#9043 Offset Cruciform GO / NO-GO Gage
The #9043 Offset Cruciform GO / NO-GO Gage is a precision inspection tool designed for verifying driver engagement geometry in Torq-Set ribbed cruciform recess fasteners.
Manufactured in accordance with NAS0025, NASM14191, and MS33781 standards, the 9043 Series provides functional GO and NOT GO inspection for aerospace and military specification Offset Cruciform screws.
Torq-Set recesses utilize a ribbed, offset cruciform geometry engineered to resist cam-out and provide superior torque transmission in critical aerospace applications.
The 9043 Series verifies proper driver conformity and engagement geometry using dedicated GO (A) and NOT GO (C) gage ends.
Available sizes:
9043-00 – Size 0
9043-01 – Size 1
9043-03 – Size 3
9043-04 – Size 4
9043-06 – Size 6
9043-08 – Size 8
9043-10 – Size 10
9043-25 – 1/4
9043-31 – 5/16
9043-37 – 3/8
9043-43 – 7/16
9043-50 – 1/2
9043-56 – 9/16
9043-63 – 5/8
9043-75 – 3/4
Gage Type (A) – GO
Gage Type (C) – NOT GO
The GO end verifies proper minimum engagement conformity.The NOT GO end ensures the driver geometry does not exceed maximum allowable tolerances.
The 9043 Series is ideal for:
• Aerospace fastener manufacturers
• Defense contractors
• MRO facilities
• Aviation assembly operations
• Calibration laboratories
Long form calibration certificates provide dimensional verification and traceability to the National Institute of Standards and Technology, NIST.
The 9043 Series delivers aerospace-grade driver verification for Offset Cruciform Torq-Set fasteners.
