Radius Gauge Mitutoyo 504-186-105 Concave Convex with Locking Clamp

Description

Product Overview

The Mitutoyo 504-186-105 radius gauge is a precision instrument designed for accurate measurement of both concave and convex radii. Constructed from high‑grade stainless steel, the gauge offers excellent corrosion resistance and long‑term durability, essential for demanding industrial environments. Each gauge is stamped with its radius size, allowing quick identification and reducing the chance of measurement errors. The integrated locking clamp secures the measuring heads in place, ensuring repeatable positioning during repeated inspections. With dimensions of 1.97 x 1.97 x 3.94 inches and a weight of just 2.68 ounces, the tool is compact enough to fit into tight workspaces while remaining robust enough for frequent use. Manufactured in Japan by Mitutoyo, a leader in metrology, the gauge reflects the company’s commitment to quality and precision engineering.

Usage

This radius gauge is ideally suited for a variety of applications across machining, quality control, and maintenance sectors. Machinists can employ it to verify the curvature of machined parts such as shafts, gears, and cam profiles, ensuring that tolerances are met before assembly. Quality inspectors use the gauge to perform spot checks on finished components, quickly confirming that the radius conforms to design specifications. Maintenance technicians find the tool valuable when assessing wear on equipment parts, such as bearing housings or tool edges, where changes in radius can indicate the need for replacement. The gauge’s lightweight design and ergonomic shape allow operators to hold it comfortably for extended periods, while the locking clamp eliminates the need for continuous readjustment, improving efficiency in high‑volume production settings.
