BEI Electronics LLC Delivers Precision with New Steel Gage Blocks – Ensuring Accuracy Across Industries

QUINCY, IL – October 26, 2023 – BEI Electronics LLC, a leading provider of precision measurement solutions, today announced the availability of its new line of steel gage blocks. Built at their Quincy, Illinois facility (4100 N 24TH ST, QUINCY, IL, 62305, UNITED STATES – contactable at 412-272-4893), these gage blocks are designed to provide exceptional accuracy and durability for a wide range of metrology applications. For years, BEI Electronics has been a trusted name in providing quality components and specialized engineering services. We're not just about building things; we're about solving problems and making sure our customers have the right tools to get the job done right. And that's exactly what these new steel gage blocks are about. What are Gage Blocks, and Why Should You Care? Okay, so you might be thinking, “Gage blocks? Sounds kinda… technical.” And you're not wrong! But they're surprisingly important. Simply put, gage blocks are super-precise blocks used as standards for length. They're the go-to tool for calibrating measurement instruments – everything from micrometers and calipers to coordinate measuring machines (CMMs). Think about it: if you’re building something that needs to be exactly the right size – a critical part for an airplane engine, a medical device, a high-precision manufacturing tool – you need to be able to trust your measurements. That’s where gage blocks come in. They provide a known, reliable standard to ensure everything else is accurate. BEI’s Steel Gage Blocks: Built to Last, Designed for Precision These aren't your run-of-the-mill gage blocks. We’ve put a lot of thought and engineering into these to deliver a product that really stands out. Here’s what sets BEI’s steel gage blocks apart: High-Quality Steel: We use only premium-grade tool steel. This isn't some flimsy material; it’s tough, durable, and incredibly stable, meaning it won't warp or change size over time. We're talking about a material that can handle the rigors of daily use in a demanding shop environment. Precision Ground & Lapped: Each block is meticulously ground and lapped to incredibly tight tolerances. We’re talking about accuracies down to a few millionths of an inch! This ensures that the blocks are perfectly flat and parallel, giving you the most accurate measurements possible. It’s a slow process, but it's essential for achieving the highest levels of precision. Wide Range of Sizes: We offer gage blocks in a huge variety of sizes, from tiny fractional inch blocks to larger metric blocks. Whether you're working with millimeters, inches, or a mix of both, we’ve got you covered. We can even handle custom sizes – just give us a call! Rockwell Hardness: Our steel gage blocks undergo a rigorous Rockwell hardness testing to ensure stability and longevity. The hardness is typically around RC60-62, providing excellent wear resistance and dimensional stability. Superior Surface Finish: The surface finish of our gage blocks is carefully controlled to minimize friction and ensure accurate contact with measuring instruments. This also helps prevent sticking and corrosion. Complete Sets Available: We offer complete sets of gage blocks, conveniently packaged and ready to use. These sets include a variety of sizes, allowing you to cover a wide range of measurement applications. Traceable Calibration Certificates: Every set of gage blocks comes with a NIST-traceable calibration certificate. This means that the blocks have been rigorously tested and certified to meet industry standards. You can be confident that your measurements are accurate and reliable. Who Benefits From BEI’s Steel Gage Blocks? These blocks aren't just for fancy labs. They’re useful in a ton of different industries and applications, including: Manufacturing: Ensuring the precision of machined parts, tooling, and assembly processes. If you’re building anything that needs to fit together exactly right, you need accurate standards. Quality Control: Verifying the dimensions of incoming materials and finished products. This helps ensure that everything meets your specifications and maintains consistent quality. Tool & Die Making: Setting up and calibrating tooling for precision machining. This is critical for creating accurate molds and dies. Aerospace: Maintaining the tight tolerances required for aircraft components. The aerospace industry demands the highest levels of accuracy and reliability. Automotive: Ensuring the precision of engine parts, transmission components, and other critical systems. Medical Device Manufacturing: Maintaining the precise dimensions of implants and other medical devices. Accuracy is paramount in this industry. Calibration Labs: Providing traceable standards for calibrating measurement instruments.
