M206.046 Height Gauge — Double-column, 500 mm with 0.01 mm dial

The M206.046 is a double-column stainless-steel height gauge designed for accurate marking and height setting in toolrooms and production environments up to 500 mm

• Double-column design for high stability
• Dial indicator with 0.01 mm reading
• Carbide scribing needle for durable marking
• Stainless-steel construction, corrosion-resistant

Repeatable measurements for medium-sized components

The double-column frame and the finely geared handwheel ensure smooth, controlled vertical travel, translating into consistent results when marking or setting heights. The integrated dial indicator with 0.01 mm resolution and the accompanied double-counter allow both fine incremental reading and unambiguous total count, which reduces transcription errors during repetitive tasks. With a measuring span to 500 mm, this instrument sits in the workshop’s medium range, offering the best compromise between reach and stiffness for components such as fixture parts, housings and medium assemblies.

Built to withstand everyday shop use

A heavier base and a twin-column guide deliver the rigidity required to keep readings stable; the instrument’s stainless-steel construction adds corrosion resistance for long service life in busy environments. The carbide scribing needle remains sharp under repeated use, preserving marking clarity and minimising rework. The overall mass of the unit contributes to vibration damping and repeatability, while the robust clamping elements lock adjustments securely, so set-ups remain unchanged during machining or inspection tasks.

Clear reading and practical counting for faster workflows

The analogue display was chosen for immediate visual assessment: the dial indicator, showing hundredths of a millimetre, makes fine adjustments intuitive, while the double-counter records movements separately for upward and downward travel—helpful when setting reference heights or transferring dimensions between parts. The mechanical readout and simple adjustment mechanism make the instrument easy to integrate into daily quality-control routines without needing additional electronics, and the familiar layout reduces training time for workshop personnel.

FAQ

What is the measuring range of this height gauge?
The height gauge has a measuring range of 0–500 mm and is classified for medium-range workshop tasks.

How fine is the dial indicator on the instrument?
The integrated dial indicator reads in 0.01 mm increments, providing fine visual resolution for layout and setting operations.

Is the scribing point suitable for repeated marking on metal?
Yes, the gauge is fitted with a carbide scribing needle, which offers durable marking performance on common shop materials.

Can the instrument keep a set height reliably during work?
The double-column frame, secure clamping and weighted base ensure stable locking of the chosen height for repeatable results.

Does the gauge include a counter for tracking movements?
Yes, the device features a double-counter, which records upward and downward movement separately for clear documentation.
