Measuring insert for dial indicator — 30 mm flat contact plate, M2.5 thread (Metav IndustryLine)

The measuring insert for dial indicator with a 30 mm flat contact plate and M2.5 connection thread is an accessory designed to provide a broad, stable measuring face for comparative and reference measurements in workshop and inspection tasks.

• 30 mm flat contact plate
• M2.5 connection thread
• Compatible with M2.5 dial indicators
• Lightweight 0.1 kg

Stable contact face for repeatable indications

A larger, flat contact plate reduces local deformation at the point of contact and improves the repeatability of comparative measurements. The 30 mm diameter contact surface distributes force more evenly than a pin tip, which helps to avoid small tilts and lateral movements that can corrupt an indication. This results in more consistent readings when checking flat surfaces, reference faces or calibrated standards, improving throughput and lowering the risk of rework due to ambiguous measurements.

Fast fitting and reliable compatibility

The standard M2.5 connection thread ensures straightforward attachment to dial indicators designed for that interface. The mechanical simplicity of the connection means minimal downtime during tool changes or retrofits and is suitable for common indicator stems in inspections and assembly lines. Compatibility with instruments specified for an M2.5 fitting reduces procurement complexity and simplifies inventory management for spare parts.

Workshop-ready, low-mass design that preserves instrument dynamics

At approximately 0.1 kg, the insert provides a lightweight solution that maintains the dynamic response of the measuring instrument while offering the benefit of a broader contact area. The low mass helps to prevent overloading of delicate indicator mechanisms and reduces oscillation during measurement cycles. As an accessory classified under measuring-instrument supplies, it is ideal for routine inspection tasks where handling comfort and minimal influence on instrument behaviour matter.

FAQ

Which dial indicators are compatible with this contact plate?
The measuring insert is compatible with dial indicators that accept an M2.5 connection thread; the product reference is M208.178 from Metav IndustryLine.

Can this plate be used for comparative measurements on small components?
Yes, the 30 mm flat contact surface is intended for comparative and reference measurements where a stable, broad contact improves repeatability.

Does the insert affect the indicator’s dynamics?
The low mass (approximately 0.1 kg) keeps added inertia minimal, preserving the dynamic response of the dial indicator when the measuring insert is fitted.

Is the contact plate supplied with any additional mounting parts?
The product is delivered as the measuring insert itself; any required mounting or adapter components depend on the specific dial indicator stem and its existing fittings.
