ABSTRACT:
A gauge for measuring the size of a nip between a pair of rolls is characterized by a cylindrical carrier within which a platform is mounted for pivotal movement about the carrier axis. A transducer is carried on the platform, and a quasi U-shaped rod or probe is pivotally connected at one end with the platform, extends along a medial portion thereof outwardly of the carrier and presses against the transducer at an opposite end. The probe is pivotally urged in a direction outwardly of the carrier, and in use of the gauge the medial portion of the probe is moved into the nip between the rolls and against the rolls and the carrier into contact with the rolls, whereby the transducer provides a readout in accordance with the radii of the rolls at the point of contact by the probe. The gauge may be slid along the length of the rolls, thereby to measure small variations in the radii of the rolls along the lengths thereof, and therefore in the size of the nip and the pressures exerted on sheet material passed through the nip. Because of the quasi U-shape of the probe, the probe may easily be slid along the rolls, and the cylindrical carrier and pivotally mounted platform enables the gauge to be used with rolls having different diameters.
