Measuring insert M208.183 — 3 mm ball, M2.5 thread (Metav IndustryLine)

Measuring insert M208.183 for dial indicators, offering a small-diameter 3 mm ball contact and an M2.5 connection for secure mounting; ideal as a replacement tip or spare accessory in inspection and shop-floor settings

• Compact 3 mm contact ball for fine detail
• Standard M2.5 connection for broad compatibility
• Cylinder‑10 profile for consistent contact geometry

Precise contact for small or detailed measurements

The finely shaped 3 mm ball provides a small contact area that reduces measurement disturbance on narrow or curved surfaces while maintaining stable probing behaviour. Fitted to a cylinder‑10 body, the insert preserves the geometry required for repeatable contact points on a range of workpieces. Designed as a dedicated contact tip for mechanical dial gauges and digital indicators, the accessory supports precision measurement tasks where small radii and confined features must be checked reliably.

Easy integration with standard dial indicators

With a common M2.5 thread, this insert is compatible with many indicator stems and contact holders used in metrology benches and workshop fixtures. The standardised connection simplifies replacement and reduces downtime during inspection routines. Lightweight construction keeps the indicator’s dynamics unchanged, ensuring that the instrument’s reading behaviour remains stable and that the measurement chain continues to deliver consistent results.

Robust accessory for everyday workshop use

Although compact, the insert is intended as a practical spare part for routine inspection work. The small roller/ball contact is suited to visual inspection tasks and tactile checks where a precise, defined contact point is required. As a readily swappable tip, it allows maintenance of a measurement fleet with minimal effort, contributing to uninterrupted quality control and efficient workshop workflows.
