Helios Preisser 0611505 Feeler Gauge Strip 0.05 x 12.7 mm, 5 m length in plastic case

The Helios Preisser feeler gauge strip is a high-precision measuring instrument engineered for the accurate determination of clearances, gaps, and tolerances in mechanical assemblies. With a thickness of 0.05 mm and a width of 12.7 mm, this strip provides the reliability required for professional technical work. It is supplied in a convenient 5-meter roll, housed within a durable plastic case that protects the material from damage and contamination during storage and transport.

Advantages

This feeler gauge strip is manufactured from high-quality steel, ensuring excellent dimensional stability and resistance to wear during repeated use. The continuous 5-meter length allows users to cut precisely the amount of material needed for specific tasks, reducing waste and providing flexibility for various gap sizes. The included protective plastic case ensures that the strip remains clean and organized, maintaining its precision over an extended service life.

Suitable for

• Checking clearances in automotive engines and transmissions
• Measuring gaps in mechanical engineering and machine tool assembly
• Aligning components in industrial manufacturing processes
• Verifying tolerances in precision metalworking

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 applications. It may also be unsuitable for environments involving highly corrosive chemicals that could degrade the steel material if not properly maintained.

Key specifications

• Thickness: 0.05 mm
• Width: 12.7 mm
• Length: 5 meters
• Material: High-quality steel
• Packaging: Protective plastic case

How to use

To use the feeler gauge strip, pull the required length from the plastic case and cut it using appropriate metal shears. Insert the strip into the gap or clearance being measured. The fit should be snug but allow for movement without bending or deforming the strip. After use, wipe the strip clean with a dry cloth to remove any oils or debris before retracting or storing it.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 0.05 mm thickness meets your specific measurement requirements
• Ensure the 12.7 mm width is compatible with the access points of your machinery
• Consider the environment where the tool will be used to ensure the steel material is appropriate

Usage recommendations

Always handle the gauge strip with care to avoid kinks or creases, as any deformation can compromise the accuracy of your measurements. Keep the strip lightly oiled if storing for long periods to prevent oxidation.
