Metav IndustryLine Parallel stop, 16 x 60 x 120 mm for 16 mm slot width

Metav IndustryLine Parallel stop, 16 x 60 x 120 mm for 16 mm slot width is a precision fixture element designed for secure referencing and repeatable positioning in machine T-slots with a 16 mm width

*Delivered as a matched pair
*Hardened, ground special steel
*Sized for 16 mm T-slot (H8 fit)
*Height tolerance IT5 for precise referencing

Precise positioning that reduces set‑up time

The parallel stop is engineered for consistent location of workpieces in standard machine grooves. With nominal dimensions 16 x 60 x 120 mm and a height tolerance of IT5 (0 / -0.02 mm), the stop provides a measurable datum for repetitive operations. The specified fit for 16 mm T-slots (H8) ensures secure seating in typical machine tables, which translates into fewer micro‑adjustments during clamping and a steadier production flow. The combination of tight height control and ground bearing faces helps to reduce cumulative setup error across repeated cycles.

Robust construction for workshop and production use

Manufactured from special steel, ground and hardened, this stop balances wear resistance with the fine surface finish needed for accurate reference faces. The component’s mass (approx. 1.8 kg) and compact footprint deliver stable contact without excessive inertia when used in pairs. Delivered as a matched pair, the items are already matched for height and parallelism, which improves symmetry when locating at opposing sides of a workpiece. Ground faces minimise the influence of surface irregularities and make the stops suitable for regular use in machine shops and fixture assemblies.

Proven tolerances and practical benefits for tooling

The stated height of 60 ±0.0065 mm together with the declared nominal tolerance provides a reproducible datum for inspection and assembly tasks. The precision specification (height tolerance IT5) supports quality control routines where repeatable reference planes are required. Because the stops are intended for machine grooves with H8 tolerance, they are particularly well suited to metalworking, fixture set-ups, and repeat machining of medium‑sized components. The hardened, ground construction reduces maintenance needs and preserves the reference geometry over prolonged use.

FAQ

How are these stops fixed in the machine table?
The parallel stop is designed to seat in a 16 mm T-slot (H8 fit) and is typically secured using standard T-slot clamping elements; the ground seating faces provide a stable reference when clamped.

Are the stops suitable for repeated production cycles?
Yes. The special steel, ground and hardened construction preserves the reference faces during repeated use and supports reliable positioning over time.

What degree of height accuracy can be expected?
Height is specified as 60 ±0.0065 mm with a declared nominal tolerance of 0 / -0.02 mm (IT5) for reproducible referencing in tooling and inspection tasks.

Is delivery as single pieces or matched sets?
Delivery is as a matched pair, which aids symmetry and repeatability when using opposing stops for locating workpieces.

Which applications are best suited to these parallel stops?
Ideal for machine fixturing, repetitive machining operations and fixture assemblies where a precise datum in a 16 mm T-slot is required.
