About Air Gages

Air gauges use pneumatic pressure and flow to measure and sort dimensional attributes. They provide a high degree of speed and accuracy in high-volume production environments. Air metrology instruments can provide comparative or quantitative measurements such as thickness, depth, internal diameter (ID), outer diameter (OD), bore, taper and roundness. Air gauges and gaging systems may also use an indicator or amplifiers such as air columns combined with air probes or gauges.


Products & Services Related to Air Gages

Bore and ID Gages
Bore and ID gages are designed for internal diameter dimensional measurement or assessment.
Calipers
Calipers typically use a precise slide movement for inside, outside, depth or step measurements. Some caliper types are used for comparing or transferring dimensions.
Depth Gages
Depth gages are used to measure of the depth of holes, cavities, or other component features.
Gage Blocks
Gage blocks are manufactured to precise gagemaker tolerance grades for calibrating, checking, and setting fixed and comparative gages.
Indicators and Comparators
Indicators and comparators measure where the linear movement of a precision spindle or probe is amplified.
Micrometers
Micrometers are instruments for precision dimensional gaging consisting of a ground spindle and anvil mounted in a C-shaped steel frame.  Noncontact laser micrometers are also available.
Snap Gages
Snap gages are used in production settings where specific diametrical or thickness measurements must be repeated frequently with precision and accuracy.
