Thread Measurement
Indispensable for reliable functioning
Threads are becoming extremely significant in industrial manufacturing technology. They fasten (in screws), move (in presses), convey (in Archimedes' screws), or seal (in pipe threads). To function smoothly and harmonize perfectly with other components, certain manufacturing tolerances must be complied with in the manufacture of the threads.
Important parameters in this regard are:
- outer diameter
- inner diameter
- pitch diameter
- partial pitch diameter
- pitch
- height
- straightness of the flanks
- radii in the thread roots
In-house manufacturing guarantees highest precision
These parameters are often measured with manual measuring devices. The more precisely these are manufactured, the more exactly they can register the manufacturing tolerances - which is decisive for the quality of the thread. Therefore, Feinmess Suhl manufactures its own manual measuring devices and the thread measuring inserts in its own workshops - at maximum production depth. This guarantees the highest level of precision.
