SKF 729865 A Feeler Gauge, 13 Blades

Use this feeler gauge from SKF to measure the internal clearance of a spherical roller bearing. It helps to make the adjustment of a bearing easier and more accurate for improved operation and performance. The 13 blades fold up into a small unit that you can easily carry in your pocket or toolbox and use in small spaces. This feeler gauge is able to accurately measure spaces as narrow as 0.03mm.

• Versatile with a wide measuring range of 0.03 to 0.3mm
• Foldable blades fit neatly into a protective steel enclosure when not in use
• Supplied with a plastic cover that keeps the gauge clean and dust-free
• Each blade individually marked for ease-of-use

• Marine industry
• Mining and minerals processing
• Packaging warehouses

The most common way of using a feeler gauge is the go-no-go technique, where you start with the thinnest blade and work your way up. When you reach a point where the shim won't fit into a gap or offers too much resistance, you've then determined the size of your gap, which is the measurement on the previous blade used.
