Annual 2.0 Overview Constructed from a combination of hard-wearing stainless steel and lightweight aluminium, the ABT5200 Sidecut Gauge is a compact solution to measuring side and headwear. The side and headwear are measured mechanically on a pair of linear stainless steel scales via a horizontal and vertical slide respectively. -

4.0 Getting Started When picking a measurement point, it is important to consider the following points as they can cause an inaccuracy; Location of welds or branding marks. Excess loose rust, dirt and grease. Once a suitable measuring position has been chosen, the gauge can be attached to the rails. - Page 4 Figure 2 shows the mating faces of the rail and the gauge. Once the magnets have adhered themselves to the faces on the rail, the gauge will hold itself in the measuring position, as shown in figure Figure 2 Figure 3 5200-1 Issue 04...
- Page 5 4.1 Measuring Sidewear The sidewear measurement is the amount of wear caused on the side of the profile by the contact of the wheel on the running rail. To measure the sidewear, ensure the gauge is fully in contact with the rail as shown previously then the horizontal measuring slide can be adjusted as shown in figure 4.
- Page 6 Figure 5 Figure 6 4.2 Measuring Headwear Headwear is the deterioration of the top of the profile as a result of the friction between moving wheel and the rail. To measure headwear, again ensure the gauge is fully in contact with the rail, please push the knob or the sliding mechanism directly and not the body of the gauge as this can cause the gauge lockup, then the vertical headwear slide can be adjusted until the...

5.0 Maintenance 5.1 User Advice The ABT5200 is a precise measurement equipment. Whilst it has been designed for use in an engineering environment, due care should be taken not to cause damage to the equipment when in operation, storage or transit. Excessive trauma to the moving parts of the gauge may invalidate the calibration and lead to possible measurement inaccuracies.
