KÄFER Tastboy 0.8 mm lever-type measuring instrument — 0.01 mm graduation, DIN 2270 precision

The KÄFER Tastboy 0.8 mm is a compact lever-type measuring instrument designed for high-precision comparative checks and workshop inspection tasks.

• 0.01 mm graduation
• DIN 2270 accuracy (5 µm)
• Switchable lever movement
• Mountable on Ø 8 mm h6 shank

Precise measurement for repeatable quality control

Built to support consistent inspection routines, this lever-type gauge combines a 0.01 mm graduation with an effective repeatability of 5 µm according to DIN 2270, which translates into dependable comparative readings on the shop floor. The fine graduation allows visual detection of small deviations, while the standardised accuracy class offers a verifiable basis for acceptance checks and process control. Such clarity reduces rework and helps maintain a steady production flow.

Integration and adjustment that suit busy benches

Engineered for easy integration into fixtures and stands, the instrument accepts the clamping shank from the top or bottom and fits a Ø 8 mm h6 mount, enabling versatile set-ups in tight inspection rigs. The switchable lever movement and a measuring head that swivels up to 110° ensure ergonomic access to the test point; a 2.3 mm steel ball contact tip provides a durable bearing surface for consistent tactile response. These features simplify repetitive measurements and speed up part verification without compromising accuracy.

Compliance, serviceability and everyday robustness

The design is inspection-compliant, making it suitable for calibrated control loops and routine verification in quality departments. Parallel-to-dial adjustment of the measuring insert helps align the contact geometry for best readability, while the rotatable scale supports rapid interpretation of results from different angles. Constructed with workshop use in mind, the instrument offers a balance of precision and resilience that reduces downtime and supports long-term measurement stability.

FAQ

What resolution and accuracy can be expected from this gauge?
The gauge provides a 0.01 mm graduation and an effective repeatability of 5 µm in accordance with DIN 2270, so it is suitable for fine comparative checks and routine inspection tasks.

Can the unit be mounted in different orientations?
Yes. The instrument accepts a clamping shank Ø 8 mm h6 at the top or bottom and the measuring head can be swivelled up to 110°, allowing flexible fixture and stand arrangements.

What is the contact tip made of and why does that matter?
The contact is a 2.3 mm steel ball, chosen for wear resistance and consistent contact geometry, which helps maintain repeatable readings over extended use.

Is the instrument suitable for use in a production quality station?
Yes. As an inspection-compliant lever-type measuring instrument, the device is designed for bench-level quality checks and integration into calibrated measurement routines.

How is the lever movement adapted to different measurement situations?
The unit features a switchable lever movement, which allows the operator to change the direction or mode of the feeler action to suit varying part geometries and access constraints.
