Roundness

Engineering determines how round a part needs to be. However it is metrology's job to verify if the specification has been met. The world is dependent on machines with rotating parts. We know that controlling roundness can improve performance. However the cost of a roundness machine can be expensive. If you don't have enough work to justify the cost there is no need to worry. A.A.

We are regularly in the greater Detroit Area and Northern Michigan. We have offices located in Waterford, and West Branch.

How does the wringing action occur between two gages?

Gage blocks "wring" together for two reasons. First, there is an adhesive action because of an ultra-thin film of oil or moisture between the blocks. Second, there is a molecular attraction, or bonding, between the blocks because of the very flat and parallel mating surfaces. Here is an article that goes more into detail.

Does A.A Jansson manufacture special size gage blocks?

Yes we do. We will manufacture gage blocks to your special requirements. Just provide a blue print detailing your specification and we will provide the gage block. Materials include but not limited to, steel, chrome plate, ceramic, chrome carbide, and tungsten carbide. Prices are quoted upon request.

Does A.A. Jansson serialize gage blocks and other types of gages?

We serialize gage blocks on a regular basis. We charge $1.50 per block and a $5.00 setup fee is applied for each different serial number. Other gages can be quoted upon request.

How do I choose a plug gage for my measurement application?

Keep in mind that a Go plug has a plus tolerance and is designed to gauge the smallest acceptable hole size, and a NoGo plug has a negative tolerance, designed to gauge the largest acceptable hole size. Subsequently a Go gage should be able to pass through the hole and a NoGo plug gauge should not. This is why they call it Go NoGo gauging. Others call it Fixed Limit Gauging. Here is an article that goes more into detail.
