Precision dial indicators for accurate length and runout checks
Dial indicators and related gauges provide precise measurement of small lengths and deviations, serving applications such as concentricity, flatness and comparison checks on lathes and milling machines, and offering both digital and analog options to suit different measuring ranges. These instruments are used with appropriate accessories for tasks like depth measurement or runout testing and feature hardened contact faces or balls for reliable contact; typical variants include dial indicators, test indicators and depth gauges. Analog types transmit spindle movement via rack and pinion to the pointer and may include a drag pointer to prevent gear damage, while digital versions give straightforward numeric readouts for quick interpretation. Using these gauges improves setup accuracy, process control and the repeatability of measurements in metalworking and workshop environments.

Technical data Article number: M208.180 GTIN: 4054469105291 Weight: 0.1 kg Description: Ball Ø2.5 mm with taper Customs tariff number: 90319000 Facts Ball diameter: 2.5 mm Thread: M2.5 Category: Accessory (measuring instruments) Net weight: 0.1 kg Special features Suitable for dial indicators with M2.5 connection Accessory for measuring instruments and inspection tasks Product group: Zubehör (accessories) FAQ Is the measuring tip compatible with all dial indicators? Compatibility depends on the connection thread; the measuring tip fits dial indicators with an M2.5 threaded connection, such as those commonly used in workshop and laboratory indicators. How does the 2.5 mm ball affect measurement results? The 2.5 mm ball provides a defined single-point contact that reduces contact variability, improving repeatability for small-feature checks and limiting surface deformation during inspection. Can the tip be used for both external and internal measurements? The geometry is intended for point contact tasks; when mounted on a dial indicator with appropriate fixturing, it can be used for external point checks and certain internal applications where access and alignment permit reliable contact.

Precise measurements with dial indicators for workshop and production use
Dial indicators are high-quality measuring devices designed for a variety of measuring ranges and fine-tuning tasks. These instruments, available in digital and analogue versions, enable precise assessment of concentricity, flatness and comparative measurements in confined or critical areas.
How dial indicators work and where they are essential
Analogue dial indicators transmit the linear movement of the probe via a rack-and-pinion mechanism to the pointer, with an additional revolution counter showing extended travel. Many types operate in both compression and tension, so a wide effective measuring range is covered. Lever-type indicators use a lever system instead of a rack, offering a smaller range but finer resolution. Typical workshop applications include runout checks at the lathe, setting up depth on milling tables or circular saws, and comparative checks during series production.
Tangible benefits for everyday production
- Fast, repeatable readings for comparison work, reducing setup and inspection time.
- Stable measuring force and hardened contact tips for reliable, wear-resistant contact and consistent results.
- Broad selection: digital dial indicators, mechanical dial indicators, depth gauges, lever-type test indicators, fine‑point test indicators and thickness gauges cover most shop tasks.
- Reduced risk of measurement error through appropriate instrument choice and accessories, improving first-pass yield.
- Flexible deployment on machines and inspection benches thanks to standardised mounts and probes.

Core takeaway
Dial indicators deliver precise, repeatable measurements across a variety of specialised tasks; selecting the correct type—whether digital, analogue or lever-type—ensures reliable results and smoother production processes.
FAQ
What is the main difference between analogue and digital dial indicators?
Analogue dial indicators transmit movement via a rack-and-pinion and show mechanical pointer travel, which can be advantageous for visual trend detection; digital dial indicators provide direct numerical readout and often allow data output for logging and analysis, both of which are available from Metav.
When should I use a lever-type test indicator instead of a standard dial indicator?
Use a lever-type indicator when you need finer resolution over a small measuring range or when the probe must access tight spaces; lever-type instruments are particularly useful for checking runout and small surface variations.
How do I avoid damaging an analogue dial indicator’s gearing?
Avoid forcing the probe beyond its travel range; where significant overtravel is possible, choose a model with an appropriate range or a built-in stop. A drag pointer or anti-backlash feature can also reduce the risk of gear damage by preventing delayed pointer return.
Are special contact tips necessary for different materials?
Yes. For consistent results and reduced wear, choose hardened contact tips or balls appropriate to the material and surface finish being measured; Metav’s product range includes a variety of probe tips and accessories for this purpose.
