Go Gages

 

Go gages provide a precision tool for production comparative gaging based on a fixed limit.  Go gages consist of a fixed limit gage with a gaging limit based on the plus or minus tolerances of the inspected part.  A go ring gage's dimensions are based on the maximum OD tolerance of the round bar or part being gaged. A go plug gage's dimensions are based on the minimum ID tolerance of the hole or part being gaged.  The go plug (ID) gage should be specified to a plus gage makers' tolerance from the minimum part tolerance.  The go ring (OD) gage should be specified to a minus gage makers' tolerance from the maximum part tolerance.

Products & Services
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.
Snap Gages
Snap gages are used in production settings where specific diametrical or thickness measurements must be repeated frequently with precision and accuracy.
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.
Masters and Setting Gages
Masters and setting gages provide dimensional standards for calibrating other gages.
