2001 Gage Manufacturers
Buyers Guide

by Jesse Jones & Laurel Thoennes

Welcome to Quality Digest's 2001 Gage Manufacturers Buyers Guide, which features more than 175 gage manufacturers that produce a broad assortment of gages. We've attempted to simplify your search for these products with a matrix of 31 common gage types, from air gages to vacuum gages, plus a category for companies that design and build custom gages. Download the matix in PDF format by clicking here. You must have Acrobat reader to read a PDF file.

 Provided for each company listed is detailed contact information, including telephone and fax numbers and, in most cases, a Web address. Gage types that don't fit within our matrix categories are described in text blocks with their manufacturers' listings.

 To choose the right gage for your application, keep in mind these three factors: the manufacturing or end-product priorities vs. critical characteristics to be gaged, specified part-tolerance limits and characteristics to be gaged. For additional guidance, you may want to refer to Tom Stewart's April 1998 article "Selecting the Right Gage," which you can find at Quality Digest's Web site at www.qualitydigest.com/april98/html/rightgag.html .

 As with all Quality Digest buyers guides, the 2001 Gage Manufacturers Buyers Guide is intended to provide readers with helpful information. Only those companies that responded to our requests for information are listed. The products listed in this guide have been neither evaluated nor endorsed by Quality Digest.

 We hope that this buyers guide will help you with your gage-purchasing decision. If you have any questions or comments, please e-mail them to gages@qualitydigest.com .
