Parallel blocks, pair, 14 x 42 mm, 150 mm length (Metav IndustryLine)

Parallel blocks designed for secure, repeatable workholding and precise inspection in machine shops and toolrooms

• Hardened, finely ground special steel
• Height tolerance ±0.01 mm
• 150 mm length for stable support
• 14 x 42 mm compact cross-section

Reliable support that preserves alignment and measurement integrity

These parallels are manufactured from special steel, finely ground and hardened, producing a surface and body geometry that keeps workpieces square and reproducible during machining and inspection. The height tolerance of ±0.01 mm ensures that setups remain consistent between shifts and across batches, reducing rework and measurement uncertainty. Because the surfaces are ground, contact faces present a true, low-friction plane that minimises micro-movement under cutting or clamping loads. For bench checks, milling fixturing or inspection jigs, this stability translates into fewer layout errors and more predictable process capability.

Compact form with high stiffness for everyday workshop use

With a cross-section of 14 x 42 mm and a nominal length of 150 mm, the design balances stiffness and accessibility: the slim profile fits tight vises and narrow fixture spaces while the length delivers a broad bearing surface for larger components. The pair format supports parallel clamping and stable elevation of shafts, housings or workpieces for under-fixturing and height-setting tasks. The hardened construction resists deformation and wear, so the supports retain their geometry under regular workshop use, helping to protect both the workpiece and measuring equipment during repetitive operations.

Standards, traceability and integration into quality workflows

The production adheres to DIN ISO 2768m general tolerances, aligning the parts with typical workshop and toolroom requirements and easing their integration into existing inspection and fixturing processes. Lightweight yet robust at 1.15 kg, the components are easy to position while remaining rigid in service. The compact supports are suitable for use in machining set-ups, measuring benches and assembly fixtures where consistent parallelism and repeatability are required. Clear material specification and measured tolerances support documented quality routines and make these parts suitable for both small-series production and department-level quality control.

FAQ

What materials are these parallels made from and how does that affect durability?
The parallels are made from special steel, finely ground and hardened, which gives the Metav IndustryLine paralleI supports (SKU M318.239.42) high wear resistance and stable geometry for repeated workshop use.

What accuracy can be expected during routine setups?
Height tolerance is specified at ±0.01 mm, which ensures repeatable alignment for typical machine-shop and inspection tasks using these parallels.

Are these parallels suitable for use in inspection jigs and fixturing?
Yes, the combination of ground surfaces and hardened material makes the pair well suited for inspection benches, assembly fixtures and as under-supports in machining set-ups.

How does the 14 x 42 mm profile influence application?
The compact 14 x 42 mm cross-section allows entry into narrow vises and tight fixture spaces while the 150 mm length provides a stable bearing area for larger components.

Do these parallels comply with any tolerance standards?
Production follows DIN ISO 2768m general tolerances, which supports integration into standard quality-control processes and reduces ambiguity during part selection.
