Sine Bar

The document discusses the sine bar, which is used to precisely measure angles. It has two rollers of the same diameter fixed so the bar surface is parallel to the surface plate. Slip gauges are placed under one roller to make the bar parallel to a workpiece's angular surface. The angle is then calculated using trigonometry based on the height of the slip gauges. Sine bars provide accurate angle measurement but handling can be difficult for large workpieces or those with unknown projections.

Sine Bar
● A sine bar is used in
conjunction with slip gauge
blocks for precise angular
measurement.
● A sine bar is used either to
measure an angle very
accurately or face locate any
work to a given angle.
● Sine bars are made from a
high chromium corrosion
resistant steel, and is
hardened, precision
ground, and stabilized.
Specifications of Sine Bar
● Sine bar is specified by the distance
between the centres of two rollers i.e.,
100mm, 200mm, 250mm, or 300mm, two
rollers must be of same diameters. The
various parts of sine bar are hardened
before grinding and lapping.
● The rollers are so fixed that when sine bar
is placed on surface plate, the surface of
the bar is exactly parallel to surface plate.
● Holes are produced in the sine bar for
reducing the weight of sine bar so that
handling of sine bar will become easier.
Working Principle of Sine Bar
The principle of operation of the sine bar is based upon the application of
trigonometry. In a right angle triangle the ratio of the perpendicular to that of the
hypotenuse is referred to as the sine of the angle θ.
Working Principle of Sine bar
● The ratio will always be
the same irrespective of
the length of sides of the
triangle. By placing the
slip gauges under the one
roller, the bar surface can
be made parallel to any
angular surface of work.
● Then by measuring the
total height made by slip
gauge, the angle can be
found by using the
formula.
Tools Used with sine bar: Slip Guage
Tools used with sine bar: Dial Guage
Measurement of Angle for Small Component:
● For checking the angle of small size
components, a sine bar is set up approximate
(Nominal) angle on a surface plate by suitable
combination of slip gauges.
● The component being checked is placed over
the surface of a sine bar and dial gauge is
mounted upon a suitable stand such as
universal surface gauge.
● It is moved over the component throughout its
length. If there is a variation in parallelism of
the upper surface of the component and the
surface plate, it is indicated by the deflection of
pointer than we adjust the slip gauges height so
that the dial indicator reads zero position
Measurement of Angle for Large Component:
● When component is too large to be
mounted on the sin-bar, the sine bar
can be mounted on the component.
● The height over the rollers is measured
by means of a vernier height gauge. A
dial gauge is also used to check the
measuring pressure.By adjusting the
height gauge until the dial gauge reads
zero reading each time.
● The difference of the two height gauge
reading being the rise of the sine-bar.
