Support the part.
Select the main-roller geometry that correctly supports the available cylindrical surfaces while providing the clearance required around shoulders, steps, or adjacent features.

What is the E-10?
A purpose-built E-Series roller-checking configuration.
The Universal Punch E-10 is the small-diameter E-Series model in the Universal Concentricity Gaging System. Unlike a basic extended gage configuration, Universal Punch identifies the E-10 specifically as an Eccentric Roller Checker Gage with a Vertical Roller Carrier.
The Universal Concentricity Gaging System is configured around three primary decisions: select the gage model, select the main rollers, then select the indicator and/or accessories. That modular approach allows the E-10 to be matched to the actual support surfaces, feature location, and inspection requirement instead of forcing the part into a generic fixture.
When to choose E-10
Choose the E-10 when the part falls within the small-diameter -10 class and the inspection requires
the E-Series Eccentric Roller Checker arrangement with a Vertical Roller Carrier. If the application
could also fit a B-10, select by inspection architecture—not diameter alone.

Engineering note:
Diameter and length determine the basic model class. The correct E-10 inspection configuration must also account for
support lands, adjacent shoulders or features, roller geometry, indicator access, and the characteristic being evaluated.
How the E-10 Inspection Process Works
A clear, controlled sequence from part support to indicator reading.
The E-10 combines the E-Series Vertical Roller Carrier with Universal Punch's modular concentricity-gaging architecture. The inspection setup is built around the part, the support surfaces, the measurement location, and the variation that needs to be evaluated.
Stabilize the setup.
Use the adjustable top-arm yoke and the E-Series Vertical Roller Carrier arrangement to establish a controlled inspection setup around the workpiece.
Position the indicator.
Set the indicator probe at the required inspection feature and use fine adjustment to establish the measurement position and zero before rotation.
Rotate and observe variation.
Rotate the part smoothly with the standard timing-belt drive while the indicator monitors dimensional variation through the inspection cycle.
Why this matters
The E-10 is a configurable inspection system, not a one-size-fits-all fixture. Model size establishes the basic capacity; roller support, carrier arrangement, indicator position, and accessories determine how the gage is configured for the actual part.
E-10 Application Engineering
Start with the part—not a catalog number.
Send Universal Punch the part drawing and inspection requirement. Application engineering can review the part size, support surfaces, feature being inspected, roller geometry, vertical carrier arrangement, and indicator access before the E-10 configuration is quoted.
01
Part Size
Confirm the part diameter and overall length to establish whether the E-10 falls within the required size class.
02
Support Surfaces
Identify the cylindrical surfaces that can support the part during rotation, including shoulders, steps, and limited support lands.
03
Feature Being Inspected
Show the feature to be checked, its datum relationship, and the location where variation must be observed.
04
Roller & Indicator Setup
Match main-roller geometry, top contact, vertical carrier position, and indicator access to the actual inspection task.
-10 Main Roller Options
Match the support geometry to the component.
The Universal Punch -10 roller family includes plain, Zero Style, Thin Zero, and special configurations. The correct selection depends on support lands, shoulders, restricted clearance, and where the indicator must contact the part.
110-10FP
Full Plain Rollers
Broad plain support for cylindrical surfaces where full roller contact is appropriate.
110-10HP
Half Plain Rollers
Reduced-width support where additional clearance is needed near shoulders or adjacent features.
110-10QP
Quarter Plain Rollers
Narrower support geometry for applications requiring localized contact or additional access.
110-10FZ / HZ / QZ
Zero Style Rollers
Zero Style variations provide alternate contact geometry for applicable small-diameter and feature-clearance applications.
110-10TZ
Thin Zero Rollers
Thin Zero geometry is available within the -10 roller family for restricted support and clearance conditions.
SPECIAL
Special Roller Configurations
Application-specific roller and top-contact arrangements can be reviewed when standard geometry does not fit the part.
Need roller guidance?
Send the actual part print. Universal Punch can review support lands, shoulders, interrupted surfaces,
required clearance, and indicator location before the roller configuration is specified.
E-10 vs. B-10 Concentricity Gages
Same size class. Different inspection configuration.
The B-10 and E-10 occupy the same small-diameter model class, so diameter alone does not determine the correct gage. Universal Punch's selection documentation distinguishes them by gage architecture and carrier configuration.

Model-selection guidance:
do not choose between B-10 and E-10 by diameter alone. Both occupy the small-diameter class.
Choose the architecture that matches the inspection requirement, carrier arrangement, support geometry,
and indicator access required by the part.

E-10 Engineering FAQ
E-10 selection, configuration, and application questions.
These answers address the questions an engineer, quality team, or buyer is most likely to need resolved before selecting an E-10. For final configuration, send Universal Punch the part print and inspection requirement.
What is the Universal Punch E-10 Concentricity Gage?
The E-10 is the small-diameter E-Series model in the Universal Concentricity Gaging System. Universal Punch identifies it as an Eccentric Roller Checker Gage with a Vertical Roller Carrier.
What size parts can the E-10 inspect?
The E-10 is in the 1/8 in to 1 in small-diameter class and supports part lengths up to 4 in (102 mm).
What is the difference between the E-10 and B-10?
Both are in the small-diameter -10 class. The B-10 is the Basic Extended Gage with a Standard Carrier, while the E-10 is the Eccentric Roller Checker Gage with a Vertical Roller Carrier. Model selection should therefore be based on the inspection arrangement, not diameter alone.
What roller options are available for the E-10?
The -10 roller family includes Full Plain, Half Plain, Quarter Plain, Full/Half/Quarter Zero Style, Thin Zero, and special roller configurations. Final selection depends on the actual support surfaces, feature clearance, and inspection location.
Can the E-10 be motorized?
Yes. Universal Punch documentation identifies an E-10 variable-speed motor assembly with a 15 in (381 mm) base plate. Manual timing-belt rotation remains the standard system architecture.
What accuracy classifications are available?
Universal Punch documentation identifies Standard Black gages as guaranteed better than or equal to 4 microns accuracy, and Precision Gold classifications for applicable -10 and -20 configurations as guaranteed better than or equal to 2 microns. Confirm the current E-10 classification and calibration requirement when requesting a quote.
How do I configure an E-10 for my part?
Start with the gage model, then select the main rollers, then select the indicator and accessories. Send Universal Punch the part print so support surfaces, roller geometry, indicator position, and the feature being inspected can be reviewed together.
E-10 Application Review
Send the part print. Universal Punch will help configure the E-10.
Include the part diameter, overall length, support surfaces, feature being inspected, datum relationship, indicator location, and required accuracy. Universal Punch can review model fit, roller geometry, Vertical Roller Carrier setup, indicator/accessory selection, and drive requirements before the E-10 is quoted.
