micrometer 500–600 mm is an analog instrument with a readability of 0.01 mm designed for large workpieces. The frame opening of over 500 mm accommodates large shafts, rolls, and housings, while the 100 mm scale range reduces the number of instruments needed in the department. The micrometer screw has a pitch of 0.5 mm, providing 50 divisions of 0.01 mm per thimble revolution.
The cemented carbide measuring faces maintain a flatness of 0.006 mm. The ratchet limits the force to 5–10 N — with such a large frame, constant contact force is essential for repeatability, because excessive force bends the frame and distorts the result by a few hundredths of a millimeter. The spindle lock allows the instrument to be removed from the workpiece without losing the reading. At this size, measurements are best taken with the instrument supported or with assistance from another person.
The instrument is manufactured by Kinex — a European measuring tool manufacturer with a long tradition in shop metrology.
Typical applications:
- measuring large drive shafts, rolls, and axles within the 500–600 mm range,
- inspecting journals for large bearings before reconditioning and assembly,
- acceptance measurements of components for heavy machinery and power generation equipment,
- use with support, on a stand, or with assistance from a second operator.

Measurement result
512.82 mm
The result consists of two readings. Whole and half millimeters are read on the sleeve — the whole-millimeter marks are below the reference line, and the 0.5 mm marks are above it. Hundredths of a millimeter are read on the thimble at the reference line. In the illustrated example, the thimble edge has passed the 12.5 mark, and the reference line indicates division 32, giving a result of 512.82 mm.
Steel expands by approximately 11.5 µm per meter for a temperature change of 1°C. A workpiece with a diameter of 600 mm that is 5°C warmer than the instrument is approximately 0.035 mm larger. The workpiece and micrometer should therefore be at the same temperature, preferably close to 20°C.
Do not tighten the spindle beyond the ratchet's slipping point
Excessive force distorts the result and can permanently deform the measuring faces. Turn only the ratchet knob until it starts to slip, then hold the reading with the spindle lock.

Measuring face flatness
Carbide tips maintain their flatness through years of daily workshop use.
50 divisions
One thimble revolution = 0.5 mm
The micrometer screw pitch divided into 50 divisions gives a reading of 0.01 mm per division.
5–10 N
Constant ratchet force
The ratchet slips when the measuring force is reached — the result does not depend on the operator's hand force.
Set contents and zero setting
Preparing for the first measurement
Included
Adjusting wrench
For adjusting the sleeve when setting zero on the setting standard.
Included
Setting standard 500 mm
Length standard for setting the zero point before the first measurement.
Before measurement, set the instrument's zero using the included 500 mm setting standard: close the tips onto the standard using the ratchet and check that the scale reads exactly 500.00 mm. Correct any deviation by rotating the sleeve with the adjusting wrench.

Full reading: sleeve and thimble readings plus the full hundreds of millimeters in the range (500 mm).
The 500–600 mm outside micrometer combines a simple, reliable analog design with a resolution of 0.01 mm. Carbide measuring tips, constant ratchet force, and a spindle lock ensure repeatable results over years of use. It is essential equipment for quality control stations wherever outside diameter measurement must be more reliable than with a caliper.
Frequently asked questions
Add the sleeve reading (whole and half millimeters) to the thimble reading (hundredths of a millimeter). Remember to add the full hundreds of millimeters for the range: in the illustrated example, 500 + 12.50 + 0.32 = 512.82 mm.
Steel expands by approximately 11.5 µm/m for every 1°C. A workpiece a few degrees warmer than the instrument is larger by a few hundredths of a millimeter, making a 0.01 mm reading meaningless. Measure after the temperatures have equalized, preferably at approximately 20°C.
The set includes an adjustment wrench for adjusting the sleeve and a 500 mm setting standard for setting the zero point. Store the instrument with the measuring faces slightly apart.
