Description
Product details
A taper plug gauge is a precision measurement tool used to check the internal taper of a hole or a conical recess. It is designed to ensure that the internal surface of a tapered hole meets specified dimensional requirements. Taper plug gauges are commonly used in industries where precise taper angles are critical, such as in machining, tool and die making, and various manufacturing processes. Here are some key points about taper plug gauges: Design: Taper plug gauges typically consist of a tapered rod or plug with a specific angle that matches the required taper. The gauge is designed to fit into the tapered hole or recess being measured. Measurement Process: The taper plug gauge is inserted into the tapered hole. The fit of the gauge within the hole is assessed to determine if it meets the specified taper angle. Verification of Tolerance: Taper plug gauges are used to verify that the taper of the internal surface falls within acceptable tolerance limits. Applications: They are commonly used in applications where tapered holes need to be accurately machined, such as in the production of machine tool components, bearings, and various precision engineering applications. Material: Taper plug gauges are typically made from hardened and precision-ground steel to ensure accuracy and durability. Taper plug gauges play a crucial role in maintaining the quality and precision of machined components with tapered features. Like other types of gauges, they contribute to quality control processes by ensuring that the manufactured parts conform to the specified design and dimensional requirements.
