Precise point contact for repeatable checks

The 6 mm ball contact delivers a clearly defined point of contact that helps reduce measurement variability when comparing features or checking runout. Matched to the industry-standard M2.5 thread, the insert allows fast replacement of worn tips and ensures consistent geometry at the measurement point. This stability supports efficient inspection routines by reducing rework and increasing throughput in repetitive tasks.

Quick compatibility with existing dial indicators

Designed specifically for dial gauges with an M2.5 mounting, the insert simplifies tooling logistics by offering direct compatibility with a broad range of contact stems. The threaded M2.5 connection provides a secure mechanical fit that requires minimal setup, enabling rapid tool changes during multi-operation measuring sequences. Clear compatibility reduces downtime and the need for adapters, making the accessory well suited to busy workshop environments.

Practical accessory for everyday metrology tasks

As an accessory in the metrology toolbox, this measuring insert supports a variety of routine uses—from comparative checks to spot measurements on components and assemblies. The spherical geometry aids in locating contact on curved or slightly angled surfaces, improving contact reliability without complex fixturing.
