Snap Gauges are precision inspection tools designed for fast, accurate measurement of external dimensions such as diameters, thicknesses, and widths. Engineered for high repeatability and speed, these gauges enable quick Go/No-Go verification of parts in production and quality control processes.

Key Features:

✅ High-Strength Construction:
Manufactured from hardened alloy steel or tool steel (typically 58–62 HRC) to provide excellent wear resistance and dimensional stability, even under frequent use.

✅ Go/No-Go Design:
Features precisely ground Go and No-Go jaws that instantly confirm whether a part is within specified tolerance limits—no additional measuring tools required.

✅ Adjustable or Fixed Styles:
Available in fixed configurations for dedicated measurements or adjustable types with micrometer screws for fine-tuning the size setting.

✅ Precision Ground Surfaces:
All contact faces are lapped and ground to tight tolerances (often within ±0.003 mm), delivering consistent, repeatable results.

✅ Ergonomic Design:
Lightweight, balanced frames and insulated grips reduce operator fatigue and measurement errors during high-volume inspections.

✅ Clear Identification:
Laser-etched markings specify nominal size, tolerance, gauge type, and serial numbers for easy identification and traceability.

Applications:

• Checking external diameters of shafts, pins, studs, and turned parts
• Verifying thicknesses or widths in machined or fabricated components
• In-process inspection in high-volume manufacturing
• Receiving inspection of supplied components
• Final quality control checks before assembly or packaging

Benefits:

🔹 Fast Inspection:
Instant Go/No-Go verification improves throughput and productivity.

🔹 Consistent Accuracy:
Precision-ground jaws deliver reliable, repeatable measurements.

🔹 Reduced Scrap and Rework:
Early detection of out-of-tolerance parts prevents assembly issues.

🔹 Long Service Life:
Hardened materials and quality construction ensure durability over thousands of cycles.
