Gage Assembly’s Specialty Thread Gages
Gage Assembly manufactures high-quality gages with accuracy and precision. Our skilled team utilizes cutting-edge technology to create custom solutions to meet the specific demands of an application, often with short lead times. Our skilled fabrication capabilities include state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment, such as Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machinery and internal/external high-precision thread grinding machines.
At Gage Assembly, we manufacture our custom thread gages according to the following ANSI thread series designations:
- ACME
- Aeronautical National Pipe Taper (ANPT)
- British Standard Whitworth (BSW)
- Buttress
- Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN)
- Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS)
- Metric
- National Hose (NH)
- National Pipe Straight Mechanical (NPSM)
- National Pipe Thread (NPT)
- Unified Miniature Screw (UNM)
- Unified (UN)
- Unified Special (UNS)
Our ability to engineer each solution to fit a specific process and application results in better-quality products and a more accurate functional thread check of threaded components, making it easier to determine if the threaded component of the part is in or out of tolerance.
Custom and Special Thread Gage Applications
Gage Assembly can provide various types of ring thread gages and fixed limit plugs, and can use customer-supplied prints and drawings to create tailor-made gages. This includes building thread gages with special thread dimensions, including modified leads, angles, pitch diameters, and other unique requirements.
Some common applications that rely on us to provide top-quality custom thread gages include:
- Automotive. Thread gages ensure parts conform to industry-approved specifications, which is essential in component and engine assembly in the automotive industry.
- Aerospace. Thread gages are crucial in aerospace applications, where precision is paramount for safety-critical components.
- Construction. In construction applications, thread gages verify threaded holes and fasteners are compatible. They are also used to ensure threading is correct in pipe and fitting installations.
- Manufacturing. Thread gages play a key role in quality control, setup, and tooling verification. Manufacturers often utilize thread gages for maintenance and repair purposes, assessing worn threads and making critical decisions regarding replacement parts.
- Medical. Accurate thread measurement is vital in the manufacturing of medical devices. Any deviation in thread dimensions, no matter how small, can impact the effectiveness of parts.
