Measuring probe for dial gauge — cylinder stem 20 mm, 2.5 mm ball, M2.5 thread (Metav IndustryLine)

The Measuring probe for dial gauge, cylinder 20 mm with 2.5 mm ball, M2.5 thread is a compact accessory designed to provide precise contact in constrained measuring situations and for comparative measurements with standard dial indicators.

• Cylinder stem, 20 mm overall length
• Ball tip diameter 2.5 mm for point contact
• Threaded connection M2.5 for easy mounting
• Lightweight 0.1 kg for sensitive gauges

Compact contact tip for tight measuring spaces

The short cylinder stem with a 20 mm overall length makes this accessory ideal for measurements where access is limited or where a long probe would introduce bending error. A 2.5 mm ball tip concentrates contact on a defined point, reducing contact area and contact-induced deformation when checking small features. In practice, the short geometry improves handling and reduces the lever arm that can amplify operator-induced errors, delivering more consistent comparative readings on small components and assemblies.

Consistent contact geometry for repeatable results

A spherical contact surface creates a predictable point of contact that simplifies interpretation of comparative measurements, increasing repeatability across successive readings. The accessory mates to dial indicators via the standard M2.5 thread, ensuring a secure mechanical interface and minimising wobble or play at the contact point. The combination of small ball tip and rigid cylinder stem helps transfer surface information reliably to the measuring instrument, supporting quality checks where small deviations matter.

Straightforward mounting and workshop integration

Standardised M2.5 thread attachment enables fast changes between probes and easy retrofitting to most dial gauges that accept this connection size. Because the accessory is categorised as workshop accessory and weighs only 0.1 kg, it is simple to handle during set-up and changeover, keeping inspection throughput efficient. For workshop managers and metrology technicians seeking compact, dependable contact tips for comparative measurement processes, this probe fits naturally into existing dial indicator fleets and inspection routines.

FAQ

Which dial indicators fit this probe?
This probe fits dial gauges and dial indicators that accept an M2.5 connection; check the instrument's mounting thread to confirm compatibility with SKU M208.184.1.

What is the purpose of the 2.5 mm ball tip?
The 2.5 mm ball tip provides a defined point contact that reduces surface deformation and yields repeatable comparative readings when used with a dial gauge.

Can the probe be used for internal and external measurements?
The compact cylinder geometry is primarily intended for external point contact and comparative checks; adaptation for specialised internal fixtures depends on the gauge setup.

Is this accessory suitable for precision workshop tasks?
Designed as a precise contact tip for dial indicators, the accessory supports routine workshop metrology where a short stem and small ball contact improve handling and repeatability.
