Depth Gauge M204.094 — 500 mm vernier depth gauge, stainless steel, DIN 862 (Metav IndustryLine)

The Depth Gauge M204.094 is a vernier-style depth gauge designed for precise depth checks in mechanical and metalworking environments, combining a 0–500 mm measuring range with robust stainless-steel construction.

• 0–500 mm measuring range with 250 mm bridge
• Vernier resolution 0.05 mm (1/20 mm)
• Stainless-steel construction, matt chrome-plated scale
• Locking screw for repeatable positioning

Precision that supports daily production

The instrument provides a 0–500 mm measuring range with a vernier resolution of 0.05 mm, compliant with DIN 862, making it suitable as a medium-range caliper for workshop and toolroom tasks. This level of mechanical accuracy corresponds to the industry standard for general engineering checks and offers a clear, reproducible basis for quality control. The analogue vernier allows readings without batteries, reducing downtime and ensuring measurements remain possible in any setting.

Robust build for repeated use

Constructed from stainless steel with the scale and vernier matt-chrome plated, the gauge resists corrosion and holds up to routine workshop handling. The integrated locking screw secures the slide for repeatable measurements and simple transfer of values. These features reduce handling errors and contribute to consistent process control when inspecting castings, housings or assemblies where medium-length depth checks are common.

Clear measurement principle and easy reading

The vernier system specified as 1/20 mm gives a readable increment of 0.05 mm, which aligns with DIN 862 expectations for analogue calipers. For technicians familiar with vernier operation, the scale permits quick interpretation; for less experienced users, the fixed graduations and the robust feel of the slide help avoid overpressure and misreads. The mechanical design therefore supports efficiency by combining tactile control with unambiguous scale markings.

Practical deployment and maintenance benefits

As a workshop tool, the gauge is suited to inspection benches and production lines where a balance between reach and stiffness is required. The medium-range format gives good reach without excessive flex, which is important for reproducible readings across larger components. Routine maintenance consists of keeping the measuring faces clean and lightly oiled to preserve slide quality and the matt-chrome finish; this ensures long service life and stable results in repeated depth checks.
