    Straightness

    The rod I am talking about is to check the alignment of 2 bearings 4 inches apart within .001in. The alignment rod feature numbers are already established.

    Straightness

    Is it posible to measure the straightness of a rod by chucking it in a lathe with an indicator in three different locations? I believe checking runout or total runout is not the same thing as straightness. I check a rods straightness on a surface plate with feeler gages, on a CMM, or on an...

    Feature control frame with basic dimension for coplanar surfaces?

    Dimensions are in mm. What would the tolerance be for the feature control frame "3.730 8x" dimension? The block tolerance on the print is +/- 0.125mm. I am told that the print block tolerance does not apply. I have never seen T.I.R in a feature control frame for flatness or parallelism with...

    Alignment gage for seperated cylinder diameters.

    Thanks for your response. Yes I realize the feature form must be considered as stated at the end of my inquiry. The first bore is .4375 +.0005/-.0000 the second bore is .4365 +.0005/-.0000. The print call out is "two holes must be inline with in .005 TIR". The bores are both 1.000 long and...

    Alignment gage for seperated cylinder diameters.

    I have an application where two seperated 1.000 x .475dia bored cylinders muct be within .005in TIR. The logical mechanical inspection technique would be to engage a snug fit gage pin into one of the cylinders and rotate the part on the gage pin with an indicator reading the other cylinder...
