M208.170 measuring contact for dial gauge — wedge tip, thread M2.5 (Metav IndustryLine)

M208.170 is a measuring contact for dial gauges, designed to provide a defined contact point for precise comparative and workshop measurements with a standard M2.5 threaded connection

• Threaded M2.5 connection for quick fitting
• Wedge tip for defined, repeatable contact
• Compatible with dial gauges having M2.5 thread
• Compact, lightweight design for easy handling

Consistent contact geometry for accurate repeatability

The wedge-point design delivers a single, well-defined contact geometry that minimises variation at the interface between gauge and workpiece. By providing a positive contact point, the accessory reduces ambiguity in contact positioning and improves repeatability across successive measurements. This stability supports faster decision-making in quality checks and reduces rework caused by inconsistent probe orientation, making it a practical addition to production and inspection benches.

Reliable integration with common dial indicators

Engineered for use with dial gauges that accept an M2.5 connecting thread, the component offers straightforward mechanical compatibility and fast installation. The thread M2.5 is a widely used standard in metrology accessories, so the contact tip fits readily into existing gauge setups without the need for adapters. Compatibility with standard fittings simplifies tool inventories and shortens changeover times, contributing to more efficient measurement routines in both workshop and lab environments.

Compact design that supports ergonomic handling

With a compact form and low mass, the contact tip keeps the gauge assembly balanced and easy to manoeuvre when measuring small features or intricate profiles. The reduced weight lowers inertial effects during fine adjustments and helps maintain a steady measurement posture, which is particularly valuable in repetitive inspection tasks. As a small but decisive accessory, it enhances the practical usability of a dial indicator without adding unnecessary bulk.

FAQ

What gauges are compatible with this contact tip?
The M208.170 measuring contact is compatible with dial gauges that have a connecting thread of M2.5 and is intended as a direct accessory for such indicators.

What benefit does a wedge tip provide compared with a spherical contact?
A wedge tip yields a clearly defined contact line or point that improves positional consistency during comparative measurements, supporting better repeatability than more rounded contacts in certain inspection tasks.

Is any special tool required to fit the contact?
Fitting is achieved by engaging the standard M2.5 thread of the dial gauge; no specialised tool is required beyond the usual gauge-handling implements.
