Gage Balls and Ball Plug Gages are used to check: the size of a Radius, the Pitch diameter of screw threads/gears, the centerline dimension between holes, and to calibrate other inspection instruments.
Our Custom Precision Gage Balls are an excellent way to check bore diameters. Because of the line contact you can detect if the hole is barrel shape (large in the center), bellmouth (small in the center), or tapered.
Balls can be inserted into holes quickly because there are no alignment problems.
Ball Plug gages (gauges)- We commonly attach a stem to a ball for use as a plug gage.
Please feel free to contact us for assistance with your particular application.
