150 mm Parallel Gauge Pair 8x16 mm, Hardened Fine-Ground Special Steel, Height Tolerance ±0.01 mm, DIN ISO 2768 - Metav IndustryLine

Combine the hardened, finely ground special steel construction with a height tolerance of ±0.01 mm to ensure a stable reference plane and repeatable set-ups in the workshop; order the parallels directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult our specialists for batch or application advice.

Metav IndustryLine parallel supports, pair – 8 x 16 mm, 150 mm

The Parallel supports, pair, 8 x 16 mm, 150 mm are a matched set of hardened and finely ground parallels designed to provide stable datum surfaces for machining set-up and inspection in general metalworking and toolroom environments.

• Hardened and finely ground special steel
• Height tolerance ±0.01 mm for repeatability
• 150 mm length for stable workpiece support
• Supplied as a matched pair for symmetrical set-up

Consistent datum surfaces that shorten set-up time

The matched pair provides two parallel datum surfaces that simplify clamping and fixturing. Made from special steel, finely ground and hardened, the supports maintain flatness under clamping force, which reduces re‑alignment during multi‑operation jobs. The 150 mm length and compact 8 × 16 mm cross section deliver a balance of reach and rigidity, so fixtures sit squarely and tools engage predictably. This stability translates into fewer rejected parts and less time spent on corrective adjustments.

Precision that keeps machining tolerances stable

A specified height tolerance of ±0.01 mm guarantees repeatable results when establishing reference heights for milling, grinding or inspection. The narrow tolerance makes these supports suitable for work where small deviations affect fit or surface finish. Because the datum faces are ground and hardened, wear is minimised and measurement drift over repeated use is reduced, supporting consistent quality across production runs and shortening the measurement loop between set-up and verification.

Practical design for everyday workshop versatility

Supplied as a matched pair, the supports are ideal for symmetrical set-ups, spacer applications and v‑block complements. The 8 × 16 mm cross section fits common clamping slots and parallels pockets, while the modest weight (0.25 kg) eases handling and rapid repositioning. Conformance to DIN ISO 2768 ensures dimensional consistency within general machining tolerances, so these supports integrate smoothly into established workflows and jigging systems without the need for bespoke adjustments.

FAQ

What applications are these parallel supports best suited for?
These parallels are designed for machine‑tool set‑ups, inspection fixtures and general workshop fixturing where a hardened, flat reference surface is required; the Metav IndustryLine parallels (M318.239.16) suit small to medium‑sized workpieces.

How precise are the datum faces of the parallels?
The height tolerance of the parallels is ±0.01 mm, giving repeatable reference heights for precision set‑ups and reducing the need for frequent re‑calibration.

Are the parallels supplied as single items or as a matched set?
The product is supplied as a matched pair, enabling symmetrical fixturing and straightforward alignment in jigs and v‑blocks.

What material and surface finish do the supports have?
Manufactured from special steel, the datum faces are finely ground and hardened to improve wear resistance and maintain flatness under clamping.

Do the parallels conform to an industry standard?
The supports conform to DIN ISO 2768, making them compatible with common machining tolerances and workshop practices.
