Sensitive Vertical Dial Test Indicator M208.004.1 — vertical plunger, 0–0.8 mm range, 0.01 mm resolution (Metav IndustryLine)

The Sensitive Vertical Dial Test Indicator M208.004.1 is a compact, plunger-type dial gauge intended for fine inspections and alignment tasks in precision workshops and toolrooms.

• Vertical plunger action for tight spaces
• 0.01 mm readable resolution
• 32 mm dial for clear readout
• Shock-protected construction

Precision for sub-millimetre control

This vertical, plunger-style dial gauge delivers fine resolution across a very small measuring span of 0–0.8 mm, making it particularly suitable for ultra-fine inspection tasks and adjustments. The 0.01 mm graduation on the analogue scale offers clear, comparable readouts that support quick pass/fail checks and small-correction alignment. In practice, this level of readability is valuable for micro-assembly, toolsetting and fixture verification where repeatable, visible deviation values are required without complex electronics.

Stable, repeatable measuring in compact mounts

Built around a compact 32 mm dial, the instrument combines a small footprint with mechanical resilience. The 32 mm dial provides a readable face while the vertical plunger keeps the contact geometry stable in restricted fixturing. Mechanical safeguards include shock-protected construction and an automatic reversal of measuring direction, which preserves the mechanism and reduces user-induced variability during cyclic probing. The gauge is supplied with dovetail guides for Ø6 mm and Ø8 mm mounting shafts, enabling fast integration into existing holders and test fixtures compliant with typical workshop set-ups.

Practical workshop benefits and reliability

Low weight and simple mechanics make installation and handling straightforward; the gauge is lightweight for its class and comes with a fitted measuring insert for immediate use. Compliance with DIN 2270 underlines manufacturing tolerances and interchangeability of components. For everyday metrology tasks that prioritise mechanical simplicity and visual confirmation, this instrument complements electronic systems by offering tactile reliability and instant feedback. Metav IndustryLine quality ensures product traceability and consistent delivery, backed by a European logistics and quality filter located in Emmerich.

FAQ

What measuring span does the indicator cover?
The indicator covers a measuring span of 0–0.8 mm, ideal for very small displacements and fine adjustment tasks with the Metav IndustryLine M208.004.1.

How fine are the graduations and how are they read?
Graduations are 0.01 mm on an analogue dial; the 32 mm face provides a clear visual reference for rapid readings and trend observation.

Is the instrument suitable for fixture and tool alignment?
Yes — the vertical plunger geometry and supplied dovetail guides for Ø6 mm and Ø8 mm shafts allow straightforward mounting in fixture holders for alignment and comparative measurement tasks.

Does the gauge include any mechanism protection?
The gauge is shock-protected and features automatic reversal of measuring direction to reduce wear and maintain repeatability in workshop use.
