Dimensional Air Gages: Fast, Accurate, Cost-Effective Inspection to meet your production gaging requirements.
Western Gage Corporation has been manufacturing dimensional air gages to assure the quality of your precision parts since 1968. Our products are proudly made in the U.S.A. at our Camarillo, California facility.
At Western Gage, we focus on air and electronic dimensional air gages that, with a minimum amount of operator skill, provide fast, accurate and cost-effective measurements of parts in production shop floor environments.
For fast and accurate measurement of internal and external diameters , consider using one of our dimensional air gages. We’ve designed and manufactured dimensional air gages for over 50 years and know what works well and what doesn’t. Dimensional air gage ranges are limited so they’re not for every application, but for high-volume, tight tolerance parts – There is nothing better!

Air Gage Readouts
Air Gage Readouts
Readouts for fast, accurate gages are where we excel with our microprocessor-based instruments. Versatile Micro IIi readouts have both bar graph and digital displays, incorporate RS-232 serial and USB outputs, and can handle up to four inputs. More complex gaging applications utilize Western’s model AEK II air-electric converters coupled to PC computer or Western Gage Corporation’s W-400 displays.
Air Probes
Gages For Internal Diameters
Air Probes or Air Spindles measure tight tolerance internal diameters (I.D.). Shallow or deep bores & blind or thru-holes can be measured in diameters ranging from .059” to over 8.260”. For most applications, practical air gaging ranges to .006” or less. Perfect for fast, easy, low-cost, non-contact & accurate ID measurements for in process or final inspection.
Air Rings
Gages For External Diameters
Air Rings measure tight tolerance outside diameters (O.D.). Available in center-type rings with jets at the center of the ring body or shoulder type rings with the jets near the edge of the ring body to measure to the ends of your work piece. Simply slide the ring over the part to measure O.D. or roundness. Available with 2-Jets for standard O.D. or 3-Jets that check for the 3-lobe out-of-round conditions prevalent in centerless ground parts.
Setting Masters
Setting Masters
Obtaining precise quantitative dimensional data requires the use of the air gage readout instrument and a gaging member to be mastered with setting masters or set discs. Western’s master rings, plugs and discs are fabricated from heat-treated and stabilized alloy steel blanks conforming to Gage Design standard A.N.S.I. B47.1.
