M208.160 Measuring Tip for Dial Indicator — 2 mm Ball, M2.5 Thread (Metav IndustryLine)

The M208.160 measuring tip serves as a compact contact insert for dial indicators with an M2.5 connection thread, featuring a 2 mm ball for precise point contact in confined measurement tasks

• 2 mm ball contact for fine point measurement
• Standard M2.5 connection for broad compatibility
• Compact design for tight or recessed features
• Lightweight 0.1 kg for minimal measurement influence

Precise contact for repeatable readings

The measuring insert provides a 2 mm ball contact that concentrates force into a defined point, reducing contact ambiguity on small features and edges. This characteristic supports repeatable readings when inspecting pins, grooves or small radii where larger contacts would bridge gaps or disturb the part. The compact geometry also helps to keep the contact moment low, which is beneficial where the gauge arm or fixture has limited stiffness.

Seamless compatibility with standard indicator threads

Fitted with an M2.5 thread, the insert mates with a wide range of commercial dial indicators and mechanical gauges that accept this interface. The standard connection simplifies tool inventory: fewer adaptors are required and changeovers are faster, improving workflow efficiency in measuring stations. Traceability and part selection are straightforward thanks to the clear interface specification.

Compact accessory that aids delicate measuring tasks

Weighing only 0.1 kg, the accessory adds negligible mass to the indicator assembly and minimises dynamic effects during probing. The small footprint makes it suited for confined or recessed measurement points where bulkier contacts cannot reach. For workshop technicians and quality inspectors who must measure micro features or work in fixtures, this insert offers a practical balance of accessibility and measurement focus.

FAQ

What kinds of dial indicators fit this insert?
The M208.160 measuring tip is compatible with dial indicators and mechanical gauges that use an M2.5 connection thread; Metav IndustryLine specifies the interface as M2.5 to ensure broad compatibility.

Can the insert be used for internal and external contact points?
Yes, the small 2 mm ball contact is suitable for precise external point contact and can be used in tight internal features where access allows; the compact shape helps reach recessed zones.

Is special calibration required after fitting the measuring tip?
Fitting the insert does not change the basic function of the dial indicator, but a quick zero check and functional test are recommended after assembly to verify repeatability and seating of the connection.
