Balax 90534-000 Plug Thread Gage M1.00x0.250 Go

Product Description

The BALAX 90534-000 is a single-end Go plug thread gage manufactured from high speed tool steel with a bright finish. It is used to verify the pitch diameter of M1.00x0.250 metric threads, confirming that a threaded feature meets minimum acceptance criteria. The Go pitch diameter measures 0.033 inches (0.83 mm), and the overall length is 1.625 inches. This gage does not include a handle and is intended for use with a standard gage handle appropriate to its diameter class. Machinists, quality control inspectors, and precision manufacturing technicians use this tool during in-process and final inspection of small metric threaded components.

This gage is suited for inspection of fine-pitch metric threads in precision manufacturing environments, including medical device, electronics, and instrumentation applications where M1.00x0.250 threads appear on small fasteners, inserts, or threaded bores. It is used at the point of manufacture or incoming inspection to confirm that threads will accept a mating fastener without interference. A handle is purchased separately and must be sized to fit the gage wire diameter.

Key Features

• Go configuration confirms minimum pitch diameter acceptance on M1.00x0.250 metric threads
• Go pitch diameter of 0.033 inches (0.83 mm) per metric thread standards
• Manufactured from high speed tool steel for wear resistance on hardened and unhardened workpieces
• Bright finish with no coating buildup that could affect dimensional accuracy
• Single-end design for straightforward Go inspection without a No-Go member on the same body
• Overall length of 1.625 inches fits standard small-diameter gage handles

Compatibility

Designed for use with M1.00x0.250 metric threaded features and compatible with standard gage handles sized for this wire diameter class. No specific compatible model numbers were provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

This gage is handled by a qualified inspector or machinist and requires a separately sourced handle sized to the gage wire. Ensure the workpiece and gage are clean and free of chips or coolant before inspection, as contamination will produce false readings. Do not force the Go member through a thread; firm hand pressure only. Store the gage in a protective case away from other tooling to prevent damage to the precision ground surfaces.
