Fixed limit snap gauges – designed to assess dimensional tolerance for a single value of the dimensional parameter. They Improve Installation Quality: By using a gap gauge to get the measurements and fittings installed correctly, you can feel more confident that your work is safe, secure and stable. It’s always a possibility that something will go wrong when you’re installing your fittings, just as it’s possible that anything could go wrong at any stage of any project.

Wouldn’t it be fantastic if instead of having to worry about your designated gap gauge, your fittings tightened themselves? That way, you wouldn’t have to worry about buying multiple gap gauges to fit each brand, training workers to use gap gauges or forgetting to carry these tools around with you.This is exactly what you’ll get when you shop at Mako Products — your U.S. source of Superlok fittings and technology.

A gap gauge is an excellent tool to keep with you as you work on installations, fittings and repairs. It helps give you an extra level of peace of mind when it comes to installing your fittings, as you can more confident that the work you’re doing is secure, stable and completely tightened.The question of whether or not they’re necessary is a difficult question to answer. Web/wide gap sensor—Wide gap sensors detect or measure large breaks, voids or gaps in web, sheet, or panel applications. Transmitted or reflected light is often used to detect large gaps in webs or spacing between panels.

Measurement range – represents the mix/max values of the dimensions that the snap gauge can be used, As a rule, the smaller the measuring range, the higher the performance.Gap Inspection Gauges: These are some of the most traditional designs you’ll find available — they look like small roughly rectangular shapes with prongs coming off the sides. Some models feature two and three measuring gaps while others feature up to four. Both perform the same task. Additionally, you may also come across gap gauges shaped more like a horseshoe and constructed of metal. These do the same work, even though they look much different. Snap gauges are usually go/no-go gauges. This means that a single gauge has the capability to assess both the upper tolerance limit on the dimensional parameter being measured as well as the lower tolerance limit. In the typical fixed snap gauge, the jaws of the unit have two different measurement widths. The go gauge is set to the high limit of the shaft or part dimension and the no-go dimension is set to the lower or minimum limit value. To use the gauge to evaluate a part, the user places the part into the frame of the tool and first assesses if the part will enter the go range section (which is the larger of the two sections. If the part passes into the go range, it means that the part’s dimension (such as its diameter) is within the upper limit of the part’s tolerance and is ready to be evaluated against the no-go section. For a part to be accepted, it must not pass through the opening in the gauge for the no-go section. If it will not pass through that section, then the part’s lower tolerance on its measured dimension has also been satisfied, and the part can be accepted.
