Feeler Gauges are precision measuring tools used to check and set clearances or gaps between two parts. Made up of a set of thin, flexible steel blades of varying thicknesses, they are essential in automotive, engineering, and maintenance applications where exact spacing is critical.
Key Characteristics:
-
Variety of Blades: Supplied as a set with multiple thicknesses for versatile use.
-
High Accuracy: Each blade is precisely ground and marked for reliable measurements.
-
Durable Materials: Manufactured from hardened or stainless steel to resist wear and corrosion.
-
Compact Design: Foldable construction makes them easy to carry and store.
-
Versatile Application: Suitable for use in engines, machinery, and fine mechanical adjustments.
Common Uses:
-
Automotive: Checking spark plug gaps, valve clearances, and piston ring end gaps.
-
Engineering: Measuring slot widths, gear clearances, and mechanical tolerances.
-
Maintenance: Ensuring precise fit and alignment of parts in routine servicing.
