Gimex 318.602 Feeler Gauge Tape 0.02 mm x 5 m

The Gimex 318.602 feeler gauge tape is a precision measuring instrument engineered for the accurate determination of gaps and clearances in mechanical systems. Featuring a thickness of 0.02 mm and a total length of 5 meters, this high-quality steel tape provides the flexibility and reliability needed for demanding industrial applications. It serves as an indispensable tool for technicians and engineers who require consistent results when verifying tight tolerances in machinery, automotive components, and precision equipment.

Advantages

This feeler gauge tape offers exceptional durability and precision, ensuring that measurements remain accurate even under frequent use. The thin profile allows for easy insertion into extremely narrow spaces where standard measuring tools cannot reach. Its continuous length provides the versatility to cut the tape to the exact size required for specific tasks, reducing waste and increasing efficiency during maintenance or assembly processes. The material is resistant to wear, maintaining its structural integrity and thickness accuracy over time.

Suitable for

• Measuring narrow gaps in mechanical assemblies
• Verification of clearance in engine components
• Precision alignment of industrial machinery
• Quality control in manufacturing processes
• Setting tolerances for machine tool setups

When it may not be suitable

This tape is not intended for measuring large gaps or for applications requiring rigid measuring tools. It may also be unsuitable for environments involving highly corrosive substances that could degrade the steel material over time.

Key specifications

• Thickness: 0.02 mm
• Length: 5 meters
• Material: High-precision steel
• Flexibility: High

How to use

To use the feeler gauge tape, carefully cut a piece of the required length from the roll using appropriate metal shears. Insert the tape into the gap or clearance being measured. If the tape slides through with slight resistance, the gap corresponds to the thickness of the gauge. Ensure the surface is clean and free of debris before measurement to maintain accuracy. After use, wipe the tape with a clean cloth and store it in a dry place to prevent oxidation.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the 0.02 mm thickness is appropriate for your specific measurement requirements
• Verify that the material is compatible with the environment where it will be used
• Consider the need for additional cutting tools to prepare the tape

Usage recommendations

Always handle the tape with care to avoid kinking or bending, as deformation can affect the accuracy of the measurement. Keep the tape lightly oiled if storing for extended periods to prevent rust.
