Gage Type

|
| ||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Height Gage | Gages are used to measure height. Common types include Vernier height gages, micrometer height gages, surface gages, and other height gaging units. | ||
| Dial Height Gage | Devices include dial displays, column/bargraphs, and direct reading scales. Dial displays use a pointer or needle mounted in a graduated, disc dial. The dial provides an indication of dimension or position around or from a zero reference point with dial graduations or styles, such as 10-0-10, 45-0-45, 4-0-4 or 50-0-50. Column and bar graph displays provide a graphical presentation of dimensional data. Direct reading graduated scales have rulings or graduations engraved or printed onto a linear, disc, or drum surface that provides a direct indication of the gaged dimension. Vernier scales provide additional amplification or an increased level of precision (e.g., thousandths). | ||
| Digital Height Gage | Digital display types present metrology data in numeric or alphanumeric form. Micrometers, calipers, and indicators are available with digital displays. Gages with digital displays often have data output capabilities using serial or other formats. Digital readouts are a precision type of digital display integrated into dimensional gages or systems. | ||
| Height Micrometer | Micrometers are instruments for precision dimensional gaging. They consist of a ground spindle and anvil mounted in a C-shaped steel frame. Micrometers are available in scale, digital, and dial variations. | ||
| Surface Gage | Gages or tools are used to transfer measurements or mark heights. Surface gages usually do not have indicating displays or graduations; however, some types are used to hold dial indicators. | ||
| Gaging System / Station | Gaging systems or stations are larger, more complex units for large-scale gaging. They are usually available in bench top or floor mounted configurations. These devices may consist of several gages, fixtures, or other components for holding or manipulating parts during inspection. Typically, systems or stations have specialized gaging or inspection systems customized for particular OEM application. Air gaging stations, gear testing systems, form gaging systems, tire profiling systems, and universal gaging systems are example of these types of products. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary height gage types. | ||

| |||
| Gaging Technology | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Air / Pneumatic | Gages or gaging systems use the changes in flow or pressure in air nozzles or inlets internally located in air plugs, probes, rings or snaps or other pneumatic gages. Pneumatic comparators, digital readouts, analog amplifiers, columns or flowmeter / rotameter tubes are used to display air gaging dimensional data. | ||
| Electronic | Electronic gages use LVDT, capacitance, inductive or other electronic probes to sense the distance or displacement of a contact or stylus. Mechanical gages such as micrometers, plug gages, and snap gages may employ an integral electronic probe in addition to the mechanical gaging elements. | ||
| Mechanical | Mechanical gages use comparison or the physical movement and displacement of a gaging element (e.g., spindle, slide, stem) to determine the dimensions of a part or feature. Micrometers, calipers, indicators, plug gages, ring gages or snap gages are examples of mechanical gages. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary technology types. | ||
| Search Logic: | All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||
| |||
| Gage Set? | Gage sets include several gages and accessories packaged into a kit, usually in a case with adjusting tools. Tool kits sometimes contain alternate extensions and contact tips, holders, bases, or standards. | ||
| Search Logic: | "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice. | ||

| Range: | The total range length or dimensional range that gages can measure. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| |||
| Graduation / Resolution: | The best or minimum graduations for scaled or dial-indicating instruments, or the best or minimum resolution for gages with digital displays. | ||
| Search Logic: | All matching products will have a value less than or equal to the specified value. | ||

|
| ||
| Units: | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| English | Gages and gaging systems are based on the English system of measurement (e.g., inches). | ||
| Metric | Gages and gaging systems are based on the metric system of measurement (e.g., centimeters, millimeters). | ||

Features

|
|
| ||
| Certificate of Calibration | Gages have a certificate of calibration, a document that indicates a gage meets or has been calibrated to specific dimensional tolerance or gaging precision standards requirements. ANSI, ISO, DIN, and NIST standards are used to control gage calibration. | ||
| Search Logic: | "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice. | ||
| |||
| Gage Calibrator | Gages can be used to check or calibrate other gages. | ||
| Search Logic: | "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice. | ||
| |||
| Measurement Transfer Capability | Gages or tools, such as spring calipers or surface gages, can be used to transfer a measurement from a standard or rule to a part, for layout or other purposes. | ||
| Search Logic: | "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice. | ||
| |||
| Locking Feature | The slide or spindle of the gage can be locked in a fixed position. | ||
| Search Logic: | "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice. | ||
| |||
| Motorized Travel | Height gages or other gaging systems are designed with a drive that moves the measuring slide or spindle. Motorized travel is useful on gaging systems with large measuring ranges. | ||
