The CTA Plastigage Set (part number 2450CTA) provides a practical solution for clearance measurement in applications where a micrometer is not feasible or readily available. This 2-piece set is designed for business and IT buyers who require a straightforward method for assessing tolerances, particularly in machinery or component assembly and maintenance. It addresses the challenge of accurately measuring small clearances, such as bearing clearances, without the need for specialized precision tools. The Plastigage system offers a visual and reliable indication of clearance, enabling technicians and engineers to confirm specifications or diagnose potential issues efficiently. This set is suitable for organizations that perform in-house equipment maintenance or assembly and need a cost-effective, easy-to-use measurement tool.
The CTA Plastigage Set is primarily used for measuring clearances without the need for a micrometer. It is suitable for applications requiring an assessment of tolerances, such as bearing clearances, in machinery or component assembly and maintenance.
The CTA Plastigage Set is a 2-piece kit. It includes the necessary components for performing clearance measurements as described by the Plastigage method.
The Plastigage method involves placing a small strip of the material between two surfaces, then tightening them. The width to which the strip flattens indicates the clearance, which can then be compared against a provided scale.
The CTA Plastigage Set is designed for measuring without a micrometer, offering a practical solution for many clearance assessment needs. While it provides reliable indications, specific applications requiring extremely high precision might necessitate alternative measurement tools.
