Measuring insert Ø 2 mm, L 11.8 mm — Carbide ball tip measuring insert (Käfer)

The Measuring insert Ø 2 mm, L 11.8 mm (Käfer) is a carbide ball-tip measuring insert designed for precision dial indicators, offering a compact contact geometry for fine-feature measurement in confined or delicate applications.

• Carbide ball tip Ø 2 mm
• Length 11.8 mm for confined access
• Thread M1.6 fitting common indicator stems
• Compatible with K30, K31, K32, K46 models

Accurate contact for fine-feature measurement

The cemented carbide ball tip with a diameter of Ø 2 mm provides a defined contact point that reduces measurement uncertainty on small features. The hard tip resists wear and abrasion, which preserves the original geometry and ensures repeatable results over long inspection runs. For users converting from worn probes, the consistent contact radius helps maintain measurement traceability without frequent recalibration.

Compact design that reaches confined areas

With a total length of 11.8 mm, the measuring tip is tailored for situations where access is limited or where overhang must be minimised. The ball-shaped end reduces lateral loading and slippage during probing, improving stability when contacting small bores, recesses or edges. Reduced probe mass and compact geometry also lower dynamic error during rapid indicator readings, supporting efficient shop-floor inspection routines.

Secure mounting and broad compatibility

The insert features an M1.6 thread and is specified for use with Käfer indicator models K30, K31, K32, K46, enabling straightforward replacement in established measurement fixtures. The standardised thread form ensures a firm mechanical connection to the indicator stem, preventing micro-movements that could affect the displayed value. Compatibility with these models simplifies spare-part management and reduces machine downtime.

Robust materials for economical operation

Manufactured from cemented carbide, the insert delivers high hardness and excellent wear resistance, which translates into longer service intervals and lower lifecycle costs. The durable tip minimises the frequency of replacements and maintains measurement integrity under repeated use. For operations that value consistent quality and dependable supply, this specification supports continuous inspection processes with minimal intervention.
