Depth stop for dial gauge M208.062.4 — 16 mm head, 8 mm mounting (Metav IndustryLine)

A depth stop for dial gauge M208.062.4 designed to convert standard dial gauges into a compact depth-measuring tool for fixtures and small components, featuring a 16 mm contact face and an 8 mm mounting shank.

• 16 mm measuring head for repeatable contact
• 8 mm shank for standard dial gauge mounts
• 38 mm compact overall length for tight spaces
• Compatible with dial gauges up to 25 mm

Accurate depth control where space is limited

The accessory converts a dial gauge into a focused depth-measuring instrument, delivering repeatable contact via its 16 mm measuring head and a straight contact geometry that reduces positional variance. Its function is purely mechanical, which makes interpretation straightforward: read the displacement from the attached dial gauge after the stop contacts the surface. This simplicity shortens setup time and supports predictable throughput in inspection routines, increasing process efficiency without requiring electrics or software.

Compact design that improves handling and stability

With an overall length of 38 mm, this depth stop is tailored for constrained workspaces and fixtures where larger gauges would obstruct the operation. The compact form reduces lever arm effects and contributes to measurement stability by keeping the contact point closer to the gauge pivot. At a modest weight of 0.43 kg, the accessory remains rigid while being easy to position; the result is fewer retries and more consistent depth readings on repetitive parts.

Fast integration into existing dial gauge setups

Mounting follows common workshop standards: the 8 mm shank fits most dial gauge posts and holders, enabling swift attachment to test stands or bespoke jigs. It is specified as suitable for dial gauges up to 25 mm dial diameter and should be used in conjunction with a measuring insert of diameter <3 mm to ensure correct contact behaviour. This requirement protects the measuring edge and maintains alignment, which in turn preserves measurement quality over many cycles.

Workshop-ready reliability and practical benefits

As an accessory intended for regular bench use, the depth stop is described without special surface treatments or electronic features, emphasising mechanical robustness and low-maintenance operation. By converting existing gauges into depth-measuring tools, it reduces the need for additional dedicated instruments and thus helps streamline inventory. When combined with consistent fixturing, this approach lowers variation and supports reproducible inspection results across batches.

FAQ

How does this depth stop attach to a dial gauge?
The depth stop attaches via the standard 8 mm shank and is designed to be mounted in a dial gauge holder or stand; the M208.062.4 uses the common 8 mm interface for fast integration.

Which dial gauges are compatible with this accessory?
Compatibility is with dial gauges up to 25 mm in diameter that accept an 8 mm mounting post; the M208.062.4 is specified for such gauges to ensure correct alignment and contact.

Are there special requirements for the measuring insert?
Yes — the depth stop requires a measuring insert with a diameter of less than 3 mm to achieve the stated contact geometry and safe operation when used with the M208.062.4.

Can this accessory be used for depth measurements on rough surfaces?
The accessory provides a defined contact face for depth probing; for rough surfaces, stable fixturing and an appropriate insert are recommended to avoid misleading deflections when using the M208.062.4.

Is any calibration or certification supplied with the accessory?
No calibration certificate is indicated for this accessory in the product data; the M208.062.4 is a mechanical accessory and should be checked within the existing gauge calibration routine where traceability is required.
