Prism Pair with Clamping Bracket M318.261 — 45 mm precision V-prism, DIN 876/0

The Prism Pair with Clamping Bracket M318.261 is designed to hold and centre cylindrical workpieces for inspection and light machining, accommodating shafts with diameters from 5 to 20 mm.

• 45 mm precision V-prism seating
• 90° V-angle for secure shaft support
• DIN 876/0 standard conformity
• Suitable for shafts Ø 5–20 mm

Accurate seating for repeatable measurements and inspection

The prism pair delivers a defined V-seat with a 90° cut so that cylindrical parts are supported consistently during measurement and visual inspection. With a stated accuracy of 0.008 mm, the component secures workpieces with the repeatability required for quality control tasks and set-up checks. The small footprint (45 x 40 x 36 mm) and compact mass (approx. 1.1 kg) make the unit straightforward to position on inspection plates or in a vice, reducing repositioning time and improving throughput during serial checks.

Robust construction for workshop durability and conformity

Manufactured from special steel and produced to DIN 876/0, the prism pair combines resistance to deformation with an industrial reference standard that simplifies procurement and compliance. The clamping bracket ensures the component remains in contact under light clamping forces, so alignment is preserved during transfer between inspection and machining stations. This durability reduces maintenance intervals and supports predictable long‑term performance in routine shopfloor use.

Practical handling that integrates with common measuring workflows

The prism pair is sized to accept shafts from 5 to 20 mm, enabling compatibility with common diameters used in small parts production and maintenance workshops. The compact design supports rapid set‑ups when paired with inspection devices or measuring stands, and the precise V‑geometry eases centring for caliper checks and optical measurement. Where consistent contact is required, the clamping bracket stabilises the workpiece to prevent lateral movement, supporting both efficiency and measurement quality.

Typical applications and benefits for industry users

This prism pair is suited to inspection benches, small‑batch machining and fixture construction where secure support of round parts is essential. The 90° seating and the DIN‑grade production help machinists and quality technicians reduce setup variance, while the resilient material choice ensures resistance to wear in daily use. For applications that require clear, verifiable standards and a compact handling profile, the product offers a reliable balance of precision and practicality.
