Käfer measuring insert, flat Ø 10 mm, M2.5, steel

The Käfer measuring insert is a flat contact accessory for dial gauges, offering a 10 mm contact face and an M2.5 thread for straightforward mounting in precision measurement setups.

Flat 10 mm contact face M2.5 thread mount for dial gauges Designed for dial gauge use Steel construction for stability

Reliable contact face for repeatable readings

A flat contact face with a 10 mm diameter delivers a consistent contact area that reduces measurement variability on flat surfaces. The flat geometry is preferable where point contacts would deform or slip, so the insert supports repeatability and stable reference points. The precisely machined surface minimises measurement noise and helps to maintain instrument calibration intervals.

Easy compatibility and secure mounting

With a standard M2.5 thread, the insert fits common dial gauge accessories and holders used across workshops and inspection benches. The thread size provides a compact but secure connection, enabling quick swapping of contact tips during setup changes. This compatibility reduces downtime and simplifies integration into existing measuring rigs or test fixtures.

Material choice that supports everyday use

Manufactured in steel, the insert balances wear resistance with machinability; steel provides dimensional stability under typical workshop conditions. For many routine measurement tasks, the material ensures the contact face remains true over repeated cycles, so the accessory contributes to longer service life and predictable measurement behaviour without the need for exotic materials.

Practical selection for inspection and bench work

This flat measuring insert is ideal where stable surface contact and repeatable readings are crucial—inspection stations, component testing and assembly quality checks. The compact form and standard thread make it a pragmatic choice for laboratories and workshops seeking economical, dependable accessories that integrate with existing dial gauge inventories.

FAQ

What mounting thread does the insert use?
The insert uses an M2.5 thread, which is a common size for dial gauge accessories and ensures straightforward attachment to compatible holders.

Is the contact face suitable for delicate surfaces?
The flat 10 mm contact face provides a stable contact area; for very delicate finishes, consider using a protective pad or a different contact geometry to avoid surface marking.

Can this insert be used with all dial gauges?
The insert is intended for use with dial gauges that accept M2.5-mounted accessories; compatibility depends on the gauge holder or adapter used rather than the gauge mechanism itself.

How durable is the steel construction during repetitive use?
Steel gives good wear resistance for standard workshop and inspection use, supporting consistent measurement behaviour over repeated contacts.

What is included in the packaging unit?
The packaging unit contains one measuring insert, ready for mounting.
