DESCRIPTION OF MAIN PARTS Chapter 1 - DESCRIPTION OF MAIN PARTS Thanks to the extreme flexibility of the MBG bore gauge, it is possible to achieve the configuration that is most suitable to any individual requirement. The graphic representation below identifies the main parts of the bore gauge, which will be analyzed in detail further on.
PENCIL PROBE The operations sequence varies according to the model purchased: a) Bore gauge WITH Marposs pencil probe (or compatible) mechanically installed and zero set (follow SET-UP A procedure) b) Bore gauge WITHOUT pencil probe installed (follow SET-UP B procedure) SET-UP A 1.
ASSEMBLY AND ZERO SETTING OF INDICATOR 9. Manually screw the ring nut “C” until its stopped, trying to maintain the zero-setting. Firmly apply the 13mm A/F wrench to threaded connection “E”, and then lock the ring nut “C” by means of the 16mm A/F wrench (see fig. 7). 10.
ZERO SETTING OF INDICATOR MARPOSS MECHANICAL/ELECTRONIC INDICATORS In order to complete the bore gauge, it is necessary to assemble the display dial and to follow the quick set-up procedure described below, which is suitable only for indicators with Marposs characteristics.
QUICK DIGIT: Push the RESET button to zero the indicator. NON-MARPOSS INDICATORS Many indicator models are available on the market, so it is difficult to determine a set- up procedure that can meet all needs. Table 1 shows the maximum indicator specifications with which the procedure described above can be followed.
The plug gauge is the basic element of the bore gauge, because it contains all the movement-transduction technology. It is supplied completely assembled (see Fig. 1), calibrated and tested at the Marposs center. Figure 2 shows all the components that form the plug gauge and that can be replaced in case of wear.
REPLACEMENT OF PARTS AND COMPONENTS 3.1.1 REPLACEMENT OF PLUG GAUGE RANGE 3-7,5 RANGE 7,5-9,5 RANGE 9,5-300 The plug gauge can be replaced if its components are worn out, or if a retooling is required in order to measure a different diameter. For retooling procedures it is important to consider that the size of thread “M”...

REPLACEMENT OF PARTS AND COMPONENTS ASSEMBLY OF PLUG GAUGE “1” ATTENTION In case of substitution of the plug gauge with one of bigger diameter, make sure that the stem does not compress the sensor so as to reach the limit stop. This circumstance may demage both the sensor and the plug gauge.
REPLACEMENT OF PARTS AND COMPONENTS 3.1.2 CAP REMOVAL “A” The cap is a component always supplied with the plug gauge and/or complete application. Its function is to preserve the mechanical elements inside the plug gauge from the penetration of coarse solid matter such as chips. The cap can be removed in order to clean the mechanical transduction assembly and/ or to replace some components within the plug gauge.

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES FOR DEPTH EXTENSION, DIAMETER 15 mm 1. Disassemble the depth extension from the handle (or the plug gauge from the depth extension) (see fig. 1). 2. Insert the depth stop in the depth extension and lock it at the desired height A (*), by screwing the M5 dowel by means of the 2.5 mm hexagonal-end wrench (see Fig.
OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES 4.3.2 ASSEMBLY OF NOSEPIECES DEPTH STOPS This model is directly fitted on the outside diameter of the nosepiece and attached to it (see Fig. 1). It is adjusted to the diameter of the nosepiece. 1. Insert the depth stop in the nosepiece and set it at the required height A; this value varies according to the depth in which the measurement needs to be detected (see Fig.
OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES 4.4 HOOKS In bore gauges with pencil probe holder it is possible to fit an eye (see Fig. 1), in order to make it possible to hang the appliance to a hook, avoiding the presence of the cable on the worktable. ASSEMBLY 1.
OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES 4.5 DEPTH EXTENSIONS M10 X 0,75 The depth extensions (see Fig. 1) make it possible to reach measuring depths up to 13 A/F 500 mm and even more, if they are connected in cascade. Fig. 1 shows the three manufactured models, in order to comply with the most operating M6X 0,75 needs.
OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES 4.6 ROTARY SPACER The rotary spacer (see Fig. 1) allows to perform dynamic measurements while keeping the indicator constantly facing the operator. M6 x 0,75 M10 x 1 NOTE M10 x 1 the table in Fig. 1 will help you in the assembly, indicating the size of the wrenches to be used and the connection threads.
