ABSTRACT:
A gauging device for gauging tapered rollers or the like, comprising feeding means for feeding each roller to a gauging station, first and second lower knife edges or the like projecting upwardly at the gauging station for supporting each roller, an end knife edge or the like at the gauging station for engaging one end of the roller, and a gauging head having an upper knife edge or the like projecting downwardly at the gauging station for engaging an upper portion of the roller, the gauging head having biasing means for biasing the upper knife edge downwardly against the roller, and output or indicating means for producing an output corresponding precisely with the position of the upper knife edge. The feeding means may comprise a rotatable wheel having pockets therein for carrying the rollers to the gauging station. A chute may be provided to feed the rollers into the pockets in the wheel. The gauging device is preferably inclined so that each roller is biased by gravity against the end knife edge. Additional biasing means, such as a spring member, may be provided to bias each roller against the lower knife edges and the end knife edge. The knife edges preferably have convexly curved edges projecting into the path of each roller at the gauging station to facilitate the positive entry of each roller between the knife edges. The knife edge may be adjustable to provide for the gauging of rollers of various sizes.
