Parallel supports, pair M318.237.13 — 100 mm, 5 x 13 mm, hardened special steel (Metav IndustryLine)

Parallel supports, pair M318.237.13 are precision fixturing aids for workshop and toolroom setups, designed to give stable and repeatable support for workpieces during inspection and machining.

• Hardened, finely ground special steel
• Height tolerance ±0.01 mm
• 100 mm length for stable support
• Delivered as a matched pair

Stable support for consistent set-ups

The parallels serve as a solid base for clamping and inspection tasks: manufactured from hardened, finely ground special steel, the supports provide a flat, wear‑resistant surface that resists deformation under clamping forces. The rectangular cross‑section of 5 x 13 mm and the 100 mm rail length give an optimal balance between stiffness and accessibility, making these parallels suitable for small to medium components in fixture construction and routine quality checks. The result is reduced setup time and fewer re‑measurements, which benefits throughput and process reliability.

Tight tolerance and compliance for precision work

With a height tolerance of ±0.01 mm, these parallels meet demanding requirements for alignment and stacking in inspection jigs. The manufacturing process complies with DIN ISO 2768, which ensures dimensional consistency across production batches. For users accustomed to mechanical measuring standards, the specified tolerance places the product firmly within high‑precision workshop practice, enabling accurate stacking and reference planes without the need for additional dressing or matching.

Practical benefits in the workshop

Supplied as a matched pair, the parallels are ready for immediate use in vices, on surface plates or within custom fixtures. The fine grinding finish minimises burrs and surface irregularities, improving contact accuracy and reducing marking on delicate components. Because the supports are compact and robust, they are easy to position and remove during rapid changeovers, supporting lean workflows in both small shops and larger production cells. The design also eases storage and handling while preserving measurement integrity.

Material performance and longevity

The use of a specialised, hardened steel grade gives these supports a long service life under regular clamping conditions. The fine ground surface is optimised for repeatable contact and wear resistance, lowering the total cost of ownership by reducing replacement frequency. For applications where consistent reference planes are critical—such as gauge setups, manual milling preparation or assembly checks—the combination of material and finish sustains accuracy over repeated cycles.
