Templates and probes

This section presents templates and probes manufactured by Microtech.

The templates are divided into several types:

Radius templates, Angle templates, and Thread templates.

Radius templates are used to measure the radii of product curves. These templates are made in the form of thin steel plates with convex or concave curves. Each template has numbers stamped on it indicating the radius size in mm. Radius templates are used to measure the radii of concave or convex curves in parts, such as the chamfers on crankshaft journals.

Sets of feeler gauges are used to measure the gap between parts. A feeler gauge is a set of plates of varying thicknesses, starting at 0.05 mm, arranged in order of increasing thickness. In essence, each plate has its own specific thickness. Feeler gauges are an indispensable tool for measuring between parts, for example, between the piston and the engine cylinder. A feeler gauge is ideal for adjusting valve clearance.
