Long feeler gauge 150mm 0.05-1.00 20 leaves din2275

Feeler Gauge, a precision tool used to measure gap widths or clearance between two parts, ensuring they fit or move together with the proper amount of space between them. This tool consists of a set of thin metal blades, each with a precise thickness, which can be used individually or in combination to measure small clearances in mechanical work, automotive repair, machining, and other precision tasks.

A feeler gauge is an essential tool for anyone involved in precision work, particularly in automotive repair, machining, and manufacturing. Its ability to accurately measure small gaps and clearances ensures that mechanical parts fit and function properly, reducing wear and improving performance. Compact, versatile, and precise, a feeler gauge is a must-have in any tool collection where accuracy is paramount.

Applications

1. Automotive Repair

   • Valve Clearance: Used to measure and adjust the clearance between the valve tappet and the valve stem in an engine, ensuring proper engine performance.
   • Spark Plugs: Used to check the gap between the electrodes of spark plugs, which is critical for proper ignition and engine efficiency.
   • Brake Components: Can be used to measure the gap between brake pads and rotors or other components in the braking system.

2. Machining and Manufacturing

   • Tool Setup: Used to set precise gaps between cutting tools and workpieces on lathes, milling machines, or other machining equipment.
   • Bearing Clearance: Measures the clearance between bearings and their housings, ensuring proper fit and function.
   • Surface Contact: Ensures that two surfaces are in proper contact with each other, or identifies the size of a gap that needs adjustment.

3. General Engineering

   • Mechanical Assembly: Ensures proper spacing between parts in mechanical assemblies, reducing wear and ensuring smooth operation.
   • Inspection and Quality Control: Used in quality control to verify that assembled parts have the correct clearance as specified by engineering designs.

4. Plumbing and HVAC

   • Gasket Installation: Ensures that gaskets are properly seated with the correct compression and clearance.
   • Pipe Fittings: Measures gaps in pipe fittings to ensure they are correctly aligned and sealed.
