Fixture self-production guide
A micrometer head is clamped to a fixture by its stem.
Although the three most popular clamping methods are
shown on the right, Mitutoyo only recommends the
Clamp Nut and Slotted Fixture methods for reasons of
minimal risk of the clamping action affecting the
spindle fit within the stem.

Test conditions
After mounting micrometer heads by the three methods as described above, the test load (in direc-
tion ‘P’) was applied to each head using a properties of materials testing machine. As the test load
was increased the load at the time when the micrometer head failed or was pushed out of the
fixture was recorded.
