Measuring insert for dial gauge — Ball Ø 3 mm, thread M2.5 (Metav IndustryLine)

Measuring insert for dial gauge — Ball Ø 3 mm, thread M2.5 is a compact contact tip designed for precise point measurements with standard dial indicators; suited to fine-detail and small-surface inspection.

• Ball contact Ø 3 mm
• Thread M2.5 connection
• Compatible with standard dial indicators

Precise point contact for small and delicate surfaces

The compact 3 mm ball contact provides a defined point of contact that minimises surface damage while maintaining repeatable readings. Its geometry concentrates the contact area, which is advantageous when measuring small radii, thin-walled parts or delicate finishes; this results in consistent precision even on curved or uneven surfaces. The design reduces lateral play at the contact point, so the comparison reading on the dial indicator is less affected by slight misalignment. The measured outcome is therefore more reliable for inspection tasks where small deviations matter.

Simple mechanical compatibility for efficient workflows

Fitted with a standard M2.5 thread, the accessory ensures direct mechanical compatibility with many commercial dial indicators and test indicators that accept that connection size. The straightforward threaded mounting reduces changeover time and supports uninterrupted measurement sequences in the workshop. Labelling and SKU information such as SKU M208.165 and GTIN 4054469105178 help with inventory control and ordering traceability, supporting efficient procurement and stock management.

Robust workshop utility and application scope

As an accessory categorised under measuring-instrument accessories, the contact tip extends the versatility of an indicator set-up without altering the instrument’s measuring mechanism. It is suitable for comparative measurements, go/no-go checks on small features, and repeatability tests where a small contact radius is required. The compact form supports ease of access in confined measuring fixtures and jigs, making it a practical choice for precision workshops and quality-control benches that require quick, repeatable point contacts.
