Carbide measuring insert, ball Ø 1 mm — Käfer (M1.6 thread, L 11.8 mm)

Carbide measuring insert for contact measuring instruments, offering a ball-shaped probe for fine, repeatable measurements across compatible indicator models

• Carbide ball tip for durable contact measurement
• Precision Ø 1.00 mm probe for fine features
• Compatible with K30, K31, K32, K46 models

Precise probing for fine surface features

The ball-shaped probe tip with Ø 1 mm delivers repeatable contact points for taking fine measurements on small features. Manufactured from carbide, the geometry stabilises the contact zone and reduces deflection during tactile measurement, which improves consistency across multiple readings. The combination of compact length and a small spherical end is especially suitable for tight grooves, small bores and delicate surfaces where larger tips would obscure the measurement or introduce error.

Long-term stability and wear resistance

Constructed from carbide, the insert offers high abrasion resistance and dimensional stability under frequent use. This hardness means fewer replacements and consistent performance over many cycles, supporting reliable quality control in workshops and inspection benches. The robust design minimises maintenance intervals and preserves the calibration integrity of the measuring chain, so production and inspection processes remain predictable and efficient.

Direct fit and simple replacement for common indicator models

The M1.6 thread provides secure attachment and fast replacement of worn tips without special tools. Compatibility with the K30, K31, K32 and K46 indicator series ensures the insert integrates seamlessly with existing Käfer contact gauges and dial indicators. Clear model matching reduces downtime during tool changes and helps maintain traceable measurement routines in both repair and production environments.
