Parallel support pair M318.237.08 — 5 × 8 mm cross-section, 100 mm length (Metav IndustryLine)

Parallel support pair for accurate elevation and reproducible reference faces in machining, inspection and clamping operations

• Precision-ground special steel
• Height tolerance ±0.01 mm
• Compact 5 × 8 mm cross-section
• 100 mm length for stable support

Repeatable accuracy for setup and measurement

Manufactured from precision-ground, hardened special steel, these parallels provide consistent reference faces that preserve alignment across repeated set‑ups. The specified height tolerance of ±0.01 mm addresses the typical demands of workshop metrology and fixture preparation, reducing the need for repetitive re‑alignment. By using hardened surfaces the risk of deformation under clamping pressure is minimised, which translates directly into fewer rejects and shorter set‑up times. For machinists and inspection technicians, the combination of surface quality and dimensional control supports reliable, reproducible work.

Stable support with compact geometry

The 5 × 8 mm cross-section and 100 mm length produce a low-profile yet rigid support that suits a broad range of vice and fixture arrangements. This geometry is particularly useful when workpieces require slight elevation for through‑coolant access, probe clearance or parallelism checks. The compact section keeps the contact area focused and the low mass aids quick repositioning on the bench or in a vice. In practice, the parallels act as dependable spacers and datum faces for milling, drilling, grinding and quality control tasks where consistent parallelism matters.

Workshop durability and standards conformity

Finished in a precision grind and heat-treated for wear resistance, these parallels meet practical workshop requirements for longevity and dimensional stability. Compliance with DIN ISO 2768 indicates adherence to general tolerances that support interchangeability in toolroom and production contexts. Lightweight handling and corrosion‑resistant behaviour inherent to the chosen steel grade help maintain accuracy over time with minimal maintenance. The product therefore supports efficient workflows by combining durability with the dimensional certainty required in everyday production and inspection routines.

FAQ

What level of accuracy can be expected from these parallels?
The parallels deliver a height tolerance of ±0.01 mm, making them suitable for precise workshop setup and routine inspection tasks where consistent reference surfaces are required.

Are these parallels suitable for use in a vice during machining?
Yes, the 5 × 8 mm cross-section and 100 mm length provide a stable support for clamping and machining applications; the hardened, precision-ground faces maintain parallelism under normal vice pressures.

What material are the parallels made from and how does that affect durability?
Constructed from special steel, precision-ground and hardened, the parallels resist deformation and exhibit good wear characteristics for extended workshop use.

Can the parallels be used for inspection and measurement set-ups?
The parallels are designed as reference supports for inspection and metrology tasks; their ±0.01 mm height tolerance supports repeatable measurements and reliable datum creation.

Is this article suitable for production fixtures or only for bench use?
The robust finish and dimensional control make the item appropriate for both bench‑level inspection and incorporation into production fixtures where small, stable elevation and parallel reference faces are required.
