M208.164 — Dial gauge probe insert with 2 mm ball and M2.5 thread (Metav IndustryLine)

The M208.164 is a dial gauge probe insert featuring a 2 mm spherical tip and an M2.5 connection thread, designed for precise contact measurement on small radii and compatible with dial gauges that accept an M2.5 fitting

• 2 mm spherical contact tip
• M2.5 standard connection
• Accessory for dial gauge measurements

Repeatable contact for small radii and fillets

The compact 2 mm ball contact concentrates force on a small area, which reduces indentation and helps to achieve consistent contact points on tight radii or fine features. As a consequence, readings become more reproducible when inspecting miniature components or detailed surfaces. The standard M2.5 thread ensures mechanical compatibility with a wide range of dial gauges that accept this connection, enabling quick swaps without adapter work. This focused design supports efficient in-process checks where space and repeatability matter.

Fast integration into established inspection routines

Designed as a straightforward accessory, the probe insert fits typical dial gauge fittings and restores the original contact geometry after wear or change of measurement task. The low mass and compact geometry reduce inertial effects during rapid probing cycles, which helps to maintain the indicator’s dynamic behaviour and avoids added measurement uncertainty. In practice, this means less downtime for set-up and a reliable replacement solution for calibration and routine quality control.

Small part, measurable benefits for quality control

Although simple in form, the insert contributes directly to measurement confidence and traceable inspection routines. Using a defined spherical tip simplifies comparative measurements on small features and supports consistent process control in assembly or finishing operations. For procurement and aftersales, Metav IndustryLine provides access to a broad spare-part range and professional advice, reinforcing dependable supply chains for routine workshop maintenance and serial inspection.

FAQ

What type of contact tip does this insert use?
The insert uses a 2 mm spherical contact tip that provides a defined contact point for measurements on small radii; the M208.164 is specified for such fine-contact tasks.

Which dial gauges are compatible with this probe insert?
Compatibility is defined by the thread: the M208.164 fits dial gauges with an M2.5 connection thread and is intended as a direct replacement or spare contact.

Is the insert supplied with a calibration certificate?
The M208.164 is an accessory part; calibration certificates are generally associated with the measuring instrument rather than individual probe tips unless explicitly stated by the gauge manufacturer.

Can this contact be used on delicate surfaces?
The small spherical tip reduces contact area and concentrates force; for very delicate surfaces, check the indicator and application to avoid surface marking, and consider appropriate probe geometry.

How should worn or damaged inserts be replaced?
Replace the worn tip by unscrewing the existing insert from the dial gauge’s M2.5 thread and fitting the M208.164; verify seating and zero the indicator before use.
