Parallel stop M318.247.3 – Parallel support 22 × 80 × 120 mm (Metav IndustryLine)

A Parallel stop, 22 × 80 × 120 mm designed to locate and support workpieces in 22 mm machine slots, ideal for accurate fixturing in machining and inspection tasks.

• Hardened, ground special steel construction
• Height tolerance IT5 for reliable repeatability
• For 22 mm machine slot width H8 fitting
• Supplied in pairs for matching setups

Consistent, repeatable workholding for production

The M318.247.3 parallel combines a hardened, ground finish with a geometry sized for shop-floor robustness, delivering stable reference faces that keep setups consistent across batches. The solid mass and finished surfaces reduce micro‑movement during clamping, which means less rework and tighter process control when aligning fixtures or parts on machine tables. As a purpose-built parallel, it performs the simple but critical task of creating reproducible datum planes for both machining and inspection operations.

Tight tolerances and definable datum for precision alignment

Manufactured to a height tolerance of 0/−0.02 mm (height IT5) and a nominal height of 80±0.0065 mm, this support gives a verifiable datum for accurate stack-ups and inspection routines. The specification for use with 22 mm machine slots in tolerance H8 ensures the stop locates reliably in standard T‑grooves and slot systems. By choosing parts with defined IT classifications, process planners and quality engineers can integrate these parallels into calibration chains and control plans with confidence.

Robust material and geometry for lasting accuracy

Made from special steel, ground and hardened, the component resists wear while retaining flatness and parallelism over prolonged use. With a length of 120 mm and a thickness of 22 mm, the shape balances rigidity and access to clamping points; the unit weight of 3.3 kg contributes to steady contact without excessive mass. A precision finish minimises the need for secondary dressing and simplifies cleaning, so inspection faces remain reliable over long production cycles.

Delivered ready for matched setups and efficient workflows

Supplied in pairs, the supports allow immediate creation of matched datum surfaces for vices, fixtures or inspection jigs. This paired delivery reduces trial fitting and speeds classroom‑to‑shop transitions for apprentices and technicians alike. The manufactured finish and tolerances mean the parts are suitable both as straight parallels in fixture build‑up and as reference blocks during incoming inspection, supporting shorter setup times and fewer alignment iterations.
