Parallel support pair M318.238.18 – 125 mm, hardened special steel (Metav IndustryLine)

The Parallel support pair M318.238.18 is a precision-machined pair of parallels for stable workpiece support and repeatable set-ups in machining and inspection environments.

• Hardened, finely ground special steel
• Height tolerance ±0.01 mm
• 125 mm length for stable support
• Manufactured to DIN ISO 2768

Reduced set-up time through consistent support

Made from special steel, finely ground and hardened, these parallels offer a reliable contact surface that minimises wear and maintains alignment during repeated use. The specified ±0.01 mm height tolerance limits variation between mating surfaces, which reduces the need for corrective adjustments and lowers the risk of rework. As a result, fixture set-ups become more predictable and cycle times can be shortened without compromising accuracy. The combination of material hardness and ground faces ensures long service life under standard workshop conditions.

Stable dimensions that improve machining accuracy

With a length of 125 mm and a cross-section of 10 x 18 mm, the pair provides a balance of reach and rigidity suited to common workshop tasks. The matched pair design guarantees parallelism between supports, so workpieces are held square and true in vices or on machine tables. In everyday terms, parallels act as simple, low-maintenance spacers that lift and support components at a controlled height, enabling precise milling, drilling or inspection operations while protecting reference surfaces from damage.

Conformance and traceability for dependable results

Production to DIN ISO 2768 and the close machining tolerances reflect a manufacturing focus on reproducibility and interchangeability. The article is supplied as a matched pair under SKU M318.238.18 and shows a compact weight of 0.35 kg, making handling straightforward while still offering robust support. The measured flatness and hardness characteristics translate into consistent measurement and machining outcomes, supporting quality control procedures and reducing variability between batches.
