2mm Measuring Insert Horizontal Cylinder Steel For Dial Gauges, Ø 2mm - Käfer Messuhrenfabrik GmbH & Co. KG

Robust steel measuring insert with a Ø 2 mm horizontal cylinder and M2.5 thread provides reliable dial gauge mounting for tight access points; order the Käfer measuring insert directly via Metav Werkzeuge or ask our consultants if needed.

Käfer measuring insert — horizontal cylinder, Ø 2 mm, M2.5 thread

The Käfer measuring insert is a steel horizontal cylinder intended for secure mounting on dial gauges, designed to deliver precise contact in confined measuring situations.

• Horizontal cylinder measuring insert
• Ø 2 mm precision tip
• M2.5 threaded mounting
• Steel construction for wear resistance

Accurate dial-gauge mounting where space is limited

The horizontal orientation of this measuring insert ensures dependable contact geometry when radial or offset measurement positions are required. Machined as a compact horizontal cylinder, the component features a Ø 2 mm contact diameter that limits probe intrusion while preserving accuracy. The M2.5 thread provides a standardised connection to many dial gauge stems, enabling repeatable fixturing without additional adaptors. Because the part is made from steel, the operator benefits from mechanical stability and predictable behaviour under normal workshop loads, which supports consistent measurement results.

Built for repeatability and everyday workshop use

Constructed in steel, the insert offers good wear resistance and dimensional stability during repeated cycles of contact and repositioning. The simple geometry reduces the risk of misalignment during set-up and makes visual inspection straightforward. When used with conventional dial gauges, the component contributes to lower measurement scatter by fixing the contact point precisely relative to the gauge spindle. This predictable performance minimises downtime for readjustment and supports efficient inspection routines in production and maintenance environments.

Practical integration and purchase details

Integration into existing dial gauge assemblies is straightforward thanks to the M2.5 threaded connection and compact footprint of the insert. The design suits applications where a small contact tip is required for recessed bores, narrow features or where lateral access prevents the use of straight probes. For users needing complementary technical information or compatibility checks with specific gauge models, Metav Werkzeuge provides targeted advice and product data to support selection and procurement.

FAQ

What applications suit this measuring insert?
The Käfer measuring insert is designed for dial gauge applications requiring a small contact tip and lateral access, making it suitable for recessed bores and confined features.

Is the insert compatible with standard dial gauge stems?
Yes, the M2.5 threaded mounting matches common dial gauge connections; the insert fastens securely to standard stems for repeatable setups.

How durable is the measuring tip under frequent use?
Made from steel, the insert offers good wear resistance for everyday inspection tasks when used under standard workshop conditions.

Can the insert be used in automated inspection fixtures?
The compact horizontal cylinder design and standard thread allow integration into fixtures where lateral contact is required; fixture design should account for the Ø 2 mm tip diameter.

Where can I get additional technical information or ordering support?
Metav Werkzeuge can provide compatibility checks and further technical data for the Käfer measuring insert; contact details are provided below.
