What Is the F-20?

Built for medium-size recess fastener inspection.

The Universal Punch F-20 is a Recess Fastener Checker Concentricity Gage. Published F-20 general data covers part diameters from 3/8–2 in (10–50 mm) and part lengths up to 6 in (152 mm).

What separates the F-20 from other -20 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. The correct model is therefore selected from both the part size and the feature that must be inspected.

Model selection When should the F-20 be reviewed?

Review the F-20 when the workpiece falls within the -20 size class and the inspection objective is recess fastener checking. Universal Punch can then match the rollers, probe or attachment, indicator, stops, and accessories to the actual print.

Why Choose the F-20?

The size class and carrier architecture work together.

Universal Punch model families identify the measurement architecture; the numerical suffix identifies the capacity class. For the F-20, F-Series means Recess Fastener Checker and -20 means the 10–50 mm diameter class.

01 · Application Recess fastener inspection

The F-Series is the Universal Punch family documented for recess fastener checking.

02 · Carrier Recess Checking Carrier

The carrier architecture is the defining measurement distinction of the F-Series.

03 · Capacity 10–50 mm diameter

Published for 3/8–2 in diameter parts and lengths up to 6 in / 152 mm.

04 · Configuration Built around the part

Rollers, indicator, probe, stops, and accessories are selected for the inspection requirement.

How the F-20 Is Configured

Model. Rollers. Indicator & accessories.

Universal Punch defines the Concentricity Gaging System around three primary selections. The F-20 establishes the model family and capacity; the remaining components are matched to the workpiece and measurement objective.

Universal Punch F-20 alternate full product technical view
01 Select the F-20 model

The F-20 establishes the F-Series Recess Fastener Checker architecture and 10–50 mm / 3/8–2 in size class.

02 Select the -20 main rollers

Published -20 choices include Full Plain 120-20FP, Half Plain 120-20HP, and Quarter Plain 120-20QP roller sets.

03 Select indicator & accessories

Indicator, recess probe or checking attachment, top roller, stops, and data requirements are matched to the feature being inspected.

Published -20 top-roller family

The 3/4 × 9/32 in (19 × 7 mm) top roller is listed as standard for -20 gages, with several additional -20 top-roller sizes available. Universal Punch should match the contact geometry to the workpiece.

Powered rotation should be confirmed

Universal Punch documentation discusses optional powered systems generally, but the current model-specific motor list does not enumerate a dedicated F-20 motor assembly. Confirm any powered F-20 requirement with engineering.

F-20 Inspection Options

Configure the measurement around the feature.

Universal Punch documents several attachment and probe categories for F-10 and F-20 recess-checking applications. Final selection depends on the fastener geometry, recess form, inspection relationship, indicator access, and acceptance criteria.

01
Screw Recess Checking Attachment For applications requiring dedicated recess-checking geometry on the F-Series platform.
02
Dial Test Indicator Attachment Supports inspection setups that require test-indicator access to the measurement feature.
03
O.D. Hex Checking Attachment Available for applicable external-hex checking requirements on F-10 / F-20 systems.
04
45° Recess Probes Published probe sizes include 3/8, 1/2, 5/8, and 7/8 in.
05
Female Punch Probes Published for recess punch checking in probe sizes #1 through #5.
Model Comparison

Choose the architecture, not just the size.

The F-20 and B-20 share the 10–50 mm size class, but they do not use the same carrier architecture. The F-10 shares the F-Series recess-checking architecture but serves the smaller 3–25 mm class. This is why model selection should start with both the workpiece envelope and the measurement objective.

F-20 FAQ

F-20 questions, answered.

What is the Universal Punch F-20 Concentricity Gage?
The Universal Punch F-20 is the 10–50 mm member of the F-Series Recess Fastener Checker Gage family. It uses the F-Series Recess Checking Carrier and is intended for recess fastener inspection applications that fall within the -20 size class.
What part sizes can the F-20 inspect?
Published Universal Punch general data lists the F-20 for part diameters from 3/8 inch to 2 inches (10–50 mm) and part lengths from approximately 0.18 inch to 6 inches (4.7–152 mm). Published gage dimensions are 12.5 inches long, 4.5 inches wide, approximately 6 inches high, with a shipping weight of 6.4 lb.
How is the F-20 different from the F-10?
Both models use the F-Series Recess Fastener Checker architecture and Recess Checking Carrier. The F-10 is the smaller 3–25 mm class for parts up to 4 inches long, while the F-20 increases capacity to 10–50 mm diameter parts up to 6 inches long.
How is the F-20 different from the B-20?
The F-20 and B-20 share the 10–50 mm -20 size class, but they use different measurement architectures. The F-20 is a Recess Fastener Checker Gage with Recess Checking Carrier; the B-20 is a Basic Extended Gage with Standard Carrier.
Which main rollers are published for the F-20 size class?
Universal Punch identifies Full Plain, Half Plain, and Quarter Plain main roller sets for -20 models, including 120-20FP, 120-20HP, and 120-20QP. The correct roller geometry should be selected from the actual support lands and inspection requirement.
What F-Series attachments are documented for the F-20?
Universal Punch documents F-10/F-20 attachment categories including a Screw Recess Checking Attachment, Dial Test Indicator Attachment, O.D. Hex Checking Attachment, 45-degree recess probes in multiple sizes, and female punch probes for recess punch checking. Final compatibility should be confirmed from the part and measurement requirement.
How is an F-20 system configured?
Universal Punch defines the Concentricity Gaging System around three primary selections: choose the gage model, choose the main rollers, then choose the indicator and other accessories. The F-20 configuration should be matched to the recess feature, support lands, measurement location, tolerance, and data requirements.
What accuracy classifications are documented for -20 Universal Punch concentricity gages?
Universal Punch documentation states that Standard Black gages are guaranteed better than or equal to 4 microns accuracy and that Precision Gold is available for -10 and -20 model classes with better than or equal to 2 microns accuracy. Confirm the required F-20 classification, indicator resolution, calibration, and traceability when ordering.
Can the F-20 be motorized?
Universal Punch catalog literature describes optional motorized drive systems for the Concentricity Gaging System generally. The current model-specific motor list does not enumerate a dedicated F-20 variable-speed motor assembly, so powered rotation for an F-20 should be confirmed directly with Universal Punch engineering.
