Viggo A.kjaer 49991 Bearing Feeler Gauge

What is a Bearing Feeler Gauge?

A feeler gauge is a basic but important tool that is utilized to measure gap width or clearance between two components. Bearing feeler gauges are particularly used to assess the space between bearing races and the housing or shaft to guarantee proper fit and operation.

The Viggo A.kjaer 49991 is a high-precision feeler gauge made to handle the harsh conditions of industrial and marine applications. From verifying bearing tolerances to measuring shaft alignment, this tool will get the job done.

Key Features

Let’s dissect what makes this tool exceptional:

High-Quality Steel Blades: The gauge features hardened steel blades that resist bending and wear.

Variety of Blade Thicknesses: Features a broad selection of blade sizes to accommodate all standard measurements required in bearing applications.

Easy Identification: Each blade is marked with its measurement, allowing easy identification of the right size at a glance.

Compact and Portable: All blades fold up into a compact handle for storage and use on the go.

Corrosion Resistant: Constructed to withstand rust, particularly in marine and industrial environments where moisture is a factor.

Consistent Accuracy: Made with close tolerances to provide accurate gap measurement each time.

Applications

The Viggo A.kjaer 49991 Bearing Feeler Gauge is relied upon in many industries because of its accuracy and heavy-duty build. Some of its usual applications are:

Marine Equipment Repair: Ideal for ship repairs, particularly when checking bearings in engines and rotating equipment.

Mechanical Assembly: Assembles parts with the proper clearances to prevent premature wear.

Automotive and Rail: Applied when installing brake pads, adjusting valves, and inspecting bearings.

Power Plants and Refineries: Assists in verifying alignment and tolerances in turbines, pumps, and compressors.

General Maintenance and Overhauls: Whether it’s a routine maintenance inspection or a system overhaul, a feeler gauge is an essential tool.

Why Precision Matters

Misaligned bearing clearances can cause vibration, undue noise, heat buildup, and eventually, machine failure. With the aid of a high accuracy tool such as the Viggo A.kjaer 49991, technicians will be able to identify and adjust such imbalances early on, maximizing operational efficiency and minimizing downtime.
