FeelerGauges

FeelerGauges, also known as feeler gauges, are thin, flat, spring-loaded measuring tools used to determine the gap between two surfaces. They are commonly used in engineering, manufacturing, and maintenance to measure clearances, tolerances, and wear in mechanical systems. FeelerGauges are typically made of hardened steel and come in a set of varying thicknesses, usually ranging from 0.001 inches to 0.250 inches (0.025 mm to 6.35 mm). The gauges are designed to bend slightly when placed between two surfaces, allowing the user to feel the thickness of the gap. This method provides a quick and accurate way to measure small gaps without the need for more complex instruments. FeelerGauges are widely used in applications such as engine assembly, bearing inspection, and general machinery maintenance. They are valued for their simplicity, portability, and reliability in various industrial settings.
