Height Gauges

Height gauges are essential measuring and marking tools used in machining and quality control to create precise reference points on workpieces and are used to check heights or surface alignment. They are commonly used in workshops and metrology labs for dimensional inspections and preparing parts before machining, often paired with granite surface plates.

These tools are critical in mechanical and industrial applications where precision and reliability are essential to ensure the quality of the final product. There are several types of height gauges, each designed for specific needs:

Analog height gauges feature a graduated scale and manual adjustment, offering a straightforward yet accurate method for measurement. Digital height gauges, with their electronic display, provide quicker and more accurate readings, often with fine height adjustment via a micrometric screw. Models equipped with dial indicators allow the detection of even the smallest height variations with great precision.

Some height gauges come with a handwheel, ensuring smooth movement and better control over the measuring tip, which helps improve repeatability in measurements. Double-column height gauges provide greater stability, reducing errors from bending or vibrations and offering higher accuracy.

For applications that require lightness and rigidity, carbon fiber height gauges are an excellent option. Compared to traditional steel models, they offer superior resistance to wear and maintain accuracy and stability, making them ideal for measuring larger heights. Many of these models also include micrometric fine height adjustment for precise readings.
