30mm Probe Tip R0.3 For Dial Indicator With M2.5 Thread - Metav IndustryLine

Take advantage of the combination of pinpoint R0.3 mm geometry, a 30 mm extension and standard M2.5 thread for reliable, low-downtime probe work with dial indicators; order directly via Metav Werkzeuge or contact our specialists for matching accessories and installation advice.

Contact tip 'Point' — precise probe for dial indicators, R0.3 mm, M2.5

Contact tip 'Point' designed as a precision probe insert for dial indicators with an M2.5 connection, supplying a fine contact radius for measurements in confined or delicate areas.

Pinpoint R0.3 mm tip for fine measurements
M2.5 thread compatible with standard indicators
30 mm length for extended reach
Lightweight 0.1 kg for minimal inertia

Precision where it counts: pinpoint contact with a controlled radius

The R0.3 mm tip profile delivers pinpoint accuracy for measurements where contact area matters, such as small bores, edges and fine features. A small contact radius reduces the effective contact area and therefore the risk of local deformation on soft or delicate surfaces, which yields more repeatable readings on sensitive workpieces. The nominal 0.6 mm diameter and slim probe geometry are optimised to minimise shadowing and allow access into tight positions while maintaining a clear mechanical reference for the indicator's spindle.

Quick compatibility and simple replacement to reduce downtime

Equipped with a standard M2.5 thread, this probe insert is intended for dial indicators that accept M2.5 connection threads and supports fast interchangeability during inspection cycles. The standardised thread and 30 mm overall length ensure that the insert can be replaced or swapped for different tip styles without special tools, helping to keep inspection throughput high. Using standard fittings reduces inventory complexity and shortens machine or gauge turnaround times in quality-control environments.

Practical handling and application benefits for everyday workshop use

At a total length of 30 mm and a weight of 0.1 kg, the probe insert offers an advantageous balance between reach and handling stability: long enough to access recessed features, yet light enough to avoid adding significant inertia that could influence delicate measurements. The accessory is categorised as a gauge probe for routine and specialised measuring tasks in metrology benches and production test stations. Its compact form supports use in precision assembly, toolmaking and component inspection where repeatability and clear mechanical engagement are required.

FAQ

Is this probe insert compatible with all dial indicators?
The probe insert is compatible with dial indicators that have a connection thread of M2.5; the contact tip 'Point' (M208.196.2) was designed to fit standard M2.5 fittings used on many metric dial indicators.

What measurement tasks suit the R0.3 mm tip?
The R0.3 mm geometry of this insert is ideal for fine-detail contact work such as small bore checks, edge measurements and delicate surface checks where minimised contact area improves repeatability.

How is the insert installed and secured?
Installation uses the standard M2.5 thread: screw the insert into the indicator's probe connection and hand-tighten; for consistent results, ensure the mating thread is clean and the indicator spindle is returned to its rest position before use.

Can the insert be used on hardened or fragile materials?
The small contact radius reduces surface load and is therefore well suited to fragile parts; for very hard or abrasive materials, selection of a dedicated tip material is recommended — consult Metav Werkzeuge for compatible tip materials and alternatives.

Is the SKU M208.196.2 the correct reference when ordering?
Yes, please reference M208.196.2 when enquiring or ordering to ensure the exact Metav IndustryLine contact tip 'Point' is supplied.
