Measurement insert — 1 mm ball tip, M2.5 thread (Käfer)

A measurement insert with a 1 mm ball contact and M2.5 thread, designed for use with dial indicators and other small measuring probes in precision workshops.

• Precision 1 mm ball contact
• M2.5 threaded connection
• Hard-wearing steel construction
• Suitable for dial indicators

Consistent contact for reliable readings

The measurement insert delivers a defined contact geometry that reduces measurement variability when inspecting small features. The 1 mm ball contact provides a minimal and repeatable contact point, which is particularly beneficial when checking grooves, small bores or delicate surfaces. By concentrating on geometric consistency rather than surface area, the insert helps to maintain precision and lowers the risk of erroneous deflection during indicator readings.

Robust material and mechanical compatibility

Manufactured in steel, the insert balances hardness with toughness to withstand repeated contact cycles typical in workshop and production environments. The M2.5 thread ensures straightforward mechanical integration with standard indicator stems and adapters; compatibility with common dial indicators makes retrofitting uncomplicated. The material choice supports wear resistance, extending service intervals and keeping replacement frequency low.

Practical use and measurement advantages

Fitting this ball-tip insert to a measuring probe or dial indicator enables high-repeatability checks on fine details without complex fixturing. The small spherical tip reduces the influence of surface irregularities and enables more accurate point contact measurements. For operators seeking reproducible results on precision parts, the combination of a compact contact diameter and standardised thread offers an efficient solution that integrates smoothly into established measurement routines.
