Take advantage of the spherical 10 mm contact geometry and the universally compatible M2.5 thread to ensure reliable, repeatable contact for dial gauge measurements; order the accessory directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult our specialists for application advice.

M208.161 – Spherical contact tip for dial gauge, Ø10 mm, M2.5 thread (Metav IndustryLine)

The M208.161 is a spherical measuring insert designed for dial gauges with an M2.5 connection, delivering stable point contact for workshop and inspection tasks.

• Spherical contact tip Ø10 mm
• Fits dial gauges with M2.5 thread
• Precision accessory for repeatable readings
• Compact design for confined measuring spaces

Reliable point contact for consistent results

The spherical contact tip provides a defined point of contact that reduces surface abrasion and helps maintain a consistent measurement reference, which is essential when comparing repeat measurements. With a Ø10 mm geometry, the insert concentrates contact forces reliably without large contact-area variability, improving repeatability on slightly curved or uneven workpiece surfaces. This mechanical simplicity supports efficient throughput in quality control routines while keeping measurement uncertainty low.

Simple compatibility and fast replacement

Designed for dial gauges with an M2.5 connection, the insert is straightforward to fit and replace, minimising downtime during inspection cycles. The compact form factor suits confined measuring positions and fixtures where larger probes would obstruct access. Its low mass contributes to minimal influence on the indicator’s moving system, preserving the instrument’s responsiveness and ensuring stable pointer behaviour during both static and light dynamic checks.

Practical benefits across workshop and inspection use

As an accessory for precision measuring instruments, this insert enhances everyday metrology tasks by enabling reliable contact on small features, radii and step measurements. The component supports a structured measurement workflow: quick exchangeability reduces setup time, the spherical tip aids alignment on rounded edges, and the rugged, no-frills design fits established inspection processes. Use with standard dial gauges in machine shops, toolrooms and incoming inspection to raise the consistency of comparative checks.
