F-10
Concentricity Gage
The Universal Punch F-10 is the 3–25 mm F-Series Recess Fastener Checker Gage. It combines the compact -10 working envelope with Universal Punch's purpose-built Recess Checking Carrier for recess fastener inspection.
Built for compact recess fastener inspection.
The Universal Punch F-10 is a Recess Fastener Checker Concentricity Gage. Published F-10 general data covers part diameters from 1/8–1 in (3–25 mm) and part lengths up to 4 in (102 mm).
What separates the F-10 from other -10 models is its measurement architecture. The F-Series uses a Recess Checking Carrier, while other Universal Punch families may use a standard, vertical, side, shaft, or other carrier arrangement.
That distinction matters because model selection should start with the feature being inspected—not diameter alone. For a recess fastener application, Universal Punch reviews the part geometry, available support lands, recess form, measurement location, tolerance, and indicator access before the final system is specified.
Start with the F-10 when the workpiece fits the compact -10 envelope and the inspection calls for the F-Series recess-checking architecture. Final roller, probe, indicator, stop, and accessory selection should be confirmed from the actual print.
See the measurement system clearly.
The supporting photography is placed early so engineers, quality teams, and buyers can understand the F-10 architecture before moving deeper into specifications and configuration choices.
The size class and carrier architecture work together.
Universal Punch model names communicate two decisions at once: the family identifies the measurement architecture, while the numerical suffix identifies the working size class.
The F-Series is documented specifically as Universal Punch's Recess Fastener Checker Gage family.
The defining F-Series carrier architecture, selected around the actual recess-fastener inspection requirement.
The compact -10 class covers parts from 1/8–1 in diameter and up to 4 in / 102 mm long.
Model, rollers, indicator, probe, stops, and accessories are matched to the actual measurement objective.
F-10 specifications.
These published values define the F-10 working envelope. Final configured-system suitability should be confirmed against the part, support geometry, recess feature, indicator, and calibration requirement.
Model. Rollers. Indicator & accessories.
Universal Punch defines the Concentricity Gaging System around three primary selections. Keeping those decisions separate makes the F-10 easier to configure around the actual part instead of treating it as a one-configuration product.
Establish the F-Series recess-checking architecture and compact 3–25 mm / 1/8–1 in size class.
Choose the support geometry from the actual cylindrical lands, recess relationship, and measurement objective.
Match the indicator, contact, probe, stop arrangement, fine adjustment, and data requirements to the feature being checked.
Full Plain, Half Plain, Quarter Plain, Full Zero, Half Zero, Quarter Zero, and Thin Zero styles are documented for -10 models.
Universal Punch lists a 5/8 × 3/16 in (16 × 5 mm) top roller as standard for the -10 class, with additional top-roller and specialty options documented.
Configure the measurement around the feature.
Universal Punch documents several attachment and probe categories specifically for F-10 and F-20 recess-checking applications. These options allow the system to be matched to the recess geometry, measurement access, and inspection objective.
Final attachment and probe selection is based on the part geometry and measurement requirement. Availability and compatibility should be confirmed when the F-10 is quoted.
Choose the architecture, not just the size.
The F-10 and B-10 share the 3–25 mm size class, but they do not use the same carrier architecture. The F-20 shares the F-Series recess-checking architecture but serves the larger 10–50 mm class. This is why model selection should start with both the workpiece envelope and the measurement objective.
Send us your print. We'll help configure the F-10.
Every F-10 application starts with the actual part. Send Universal Punch the drawing and inspection requirement and our team can review the appropriate rollers, recess-checking attachment, indicator, stops, and accessories for the application.
