VERSATILE INDICATOR GAGE PROVIDES HANDY, ECONOMICAL WAY TO MEASURE IDs, ODs, RIGHT ON SHOP FLOOR
Mahr Federal will be featuring their new 36 B ID/OD Indicator Gage, a versatile bench-mounting indicator gage that provides a handy and economical way to measure IDs and ODs right on the shop floor. Available in both T-Plate and V-Plate styles and in two sizes, the 36 B ID/OD Indicator Gage can measure inside diameters from 0.75 in to 9 in and outside diameters from 0.25 in to 9.5 in. The 36 B comes with either a dial indicator, Maxum® III, or µMaxum indicator, and a number of different jaw sets and contacts.
The T-Plate configuration gives a diameter reading directly across the diameter (a third contact may be used as a side-stop or centralizer), while the V-Plate configuration is self-centralizing. Frequently used to inspect parts with odd number lobing conditions, the three “V” jaws measure the distance between the sensitive contact and the chord formed by the two reference contacts. This measurement bears a direct relationship to the diameter, and compensation is made by a special ratio indicator so diameter is read directly.
