INTRODUCTION :-

Sin Bar
Content :- 

A sin bar is a device used to measure angles in metals. It

consists of a hardened ground body with two precision
ground cylinders attached at the ends. The distance between
the centres of the cylinders is accurately controlled, the top
of the bar is parallel to a line through the centres of the two
rollers.
 Sine Bar

The dimension between the two rollers is chosen to be an

entire number (for ease of subsequent calculation) and forms
the hypotenuse of a triangle when in use. The figure shows a
10 inch and a 100 mm sine bar.
Working Principle of Sin bar
Angles are measured using a sin bar with the help of a gauge
block and dial gauge or spirit level. The aim of a
measurement is to make the surface on which the dial gauge
or spirit level is placed horizontally.For example, The wedge is
placed on a horizontal table, to measure the angle of a
wedge,

The sin bar is placed on the inclined surface of the wedge. In

this case, the top surface of the sine bar is tilted like a wedge.
The top surface is made horizontal by using gauge blocks.

The sin of an angle of inclination of the wedge is a ratio of the

height of gauge blocks used and the distance between the
centres of the cylinders.

When a sin bar is located on a level surface the top edge will
be parallel to that surface. If one roller is raised by a known
distance, usually using gauge blocks, then the top edge of the
bar will be titled by the same amount forming an angle that
calculated by the application of a sine rule.

 The hypotenuse is a constant dimension – (10 inches or

100 mm as the examples shown).
 The height is achieved from the dimension between the
bottom of one roller and the table surface.
 The angle is measured by using a sine rule. The dimension
required to obtain an angle from 0°-90°, incremented by 1-
min intervals. Sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse.
 Angles can be measured or set with this tool.
Construction of Sin Bar
The sin bar is made of high carbon steel, high chromium
(corrosion resistance) and hardened. It consists of two rollers
with steel bars. The two rollers are very precise and highly
accurate and are equal in diameter.

Construction of Sin Bar

When the sin bar placed on a flat surface, the axes of the two
rollers are parallel to each other and also parallel to the
above face of the sin bar. The steel bar has the appearance of
relief holes. (To easily handle the sine bar and also to reduce
overall weight.

The distance between two rollers is usually available in 100

mm, 200 mm or 300 mm. There are two grades in the sine
bar. A grade and B grade. A grade sine bar has an accuracy of
0.01mm /m length, B grade sine bar has an accuracy of
0.02mm /m length.
Sin Bar Formula and Reading
The sin bar is based on trigonometry.

Formula of Sin Bar

 Sin θ = Opposite/Diagonal
 Cos θ = Adjacent/Opposite
 Tan θ = Opposite/Adjacent
The one roller is placed on a surface plate and the other is
placed at height h by a slip gauge. The distance between the
two setting rollers of the Sine Bar is given by L.

The above trigonometric formula Sin above =

opposite/diagonal = h / L

From this we can write θ = sin^-1 (h / L).

This is the formula for sin bar for calculating the angle or
setting the workpiece to the required angle. This device is
called “Sin Bar”.

Limitations
Following are the limitations of sin bar:

1. Any unknown projections present in the component will

cause errors in the measured angle to be induced.
2. For the construction of slip gauges, there is no scientific
approach available and it has to be built on trial and error
basis and it is a time-consuming process.
3. During the measurement of the angle using the sine bar,
the sine bar length must be greater than or equal to the
length of the component to be inspected.
4. If the length of the inspected component is too long, there
is no sine bar available that is longer than the component.
In these cases, the sine bar will be used together with the
height gauge for measurement.
Applications

Following are the applications of sin bar:

1. The sin-bar is used to set or determine the workpiece at a

given angle.
2. For checking the measurement of unknown angles in the
workpiece.
3. Some specially designed sin bars are used to mount the
workpiece to perform conical-shaped machining for the
workpiece.
4. To check for unknown angles on heavy components.
5. For checking the angles of taper key.
6. To check the flatness of the surface.
Conclusion

So now, we hope that we have clear all your doubts about Sin
Bar. And “Working Application of Sin Bar” .
