Measuring Stand M208.119 — 256 mm rod, vacuum base Ø90 mm (Metav IndustryLine)

The Measuring Stand M208.119 is a compact indicator stand for workshop and inspection use, designed to secure dial gauges on flat or non-magnetic surfaces with a vacuum base and central mechanical clamping

• Vacuum base Ø90 mm for secure attachment
• 256 mm rigid support rod
• Central mechanical clamping, fine adjustment

Stable mounting for repeatable measurements

The vacuum base ensures fast, secure fixing on flat surfaces where magnetic bases are unsuitable; with its Ø90 mm footprint the stand provides a wide contact area that limits creep and movement during repetitive checks. Combined with the rigid 256 mm support rod, the arrangement reduces setup time while improving the reproducibility of results. This stability translates into a consistent measurement environment, which is particularly relevant for incoming inspection or assembly-line spot checks where small setup variations can lead to significant deviations in documented tolerances.

Precise positioning and ergonomic control

A central advantage of this indicator stand is the central mechanical clamping, which locks the rod and arm with a single, reliable action. The integrated fine adjustment mechanism permits micro‑positioning of the probe, enabling controlled approach speeds and minimised overshoot when aligning an indicator/dial gauge. Compatibility has been provided for gauges with 4 mm or 8 mm shanks, so the stand adapts to common workshop and laboratory instruments without the need for additional adapters. The design keeps the operator interaction straightforward while supporting measurement protocols that demand traceable, repeatable placements.

Portable, robust support for versatile inspection tasks

Weighing only 0.75 kg, the assembly is light enough for bench-to-bench repositioning yet built to resist common workshop handling. The balance between reach and stiffness offered by the 256 mm rod makes the unit suitable for general metrology, fixture checks and small‑series assembly control; it fills the gap between compact benchtop supports and larger columns without compromising rigidity. Its category as a magnetic stand alternative complements Metav IndustryLine’s selection, providing a practical solution for inspection tasks on materials or surfaces where magnetic attachment is impractical.

FAQ

Which gauge shank sizes fit the stand?
Compatibility is provided for gauges with 4 mm or 8 mm shanks; the stand accepts common indicator stems without extra adapters.

Is the base suitable for non-magnetic surfaces?
The vacuum base Ø90 mm delivers secure adhesion on flat, non-magnetic surfaces where a magnetic base would not hold.

What is the effective reach and portability of the stand?
With a 256 mm support rod and a weight of 0.75 kg, the M208.119 balances reach and portability for bench and light shop use.

How is the arm locked in position?
A central mechanical clamping mechanism locks the rod and arm reliably; the integrated fine adjustment permits micro‑positioning before final clamping.
