Dial gauge contact insert — ball Ø5 mm, M2.5 thread (Metav IndustryLine)

A Dial gauge contact insert with a 5 mm ball and M2.5 thread for precise contact measurement on standard dial indicators

• 5 mm precision ball contact tip
• M2.5 thread for secure mounting
• Smooth contact to reduce surface marking
• Compact, durable design for repeatability

Precision contact for repeatable tactile measuring results

The Dial gauge contact insert, ball Ø5 mm, M2.5 thread provides a consistently defined contact geometry that improves measurement repeatability when used with compatible dial indicators. The spherical contact concentrates the probing point while limiting contact area, which helps to reduce local surface deformation and provides a stable measuring interface. This results in reduced variability between successive readings and supports dependable process control in workshop and inspection environments.

Easy adaptation and robust fitment for routine metrology tasks

Machined to fit a standard M2.5 thread, the contact insert can be mounted quickly to most dial indicators with an M2.5 mounting connection, offering a straightforward way to restore worn tips or to adapt an indicator for specific part geometries. The compact format and secure thread engagement ensure minimal play at the contact point, delivering repeatable contact under typical measuring forces and making the insert suitable for frequent use in production and quality‑control settings.

Reduced marking and application versatility for delicate surfaces

The spherical tip design moderates contact pressure concentration compared with sharper probes, which helps to minimise visible marks on sensitive workpiece surfaces during comparative or reference checks. This makes the insert appropriate for finishing inspections or measurements on softer materials where preserving surface integrity is important. Compatibility details and compact form factor make this accessory a practical addition to a metrology kit, enhancing the functional range of standard dial indicators without extensive modification.

FAQ

What types of dial indicators are compatible with this insert?
Compatibility is for dial indicators that feature a M2.5 mounting thread; the insert is designed to screw directly into those standard connections.

Will the 5 mm ball tip damage delicate surfaces?
The spherical geometry reduces concentrated indentation compared with sharper probes, so the 5 mm ball is less likely to cause visible marks on softer materials during typical inspection use.

Is the insert supplied ready to use with calibration documentation?
The insert is supplied as an accessory; calibration documentation is not included unless specifically stated for a calibrated product. For traceable calibration options, please consult Metav Werkzeuge.
