Order the manual 50 N probe M502.253 directly via Metav Werkzeuge or ask our consultants if needed. Manual 50 N probe for models 502.230 / 502.231 / 502.240 / 502.241 — Ultrasonic probe by Metav IndustryLine A manual ultrasonic probe that provides stable contact force for precise surface roughness measurement in workshop and laboratory settings. *50 N measurement force *Manual drive for precise positioning *Probe tip Ø5.5 mm, oscillation rod Ø3 mm *Suitable for specimens ≥2 mm thick Stable contact for repeatable roughness readings The 50 N specification defines a constant measurement force that reduces variability from manual handling and improves measurement repeatability. A defined contact force is particularly valuable when assessing surface texture where slight pressure changes can distort Ra results; the controlled 50 N contact promotes comparable readings across batches and operators. This characteristic supports efficient quality assurance workflows and reduces rework caused by inconsistent measurements. Sensitive tip and oscillation for surface detail A compact probe tip Ø5.5 mm combined with an oscillation rod Ø3 mm concentrates contact on a small surface area, increasing sensitivity to micro‑texture while limiting averaging effects over broader zones. For ultrasonic roughness measurement this geometry yields clearer distinction of fine peaks and valleys, which is beneficial for components with low to moderate roughness values. The specification Ra < 10 μm indicates suitability for finely finished surfaces where small deviations are critical to function. Designed for integration and robust handling The unit is produced for straightforward attachment to matching roughness instruments and is compatible with the main models listed. The probe’s manual drive enables careful, stepwise positioning, giving operators tactile control during set‑up and inspection. The assembly remains compact yet sturdy, weighing 1 kg for ease of handling and minimised inertia during adjustments. The article reference M502.253 denotes the specific configuration intended for retrofitting or replacement tasks. Practical use cases and specimen guidance Intended for use with specimens that are at least 2 mm thick and have a minimum weight of 0.3 kg, the probe suits production sampling, incoming inspection and laboratory checks of machined parts, coatings and precision castings. The manual drive supports delicate alignment for small components while the defined contact force benefits repeat measurements on series parts. Where surface quality has functional implications—sealing faces, bearing journals or mating surfaces—this probe helps to confirm compliance with production tolerances.

Precision measurement for every workshop
Hardness testers — also described as hardness testing devices or hardness testing instruments — provide reproducible, standardised hardness values that form the basis for reliable material decisions. Designed for both laboratory benches and site inspection, these instruments cover common scales such as Brinell, Rockwell, Vickers and Shore, plus mobile rebound methods.
How they work and where they prove indispensable
Hardness testing instruments operate by applying a defined load or impact and evaluating the material response. Stationary bench models use controlled indenter forces for methods like Brinell, Vickers and Rockwell, making them ideal for dimensional components and metallurgical labs. Portable units, commonly using the Leeb rebound principle or ultrasonic techniques, allow in-situ testing of castings, welded structures and large assemblies where transporting the part is impractical. Manual testers require operator positioning and load control, while automatic models execute repeatable test cycles and calculate min, max and mean results without manual intervention.
Modern hardness testers frequently include digital readouts and data functions: many devices offer internal memory, automatic conversion between scales (Vickers, Brinell, Shore, Rockwell), and connectivity via USB or Bluetooth for transfer to quality-management systems. Some portable variants even incorporate cameras for visual documentation alongside measurement data.
Measurable advantages that matter in production
- Increased decision speed: standardised readings across Brinell, Rockwell, Vickers and Shore minimise interpretation time.
- Flexible deployment: portable hardness testing devices enable on-site verification without component removal.
- Reduced operator variation: automatic testers perform load control and series evaluation to lower human error.
- Traceable documentation: devices with internal memory and USB/Bluetooth interfaces simplify data export and reporting.
- Broad material coverage: from elastomers (Shore) to thin-walled components (Vickers) and hard workpieces (Rockwell), the right tester matches the task.

FAQ
Which hardness testing method is best for a given material?
The choice of hardness testing device depends on the material and geometry: Brinell is suited to soft and medium-hard metals (structural steel, aluminium alloys, cast iron and even wood in certain cases), Shore measures elastomers and plastics, Rockwell serves very hard parts, and Vickers is appropriate for thin-walled materials. Mobile rebound testers using the Leeb principle and ultrasonic hardness testing instruments are useful for alloys, non-magnetic metals and steel where on-site checks are needed.
Can portable hardness testers save and transfer measurement data?
Yes. Many portable hardness testing devices include internal memory, perform automatic scale conversions, and support data transfer via USB or Bluetooth, enabling later analysis and integration with quality-management workflows.
What is the practical difference between manual and automatic hardness testers?
Manual hardness testing instruments require the operator to position the specimen and control the test sequence, while automatic testers execute load application and measurement cycles, producing series results with minimum, maximum and average values—reducing variability and saving time in repetitive testing.
Are hardness testers suitable for in-field inspections on large components?
Absolutely. Portable hardness testing devices, particularly those based on the Leeb rebound method or ultrasonic measurement, are designed for in-situ testing of large or fixed components, avoiding the need to transport heavy parts to a lab.
