About Height Gages

Height gages or gaging systems are used for measuring the height of components or product features.  These include vernier height gages, micrometer height gages, surface gages, or other height-gaging units.  Height gages can vary from simple surface gages for measurement transfer and marking to motorized, digital height gages.  Height gages are available with both English and metric incremental scales.


Products & Services Related to Height Gages
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.
