100mm Parallel Stop 16mm Slot Width, Ground Hardened Special Steel, Supplied in Pairs - Metav IndustryLine

Reliable alignment and repeatable setups are delivered by a hardened, ground special steel construction with a tight height tolerance (IT5). Matched delivery in pairs and compatibility with 16 mm machine T‑slots (H8) make this stop a practical choice for fixture and clamping operations; order directly via Metav Werkzeuge or request advice from our consultants.

Parallel stop M318.245.1 — 16 x 40 x 100 mm, hardened special steel (Metav IndustryLine)

The Parallel stop M318.245.1 is a hardened, ground parallel block designed for precise positioning and repeatable clamping in machine T‑slots with a nominal slot width of 16 mm.

• Hardened, ground special steel construction
• Height tolerance IT5 for precise positioning
• Designed for 16 mm T‑slots (H8 fit)
• Supplied as matched pair for alignment

Precision alignment for repetitive setups

The block is engineered to deliver high repeatability when aligning workpieces in fixtures and jigs. Its nominal dimensions (length 100 mm, height 40 mm, thickness 16 mm) and the declared height tolerance IT5 with a nominal tolerance of 0/−0.02 mm mean positional variance is minimised during repeated seating and unclamping. This mechanical consistency reduces setup time and the need for corrective machining, supporting efficient production flows and measurable throughput improvements in assembly and machining cells.

Robust material and dimensional stability

Made from special steel, the component is both ground and hardened, combining surface flatness with wear resistance for prolonged service life. The hardened surface resists deformation under clamping forces, while the precision ground faces ensure a reliable contact geometry with parallelism and flatness needed for precise stops. These material choices support predictable long‑term behaviour, so calibration intervals and inspection routines can be planned with confidence and fewer uncontrolled downtimes.

Practical pairing and machine integration

Supplied as a matched pair, the stops are intended for side‑by‑side use to create a stable datum across a workpiece or fixture. Compatibility with machine T‑slots to tolerance H8 allows direct mounting without additional shims on standard slot profiles of 16 mm width, simplifying integration into existing clamping setups. The robust design and modest weight facilitate handling during changeovers, while the finished surfaces aid quick visual checks of wear and alignment in the shop environment.
