Precision gage blocks are the primary standards vital to dimensional quality control in the manufacture of parts.

Accuracy

Mitutoyo gage blocks guarantee such a high accuracy that users can use them without anxiety. Mitutoyo has established a traceability system for our measurement products, up to the Metrology Management Center of the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), and we have been certified by the Japanese government as an accredited laboratory.

Wringing

The lapping technique is one of Mitutoyo’s specialties. Our advanced lapping technique, developed for more than a half century, allows us to achieve the best flatness and surface roughness needed for gage blocks.

CERA Blocks

CERA blocks, made of ceramic materials with superior surface quality, were developed by Mitutoyo’s ultra-precision machining techniques and solve problems commonly associated with steel gage blocks.

1. Corrosion-Resistant Anti-corrosion treatment is not required when handled normally (i.e. with fingers), resulting in simple maintenance and storage.
2. No Burrs Caused by Dents, etc. Since the CERA Block is very hard it will not scratch and is highly resistant to burrs. If a burr is formed, it can easily be removed with a ceramic deburring stone (Ceraston).
3. Abrasion Resistant CERA Blocks have 10 times the abrasion resistance of steel gage blocks.
4. Dimensional Stability CERA Blocks are free from dimensional change over time.
5. Marking The black characters, indicating the nominal length, are inscribed by laser and are clearly visible against the white surface of the block.
   
6. Anti-magnetic Nature Keeps Away Steel Powders
7. High Wringing Force An even, dense tissue can maintain a strong wringing force.
8. Material of CERA block
   
9. Closest Expansion Coefficient to Steel The thermal expansion coefficient of a CERA Block is similar to that of a steel gage block.
10. Highly Resistant Against Drops and Other Shocks The CERA block material is one of the toughest ceramics materials. It is extremely difficult to crack under normal use.
