About Ring Gages

Ring gages are used for go / no-go assessment compared to the specified dimensional tolerances or attributes of pins, shafts, or threaded studs.  Ring gages are used for comparative gaging as well as for checking, calibrating or setting of gages or other standards.  Individual ring gages or ring gage sets are made to variety of tolerance grades in metric and English dimensions for master, setting or working applications.  Rings are available in plain (smooth, unthreaded), threaded, cylindrical and tapered forms to go, no-go or nominal tolerances.  There are three main types of ring gages: go, no go, and master or setting ring gages.


Products & Services Related to Ring 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.
