Measuring tip M208.180 — Dial indicator contact with 2.5 mm ball and M2.5 thread (Metav IndustryLine)

The Measuring tip M208.180 is a precision contact designed for use with dial indicators that have an M2.5 connection, providing a defined point of contact for repeatable small-feature measurements.

• Precision 2.5 mm ball contact
• Standard M2.5 threaded mount
• Compatible with M2.5 dial indicators

Accurate point contact for reliable readings

The small 2.5 mm ball at the tip provides a defined single-point contact that reduces measurement variability on small features. Fitted to a dial indicator with a matching M2.5 thread, the contact tip converts the instrument into a consistent probe for surface, edge and point checks. For routine inspection tasks this geometry minimises contact area and limits surface marking, which in turn maintains part integrity while delivering repeatable readings. The clear mechanical function of a spherical tip is easy to understand even for technicians with limited metrology training, translating directly into fewer rejected parts and shorter inspection loops.

Fast fitment and compatibility to keep processes moving

A threaded M2.5 connection follows a common workshop standard, enabling quick replacement or interchange between instruments without the need for adapters. The accessory category and compact dimensions make the component suitable for tight fixturing and confined measuring positions where larger probes would be impractical. Thanks to the standardised mount, downtime is reduced during tool changes and the inspection chain remains uninterrupted. In production environments where throughput and uptime matter, such direct compatibility supports efficient process flows and consistent quality control.

Practical applications and confidence through provenance

Typical applications include spot checks on small machined features, comparative checks during serial inspection and use as a reference contact for bench measuring tasks. Classified as an accessory for measuring instruments, the component is part of a quality-conscious supply approach: Metav IndustryLine offers a focused selection of standardised attachments that simplify purchasing and ensure compatibility with dial indicators used across workshops and inspection benches. This pragmatic availability reflects Metav’s commitment to making precise measurement accessible and reliable for professional users.

FAQ

Is the measuring tip compatible with all dial indicators?
Compatibility depends on the connection thread; the measuring tip fits dial indicators with an M2.5 threaded connection, such as those commonly used in workshop and laboratory indicators.

How does the 2.5 mm ball affect measurement results?
The 2.5 mm ball provides a defined single-point contact that reduces contact variability, improving repeatability for small-feature checks and limiting surface deformation during inspection.

Can the tip be used for both external and internal measurements?
The geometry is intended for point contact tasks; when mounted on a dial indicator with appropriate fixturing, it can be used for external point checks and certain internal applications where access and alignment permit reliable contact.
