Dial bore gauge is a precision measuring instrument used to measure the inside diameter of a hole, typically in the context of machining and engineering applications. It consists of a main body with a dial indicator mounted on one end. The opposite end has a set of anvils or measuring heads that can be adjusted to fit into the bore being measured.Mechanical dial bore gauges rely on mechanical components to provide measurements. They are sturdy, reliable, and suitable for various industrial applications.
How Dial Bore Gauges Work
Dial bore gauges consist of a main body with a measuring plunger, which extends into the bore being measured. As the plunger enters the hole, it moves a dial indicator, providing a reading of the bore diameter.
Advantages of Dial Bore Gauges
Dial bore gauges offer several advantages, including high accuracy, ease of use, and versatility. They can measure both through-holes and blind holes accurately.
Applications of Dial Bore Gauges
Dial bore gauges find applications across various industries, including the automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing sectors. They are used to measure engine cylinders, bearing housings, and other critical components.
