Digital Block Gauge - Specification

Note 1: Accuracy 0.1 μm or % reading (whichever greater) assumes 20 mm tip holder mounted on center, spring operation with                      standard springs. Offset tips, long arms etc may reduce performance.

Note 2: Repeatabilty is under the same conditions as accuracy.

Block Gauges

Solartron’s Block Gauges makes precision measurements of bores and cavities a simple and reliable process. More generally, the use of these devices is recommended in applications where space and access is limited and where the use of axial probes is not possible. The 2 mm Block Gauge is only 8 mm wide. The Block Gauges offer unrivalled ruggedness, accuracy and repeatability. All three units are extremely versatile and provide datum surfaces and all the adjustments required for precision gauging applications. Block Gauges have robust precision linear bearings with minimal clearance, which limits unmeasured movements maintaining good repeatability even when the contact tip is mounted off centre.

Combining multiple sensors using the Orbit Digital Measurement network is easy and data can be read using a Solartron readout or the Gauge Computer Software making system integration simple.

Attention to detail in both design and manufacture of the displacement sensor ensures precision measurement throughout the linear displacement transducer's life.

Solartron Metrology offers a large range of displacement sensors to suit multiple applications with different cable outlets (radial or axial), multiple measuring ranges, different cable types like steel braided which provides additional protection for displacement sensors that are being used in harsh environments. 

Digital Specialist Probes

Solartron's specialist gauging probes are for applications where a standard pencil style probe, for various reasons, would not fit. They are primarily motion changers or mechanical interfaces that sit between the component and measuring sensor.

Block Gauges have precision linear bearings with a zero clearance which limits unmeasured movement and therefore maintains excellent repeatability, even when the contact tip is mounted off centre. Flexures have no sliding components within the gauge frame and no contacting moving components within the gauge frame and no contacting moving parts within the sensor. This means that millions of cycles are achievable without degradation of performance.
