Spring external divider, 300 mm — spring-loaded external caliper by Metav IndustryLine

Spring external divider, 300 mm is a spring-loaded external caliper designed for precise layout and marking tasks across metalworking and general workshop applications, offering a reliable balance of reach and stiffness.

• Hardened steel construction
• 300 mm measuring range
• Complies with DIN 6487

Persistent, shop-ready durability for routine layout work

The spring external divider is manufactured from hardened steel, giving the instrument a wear-resistant surface and stable geometry that reduces the need for frequent rework. The hardened material resists deformation during repeated scribing and layout tasks, so marks remain consistent over time. The tool’s compact mass of 0.3 kg provides a tactile balance that aids one-handed handling while keeping the centre of gravity close to the workpiece, which benefits repeatability when transferring dimensions.

Practical reach and stiffness for everyday workshop dimensions

With a total length of 300 mm, this divider fits the standard measuring range widely used in machine shops and metalworking. That range is intentionally chosen to combine reach with sufficient rigidity, which helps avoid flex and measurement drift on medium-sized components such as housings, flanges and fixture parts. The spring mechanism keeps the jaws engaged with controlled force for secure positioning, supporting steady marking even on tougher materials. Compliance with DIN 6487 confirms the product’s suitability for consistent layout procedures under recognised workshop standards.

Clear advantages for production and maintenance environments

Designed for repeatable performance, the spring-loaded action simplifies frequent set-ups and reduces hand fatigue during extended use. The straightforward mechanical design requires minimal maintenance and is tolerant of rough handling typical at the shop bench. As a result, the instrument lends itself to applications where speed and reliability are essential: preparing parts for machining, transferring bolt-hole spacing or checking spacing during assembly. The combination of simple mechanics and robust material selection supports long service life and low total cost of ownership.
