Special Frame Configurations
When using large diameter gages, the part configuration, tooling, or fixturing can present obstacles that make part inspection impossible with standard frame gages. Below we have listed some typical frame configurations to help overcome these obstacles. Contact us for further details.
Hump Frame

- Donut Frame
- Click image to enlarge
This design can be used on the LDF, LDDF or the LDLTF to increase the rigidity of the vertical gaging shafts by extending the support castings up to 5.5" deeper. It is generally recommended to use this type of frame design if the gaging depth exceeds 6".
Donut Frame
This design can be used on LDF, LDDF, or LDLTF. The donut design permits the gage to completely encircle a large obstruction such as the part’s hub, case, clamp, or fixture setup. We offer standard castings with 7", 9" or 11" ID. Special size donut frames are also available. Prices are quoted upon request.

Bridge Frame
This design permits the gage frame to bridge over short center obstructions such as posts, clamps or raised contours. These castings extend and support gaging extension shafts in order to gain measuring rigidity. This raises the frame 2.75".
"C" Frame

- "C" Frame

LDC series "C" frame gages are used for applications where the gage cannot be placed directly over the part. The frame is intended to partially encircle the part and is "side loaded" during use. The "C" frame can be made from contoured aluminum, a lightweight honeycomb composite or it can be a weldment depending on the requirements of the application. Cam style (LDF), lever style (LDLT), or direct read type (LDD) transfer mechanisms can be used on this frame.
