Superbore anvils are made from Zirconia ceramic - an "advanced" ceramic which offers high strength, low coefficient of friction, better wear resistance than carbide, excellent abrasion resistance (1.5 x carbide), better corrosion resistance than carbide, coefficient expansion similar to steel, and it's non-magnetic.

The Bowers Gage Head threads onto the transducer/handle. Optional extensions in sizes 2 1/2" - 6" increase the measuring depth. The extensions can be connected to each other to further increase depth. Extensions can be used on heads above .236" diameter.

Features

• The system utilizes a 3-point contact system for sizes .236" (6mm) and up.
  A 2-point “split cylinder” system is used for .040" (1mm) through .236" (6mm) sizes.
• Sizes above .630" (16mm) are ceramic measuring anvils.
• Every head is serialized and includes a test certificate.
• Quick, one-hand operation is foolproof and allows even unskilled operators to measure and read clearly the exact size of the bore on the digital readout.
• The ample five-foot length cable allows use at the machine or an inspection center. If needed, an optional nine foot extension cable is also available.
• High accuracy/wide range transducers allow a much wider range per gage head—fewer gage heads and rings are needed to cover the total size range. No need for air or expensive sleeves.
• Choice of Digital Indication Units or Pistol Grip Handle.
• Resolution to .00001"(.0001mm).
• Preset facility allows measurements of either actual size or deviation from zero.
• Output signals from the Sylvac units connect with printers and computers.
• Direct RS232 available.
• Rugged, shockproof design allows use in the most rigorous shop environment.
• Sets in wooden cases are available for convenient tool crib storage.
• Blind bore capability on most sizes
  

By utilizing Sylvac D-80 or D-100 display units, additional components such as probe fixtures, external measuring devices and hand tools can be added for a complete inspection center. Up to 64 instruments can be connected at any time.
