Sine Bars
Back to ProductsA sine bar is used in conjunction with slip gauge blocks for precise angular measurement. A sine bar is used either to measure an angle very accurately or face locate any work to a given angle offering a high degree of accuracy in measuring angles for milling, grinding and inspection applications.
The sine bar forms the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle, while the slip gauge blocks form the opposite side. The height of the slip gauge block is found by multiplying the sine of the desired angle by the length of the sine bar: H = L * sin(θ).
Opus Precision Sine bars are carefully manufactured from specially selected steel to the accuracy requirements of BS 3064:1978 – Type 2
Sizes available 100mm 200mm and 300mm
Every bar is made from high quality tool steel which is hardened to 62 Rc (750 Hv approximately), stress relieved and then stabilised.
Supplied complete with a UKAS Calibration Certificate Free of Charge
