Mahr Inc. announced the launch of its newly updated MaraMeter 36B line of bench ID/OD gages, designed for measuring precision inside and outside diameters directly at the point of manufacture in industries such as bearing production. Created to withstand the rigorous demands of modern manufacturing environments, the enhanced 36B series offers improved configuration flexibility, compatibility with digital readouts, and simplified ordering, while preserving the rugged performance, accuracy, precision, and reliability that have defined the line for more than 75 years. 

The latest update modernizes the platform for today’s digital manufacturing landscape, simplifying the ordering process and enabling customers to easily select the best digital indicator for their specific application. The new 36B models maintain the same ranges and configurations as previous models, including 2-point measuring ID/OD bench gages for true diameter (36B-10 and 36B-20) and 3-point measuring ID/OD bench gages for parts with odd lobbing conditions (36B-9 and 36B-19). All four gages are supplied with a complete set of three jaws, equipped with adjustable contacts to accommodate various application heights. Optional contacts from Mahr’s 844T portable ID/OD are available for measuring ID/OD grooves or gear pitch diameters. 

Key features of the updated MaraMeter 36B line include: 

•    Easy-to-adjust jaws for setting diameter against a comparative master 

•    Adjustable retraction and gaging force 

•    Friction-free reed spring transfer mechanism for optimal repeatability 

•    Adjustable base for setting the gage at any angle for 0 to 90° operation by the user 

Additionally, the updated 36B models are sold without the integrated indicating readout. This allows users to configure the gage to meet their specific needs, via numerous readout options including Mahr Millimess dial and digital comparators as well as Marcator digital indicators. This modular approach provides a better application match while streamlining the ordering process, allowing for faster delivery from stocked inventories. 

"In today’s manufacturing environment, customers demand gages that can withstand the harsh environments at the point of manufacture. The Marameter 36B ID/OD bench gaging system has proven its effectiveness in meeting those requirements in both inspection rooms and shop-floor environments for decades," said Dr. Farzad Azimi, Precision Gage Product Manager at Mahr Inc. "The redesigned and upgraded Marameter 36B measuring systems offer more display flexibility and configuration options from stocked items, making gaging available when it's needed."
