Taper Ring Gage

Taper Ring Gages are precision measuring tools used to check the accuracy and quality of tapered holes or shafts. They are part of the supply class Inspection Gages and Precision Layout Tools, which falls under the supply group Measuring Tools.

Taper Ring Gages are typically made of high-quality steel and have a tapered shape that matches the taper of the hole or shaft being measured. They are used to ensure that the taper dimensions are within the specified tolerances.

To use a Taper Ring Gage, it is inserted into the tapered hole or placed over the tapered shaft. If the gage fits smoothly and snugly without any gaps or excessive tightness, it indicates that the taper is within the acceptable range. If there are any issues with the fit, it suggests that the taper may be out of tolerance and further inspection or adjustments may be required.

Taper Ring Gages are commonly used in industries such as manufacturing, machining, and engineering, where precise taper dimensions are critical for the proper functioning of components and assemblies.

It is important to note that Taper Ring Gages come in various sizes and taper angles to accommodate different applications and specifications. Therefore, it is essential to select the appropriate gage that matches the specific taper requirements of the hole or shaft being measured.
