Gimex 318.605 Feeler Gauge Strip 0.05mm x 5m

The Gimex 318.605 feeler gauge strip is a high-precision measuring instrument engineered for the accurate verification of gaps, clearances, and tight tolerances in mechanical systems. With a thickness of 0.05 mm and a generous length of 5 meters, this flexible steel strip provides consistent results for professionals working in industrial maintenance, engineering, and quality control environments. Its robust construction ensures durability and reliability, making it an essential tool for precise alignment and inspection tasks.

Advantages

This feeler gauge strip offers exceptional flexibility, allowing it to reach into narrow or difficult-to-access spaces where rigid gauges might fail. The high-quality steel material provides excellent resistance to wear and deformation, ensuring that the 0.05 mm thickness remains accurate over repeated use. Its long 5-meter format allows users to cut the strip to the exact length required for specific tasks, minimizing waste and providing a cost-effective solution for various measurement needs.

Suitable for

• Checking clearances in engine components and mechanical assemblies
• Verifying gap widths in industrial machinery
• Quality control inspections in manufacturing processes
• Setting precise tolerances during equipment maintenance

When it may not be suitable

This product is not intended for measuring gaps significantly larger than its 0.05 mm thickness, as it is designed for fine-tolerance verification. It should not be used in environments where the steel material may be subject to extreme chemical corrosion or high-temperature conditions that could alter the metal properties.

Key specifications

• Thickness: 0.05 mm
• Length: 5 meters
• Material: Flexible high-quality steel
• Application: Precision gap measurement

How to use

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

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 0.05 mm thickness is appropriate for your specific measurement requirements
• Ensure the environment is suitable for steel measuring tools
• Consider the need for a dispenser or storage container to keep the remaining strip protected

Usage recommendations

Always handle the strip with care to avoid kinking or bending, which can permanently affect the accuracy of the measurement. Keep the strip lightly oiled if storing for extended periods to maintain its condition.
