ABSTRACT:
A measuring apparatus for measuring the interference or height of semicylindrical articles such as shell-type half bearings or the like in which the articles to be measured are adapted to be disposed in a shape-conforming cavity of a bearing cap with one parting edge surface of the bearing being supported by the framework of the apparatus. A reciprocable gaging block incorporating a gaging surface is movable to and from a measuring position and a clearance position by means of a motor and cam carrier assembly which is biased toward the gaging block under a preselected load and the eccentric cam thereon effects an intermittent reciprocation of the gaging block to and from the measuring position. Biasing means are provided for continuously biasing the gaging block toward a nonmeasuring position. A probe is provided for sensing the interference or height of a bearing being measured in response to the disposition of the gaging surface relative to the bearing cap when the gage block is in the measuring position. The measuring apparatus is adapted for high-speed automatic operation employing integrated sensing and actuating members for effecting an automatic loading, unloading, measurement and distribution of the articles being measured.
