Measuring insert with tip for caliper adapter – R0.5 × 2 × 40 mm, 70 mm shank (Metav IndustryLine)

The measuring insert combines a fine rounded tip geometry with a 70 mm mounting shank for accurate access to deep features and a stable hold in caliper adapters.

• Fine rounded tip R0.5 for precise contact
• 70 mm shank for stable mounting
• Compatible with caliper adapters
• Suited for recessed and deep-point measurement

Accuracy where access is restricted

The finely formed R0.5 tip gives a small, defined contact area that reduces positional ambiguity when probing narrow bores, steps or recesses. By concentrating contact force through a small radius, the probe minimises lateral play and improves repeatability compared with blunt probes. The geometry labelled R0.5 × 2 × 40 mm indicates a tip radius of 0.5 mm with a shaft section suitable for confined spaces, making the insert particularly useful when standard jaws cannot reach. This results in faster inspection cycles and fewer rejected parts due to measurement uncertainty.

Reliable mounting and workshop compatibility

A 70 mm shank and Ø5 mounting interface ensure the insert seats securely in commercially available caliper adapters and fixtures. The compact mass (approx. 0.05 kg) keeps the centre of gravity close to the adapter, reducing vibration and lever effects during manual measuring operations. As an accessory for analogue calipers, the probe integrates without electronics or data output, preserving the simplicity of traditional measuring workflows while extending the application range of existing tools. The robust design supports frequent in‑shop use and straightforward replacement when wear occurs.

Practical benefits for quality control and inspection

Designed as a practical metrology accessory, the insert shortens set‑up time for hard‑to‑reach checks and reduces the need for special fixturing. The product is categorised as measurement accessory and is intended to complement standard caliper equipment, improving the handling of recessed surfaces without altering the primary instrument. For specific measurement tasks or compatibility checks with a particular caliper adapter, Metav IndustryLine technical staff can provide guidance on fit and suitability to ensure the insert meets inspection requirements.

FAQ

What is the intended use of this insert?
The measuring insert is intended for deep or recessed point measurements where standard caliper jaws cannot reach; it fits into caliper adapters to extend measurement capability.

Which calipers or adapters are compatible with the insert?
Compatibility depends on the adapter's mounting interface; the insert uses a Ø5 mm shank and is suitable for common caliper adapters designed to accept this diameter.

Is the tip suitable for contact with soft surfaces?
The R0.5 rounded geometry is small and precise; it reduces indentation risk compared with sharper probes but care is advised on very soft materials to avoid surface marking.

Can the insert be used with digital calipers?
The insert is a mechanical accessory; it can be used with calipers that accept the Ø5 shank, including digital models that have suitable adapters, but the insert itself provides no electronic output.

How does the insert affect measurement repeatability?
By providing a defined contact radius and a stable 70 mm shank, the probe improves positional consistency for recessed features, supporting more repeatable results in routine inspections.
