Parallel block pair M318.238.33 – 125 mm, 10 × 33 mm, hardened special steel (Metav IndustryLine)

A parallel block pair for precision workholding and inspection, offering stable reference faces and a narrow 10 × 33 mm cross-section over a 125 mm length for confined setups in machine and tool rooms.

• Hardened, fine-ground bearing faces
• Height tolerance ±0.01 mm
• Compact 10 × 33 mm cross-section
• Conforms to DIN ISO 2768

Precise support for repeatable setups

These precision parallels provide a reliable reference when clamping or inspecting components. The combination of hardened and fine-ground faces ensures low wear and long-term flatness, which translates into repeatable results across multiple clamping cycles. With a certified height tolerance of ±0.01 mm, the pair is suitable for tasks that demand consistent positioning rather than only coarse alignment. The compact cross-section (10 × 33 mm) and 125 mm length make them especially useful where space is limited but rigidity is still required.

Reduced setup time through dependable contact surfaces

Good bearing faces reduce the need for repeated adjustments. The ground surfaces distribute contact load evenly and minimise twist under clamping, so fixtures and workpieces remain stable during machining or inspection. The material—special steel—is treated to resist deformation and surface fatigue, which lowers maintenance effort and preserves reference geometry over time. As a pair, the blocks provide parallel support for workpieces or tooling seats, simplifying setup procedures and increasing throughput in routine workshop operations.

Designed for workshop and inspection environments

Manufactured to a tolerance class referenced by DIN ISO 2768, these parallels match common workshop quality expectations and integrate smoothly with existing jigs, vices and inspection benches. The compact form factor fits narrow vice jaws and supports long, thin parts without excessive overhang. The product is listed as a pair, so both supports are matched for height and surface finish, aiding in consistent measurement and machining across repeated jobs.

Durable construction for daily use

The fine grinding process produces flat, low-friction surfaces that resist scoring and abrasion; together with the hardened substrate, this extends service life under frequent use. The construction balances stiffness and handling: the blocks are substantial enough to provide support while remaining easy to position manually. For production shops seeking dependable, low-maintenance parallels, these components offer an economical route to improved accuracy and fewer setup errors.

FAQ

What materials are suitable to be supported on these parallels?
The parallel block pair M318.238.33 is made from hardened, fine-ground special steel and is suitable as stable supports for common workshop materials such as steel and aluminium; compatibility with exotic materials depends on the specific application and clamping forces.

Are the parallels matched for height and surface finish?
Yes, the two items are supplied as a pair and are finished to provide matching bearing faces for reproducible support and alignment during inspection or clamping operations.

How tight is the manufacturing tolerance and what does it mean in practice?
The blocks carry a height tolerance of ±0.01 mm, which indicates they are suitable for precise positioning tasks where consistent parallel support is required rather than ultra-high laboratory metrology.

Which standard governs the dimensional tolerances of these blocks?
Manufacture and tolerances reference DIN ISO 2768, aligning the parallels with common workshop tolerance classes for reliable integration into existing setups.
