Limit thread plug gauge M42 × 1 mm — right-hand metric ISO fine thread, hardened gauge steel

The Limit thread plug gauge M42 × 1 mm is a right-hand go/no-go gauge designed for rapid verification of metric ISO fine threads in production and incoming inspection, ensuring compliance with DIN 13 tolerance class 6H.

• Metric ISO fine thread M42 × 1
• Manufactured to DIN 13 tolerance class 6H
• Hardened gauge steel for long service life
• Right-hand thread, go/no-go verification

Fast, unequivocal thread checking on the shop floor

A compact limit gauge provides an immediate pass/fail verdict, speeding up inspection cycles and reducing downtime. The hardened gauge steel body resists wear and maintains form over repeated use, which means fewer replacements and a lower total cost of ownership. Conformity to DIN 13 and the 6H tolerance class ensures that thread forms are checked against a recognised standard, providing reliable evidence for quality control records and reducing uncertainty during assembly operations.

Built for repeatability and low maintenance

The go/no-go principle implemented in this plug gauge removes subjectivity from thread inspection: the "go" end verifies correct major diameter and pitch fit, while the "no-go" end detects oversize or out-of-tolerance threads. The result is consistent, repeatable decision-making at the machine or inspection bench. Constructed from hardened gauge steel, the tool resists deformation and abrasion, preserving calibration between checks and supporting continual process control without frequent recalibration cycles.

Integrating the gauge into quality workflows

A limit thread plug gauge suits production environments where quick verification is needed at several points in the value chain, from machining centres to final inspection. Traceable inspection results can be recorded alongside batch numbers to support corrective actions and supplier control. Using a dedicated go/no-go gauge reduces rework and customer returns by catching deviations early, supporting lean manufacturing objectives and improving first-pass yield.

FAQ

What is checked with this limit thread plug gauge?
The limit thread plug gauge checks the form and size of metric ISO fine threads; the M42 × 1 mm gauge verifies conformity to DIN 13, tolerance class 6H using a go/no-go method.

Is the gauge suitable for production use on the shop floor?
Yes, the hardened gauge steel construction of the M42 × 1 mm plug gauge is designed for regular use in production and inspection environments where rapid thread verification is required.

Which standards does the gauge comply with?
This plug gauge is manufactured to meet DIN 13 requirements and the tolerance class 6H, ensuring standardised thread acceptance criteria.

How is wear managed and how long does the gauge last?
Wear is minimised by the hardened gauge steel material; regular inspection intervals and proper handling prolong service life and maintain reliable go/no-go performance.

Can this gauge detect thread pitch errors as well as diameter issues?
The go/no-go ends assess both major diameter and effective engagement; significant pitch or flank form errors that prevent proper engagement will be indicated by a no-go result.
