Edmunds Air Gages makes complete, integrated air gaging systems: amplifiers, tooling, setting masters, connectors and accessories. The Edmunds Gages Air gaging is a two master solution assuring linearity and accuracy.

The adjustable magnification of the Edmunds Gages Air back-pressure bleed system makes adaptability to many applications effortless within broad ranges of tolerance.

  • Inside and Outside Diameters: Edmunds Air Plugs and Edmunds Air Rings are most commonly used for measuring the size and form of inside diameters and outside diameters. Two nozzle air plugs, with nozzles diametrically opposed, are often used for internal measuring, and two-nozzle air rings are used for external dimensions.
  • Averaging : Multiple nozzles are equally located about the circumference of the air tool to allow for average size measurement. Commonly used for thin-walled or out-of-round parts – four, six, or more nozzles are utilized, depending on the tool size.
  • 3-Point Out-of-Round (Lobing) Out-of-Round: Air tools can gage a part for roundness. For two-point out-of round conditions, a standard two-nozzle air tool can be used. If lobing exists in the part, an odd number of nozzles must be used, depending on the number of lobes
  • Straightness A common application of air gaging is to dynamically measure the straightness or “bow of an inside diameter. In this case, a custom designed air plug makes verifying a part’s straightness simple and fast. (A straightness air plug cannot measure diameter).
  • Squareness to determine squareness of a part, for example a bore to a face, air nozzles configured as a “z are used with dynamic measurement to change the back-pressure from square to outof-square conditions.
  • Taper Angle variation of tapered surfaces is commonly checked with air gaging as the difference of two diameters.
  • Flatness To measure flatness, an air nozzle is mounted within a stationary platen. The part is then moved across  the nozzle. This process provides a convenient, quick method to accurately gage flatness.
  • Matching A specified clearance between two mating parts is often required to assure proper part operation. The Edmunds AccuSetter amplifier allows for the individual display of the bore size, the shaft size, and the clearance between the two parts. Operators need only observe the clearance display to determine if the two components have the required match dimension.

Edmunds Gages Air Plugs and Air Rings are advanced metrology tools designed for measuring the internal and external diameters of parts. They are used in high-precision industries such as automotive, aerospace, and medical device manufacturing. These air gages help measure parts with high accuracy. They offer tight tolerances and dimensional integrity in components such as shafts, bores, and other cylindrical surfaces.

Air gaging technology works by using compressed air directed through nozzles that are positioned around the part. The change in air pressure, as the nozzle moves closer to or further from the surface, is used to measure dimensional variations. This non-contact method allows for fast and accurate measurements without damaging sensitive parts.

Air plugs are typically used for measuring internal diameters, such as inside the holes of parts. Meanwhile, air rings are designed for measuring external diameters. Both tools use air nozzles to detect dimensional changes and can be used in various applications requiring precise measurements.

Yes, Edmunds Air Gages can measure a variety of other dimensions, including taper, roundness, straightness, squareness, and flatness. For example, a specialized air plug can measure the straightness or “bow” of a bore. On the other hand, an air ring can verify the squareness of a bore to a face.

The adjustable magnification feature in Edmunds Gages Air Plugs and Air Rings allows users to tailor the system to a wide range of tolerance applications. This versatility makes the tools adaptable to various sizes and conditions, including those requiring fine-tuned measurements for thin-walled or out-of-round parts.

Edmunds Gages are widely used across many industries, including automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing, where precise dimensional measurements are critical. These industries rely on air gaging for quality control of components such as engine parts, bearings, and medical devices.

Edmunds Gages offer high precision with measurements often reaching sub-micron accuracy. The system provides fast, repeatable results. This makes it ideal for high-volume production environments that require consistent, reliable measurements.

The AccuSetter amplifier is a key component in the Edmunds Air Gaging system that helps users easily check clearance between mating parts. It allows operators to monitor the bore size, shaft size, and clearance between parts, providing a quick way to confirm that components meet required specifications.

Yes, Edmunds Gages Air Plugs and Air Rings can be customized to meet specific measurement requirements. Willrich Precision offers tailored solutions for unique applications, such as gun barrel inspection, oil industry gaging, and other custom designs to suit a variety of industrial needs.

Selecting the appropriate air gage depends on factors such as the type of measurement (internal vs. external), tolerance range, and specific part geometry. Willrich Precision provides expert guidance to help you choose the best air plug or ring for your particular application. We help you guarantee compatibility with the desired system and specifications.
