Information about Calipers

Calipers typically use a precise slide movement for inside, outside, depth or step measurements. Specialized slide type calipers are available for center, depth and gear tooth measurement and gaging machine table travel. Some caliper types such as spring / fay or firm joint calipers do not usually have a graduated scale or display and are used for comparing or transferring dimensions.

Air Gages

Air gages use pneumatic pressure and flow to measure or sort dimensional attributes.

Dimensional Gages and Instruments

Dimensional gages and instruments provide quantitative measurements of product or component dimensional and form attributes such as wall thickness, depth, height, length, inner diameter (ID), outer diameter (OD), taper or bore.

Laser Micrometers

Laser micrometers measure extremely small distances using laser technology.

Masters and Setting Gages

Masters and setting gages provide dimensional standards for calibrating other gages.

Plug and Pin Gages

Plug and pin gauges are used to compare hole and slot dimensions or locations to specific tolerances. This product area includes go gauges and no-go gauges.

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.

Thread Gages

Thread gages are dimensional instruments for measuring and/or verifying thread size, pitch or other parameters.
