M208.166 Contact tip for dial indicator — 4 mm ball, M2.5 thread (Metav IndustryLine)

The M208.166 is a precision contact tip designed for dial indicators with an M2.5 connection thread, providing defined point contact for dimensional checks on small features in workshop and inspection environments.

• 4 mm precision contact ball
• M2.5 connection thread for dial indicators
• Compact accessory for quick retrofit
• Lightweight 0.1 kg for easy handling

Repeatable measurements with a defined contact point

The small 4 mm ball geometry creates a defined contact area that reduces measurement ambiguity when probing small radii or shoulders. Fitted via the standard M2.5 thread, the accessory integrates into existing gauge setups without adapters, enabling precision checks to be performed repeatedly. The compact design keeps measurement dynamics predictable and helps preserve instrument responsiveness during frequent point-contact tests.

Fast compatibility that keeps inspection workflows moving

Engineered as a direct accessory for standard dial indicators, the tip simplifies retrofitting and reduces downtime during tool changes. Its compact form factor and lightweight 0.1 kg mass make handling straightforward, particularly when multiple checks are required across a production run. The accessory supports efficient measurement sequences, making it practical for quality-control benches and mobile inspection tasks where quick interchangeability is valuable.

Clear benefit for small-feature and routine dimensional control

By providing a precisely shaped contact element, the tip improves repeatability on small components and helps to standardise routine checks across operators and shifts. The accessory suits common inspection tasks such as verifying bore seats, shaft runout and small-step heights where a small, reproducible contact point is essential. As a simple spare or replacement part, it contributes to overall process reliability and smoother quality-control cycles.
