Digital Dial Indicator M301.021 – 12.7 mm range, 0.01 mm resolution (Metav IndustryLine)

A Digital Dial Indicator M301.021 engineered for precise, short-range measurement tasks in workshop and laboratory quality control.

• Absolute measuring system with RB 6 output
• 12.7 mm range with 0.01 mm resolution
• Glass guide scale for improved scanning accuracy
• Compact, 0.29 kg workshop-ready instrument

Reliable short-range precision for routine quality checks

The instrument delivers a 0.01 mm reading step across a 0–12.7 mm measuring range, placing it firmly in the micro-range class for fine mechanical work. The absolute measuring system maintains position data even after power loss, reducing setup time and preventing cumulative zeroing errors. This combination of fine resolution and stable referencing supports repeatable inspections on small components, where consistent numerical results are essential for process control.

Seamless data capture to support traceability and process control

Equipped with an RB 6 data output and intuitive controls (ON/OFF, ORIGIN, PRESET, mm/inch), the device simplifies transfer of measurement results into inspection protocols and SPC systems. The absolute encoder principle means origin is retained and quick presets can be applied, so measurement sequences are faster and less error-prone. Clear digital indication and straightforward data export improve documentation and reduce manual transcription effort in quality workflows.

Consistent contact and accurate sensing for dependable results

A glass guide scale is used to enhance scanning accuracy, while a controlled measuring force of >1.2 N helps to reduce operator-induced variation. The mechanical design, paired with a lightweight build of 0.29 kg, makes the instrument stable in hand yet responsive at the probe tip, so single-point checks and comparative gauging remain consistent. These technical choices translate into higher first-pass conformity and fewer repeat measurements.

Compact form factor for tight fixtures and rapid checks

The compact dimensions and low weight make this gauge suitable for confined setups, bench fixtures, and mobile inspection stations. The digital display with unit toggle (mm/inch) and preset functions speeds up routine tasks and shortens the measurement cycle. In environments where small parts must be checked frequently, the instrument increases throughput without compromising measurement quality, contributing to a smoother production flow.
