| Type | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Non-Adjustable / Fixed Limit | These snap gages are factory set or not user-adjustable, such as AGD fixed limit style snap gages. The gage is set to go and no-go tolerances. A snap gage's go contact dimensions are based on the maximum tolerance of the round bar, thickness or part feature being gaged. A snap gage's no-go contact dimensions are based on the minimum tolerance of the round bar, thickness, or part feature being gaged. | ||
| Variable (Top Sensitive Contact) | These snap gages use a variable to sensitive contact point that moves up during part gaging. The contact point moves providing a go to no go gaging range. The top contact is normally connected to a dial indicator that provides visual indication of any diametrical or thickness variations. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary snap gage 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. | ||
| |||
| 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). | ||

| |||
| Display: | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Dial / Analog / Direct Reading Scale | 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 Display | 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. | ||

|
| ||
| 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. | ||
| |||
| 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. | ||
| Optical | Gages use optical, laser, or video-based technology to measure dimensional features. | ||
| 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. | ||
| |||
| Single Block Anvil | Snap gages are designed with a single lower contact anvil. Other types of snaps gages are designed with two upper and two lower contact points. | ||
| Search Logic: | "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice. | ||
| |||
| Backstop / Part Support | Backstops are a protrusion or stem located behind a part to hold or stop the part from moving past a certain point during gaging. Micrometers and snap gages sometimes have these features to aid gaging. | ||
| Search Logic: | "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice. | ||
| |||
| Interchangeable Anvils / Contact Tips? | Gages having replaceable anvils, contact points, styli, spindles, or other contacting tips or faces. For example, a micrometer with a flat contacting point can be replaced with a round point for gaging tubing. | ||
| 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. | ||
