Magnetic Base 60 kg M8 — switchable magnetic mount with prism foot (Metav IndustryLine)

The Magnetic Base 60 kg M8 is a compact, switchable holding device for securing indicators and fixtures during inspection and workshop measurement tasks.

• 60 kg nominal holding force
• M8 threaded stud for universal mounts
• Integrated on/off switch and prism foot

Stable anchoring for precision inspection

A firm magnetic anchor is essential for repeatable measurement. The 60 kg nominal holding force provides a dependable contact to ferrous surfaces, reducing micro‑movement during readings and improving traceability of results. Fitted with an M8 threaded stud, this magnetic mount integrates with common indicator stems and articulated holders used across metrology benches, enabling quick set‑ups and minimising non‑productive time. The result is a measurable increase in workflow efficiency where consistent fixturing matters.

Easy operation and versatile contact geometry

The integrated on/off switch simplifies positioning: the base can be released for adjustment and re‑engaged without sliding the device across the workpiece, which protects delicate surfaces. The prism foot gives a secure seating on cylindrical parts, preventing lateral slip when measuring shafts or round housings. Compact dimensions of 59 x 50 x 55 mm and a mass of 0.95 kg make handling straightforward, while the design supports rapid repositioning in tight inspection cells.

Workshop compatibility and practical benefits

Designed for routine shop and inspection use, the magnetic mount connects directly to standard stands and holders via the M8 interface, supporting a broad range of indicator types and fixtures. Its compact footprint preserves access to the component and makes it suitable for fixtures with limited clearance. By reducing set‑up time and improving fixturing stability, the device contributes to lower rework rates and smoother production control in maintenance, quality assurance and assembly operations.

FAQ

How strong is the magnetic holding force and what does it mean in practice?
The magnetic base provides a 60 kg nominal holding force; in practice this ensures stable fixture contact on ferrous surfaces for consistent measurement and reduced deflection during indicator readings.

Can the base be used on round shafts and how is it prevented from slipping?
Yes. The prism foot is designed to seat cylindrical parts securely, so the magnetic base holds round components without lateral movement when the magnet is engaged.

Which mounting thread is fitted and which accessories will attach?
The unit is fitted with an M8 threaded stud, compatible with standard indicator stems, articulated holders and many universal mounts used in metrology benches.
