Parallel blocks, pair – 2 x 5 mm, 100 mm length (Metav IndustryLine)

A pair of parallel blocks designed as stable reference supports for machining, inspection and layout tasks in machine and metalworking environments.

• Fine-ground, hardened special steel
• Height tolerance ±0.01 mm
• 100 mm length for stable set-ups
• Conforms to DIN ISO 2768

Precise reference surfaces for consistent set-ups

The pair of blocks offers hardened, fine-ground faces that serve as stable datum surfaces for workholding and inspection. Thanks to the special steel construction, the blocks resist deformation during clamping and light handling, which preserves alignment between operations. The specified height tolerance of ±0.01 mm ensures that stack-ups and parallels-based set-ups remain reproducible, reducing the need for repeated manual adjustments and saving production time.

Practical benefits in the workshop and inspection bay

Longer parallels provide greater support area; at 100 mm length these blocks balance rigidity and handling convenience. The geometry supports simple clamping scenarios on milling tables, drill presses and inspection benches, improving measurement repeatability. The compact pair is also suited for use as temporary spacers during assembly, offering a reliable, ground reference that shortens set-up times and reduces scrap rates in routine production.

Compliance and manufacturing quality that build trust

Manufactured to DIN ISO 2768 guidelines, the components reflect standardised dimensional control suitable for general industrial use. The care in finishing—fine grinding and hardening—delivers consistent surface quality and contact behaviour, which matters when parallel faces are used as functional datums. This standard conformity provides a verifiable basis for procurement decisions and simplifies integration into quality-controlled workflows.

Material properties and handling notes

Constructed from special steel, fine-ground and hardened, the pair combines wear resistance with stable contact characteristics. The low individual mass makes them easy to manoeuvre while remaining heavy enough to stay put during set-up. Because the surfaces are precision ground, avoid abrasive contact and store on a clean surface to maintain the ground finish; routine inspection of contact faces will preserve the nominal tolerance over repeated use.

FAQ

What are these parallel blocks used for?
They serve as stable reference supports for machining, inspection and layout tasks, providing reproducible datum faces for clamping and measurement with the Metav IndustryLine parallel blocks (SKU M318.237.05).

How precise are the block heights?
The height is manufactured to a tolerance of ±0.01 mm, making the pair suitable for precise set-ups where small stack-up errors must be minimised.

Which materials are the blocks suitable for supporting?
The blocks are made from special steel, fine-ground and hardened, intended as datum surfaces; they support common metalworking components during machining and inspection but are not a substitute for dedicated fixturing with very soft or abrasive materials.

Does the finish require special care?
Yes, the ground surfaces should be kept clean and free from abrasives to maintain the precision finish; regular visual checks will help ensure the tolerance remains consistent.

Are these blocks compliant with industry standards?
Manufacture follows DIN ISO 2768 practices for dimensional control, providing standardised quality suitable for workshop and inspection use.
