Gauge pin M323.C86 – 12.86 mm Ø, 50 mm length (Metav IndustryLine)

A Gauge pin M323.C86 provides a compact, high-precision end-measurement reference for workshop inspection and assembly tasks.

• Workshop version for robust use
• Diameter 12.86 mm for end measurements
• Length 50 mm for precise positioning
• Tolerance ±0.002 mm for tight control

Repeatable accuracy for end-dimension checks

The compact pin gauge is designed to deliver consistent results when used as a reference for end measurements and fit checks. With a calibrated diameter of 12.86 mm and a stated tolerance of ±0.002 mm, the component reduces measurement scatter in routine quality inspections. Its short, rigid shank minimises bending and vibration during placement, which translates into fewer rejected parts and quicker go/no-go decisions on the shop floor. The mechanical simplicity of the design also means rapid handling and straightforward integration into existing inspection jigs.

Built for the workshop — durability meets handling

As a workshop version, the pin is made from special steel chosen for wear resistance and dimensional stability under regular use. The 50 mm overall length gives sufficient engagement for axial positioning while remaining easy to manipulate with standard pick-and-place tools or tweezers. The robust finish reduces the need for frequent replacement, contributing to lower lifecycle costs compared with fragile, non-industrial variants. This combination of toughness and ergonomic length supports repetitive checking tasks across assembly, incoming inspection and maintenance operations.

Practical benefits and how it simplifies inspection workflows

Using a dedicated gauge pin such as the M323.C86 streamlines inspection routines: measurements are fast, objective and easily documented. The small footprint and precise geometry make it especially suitable for confined spaces and components with tight end tolerances. For production teams, the immediate benefit is a reduction in measurement variability and faster throughput at inspection stations. For quality engineers, the pin serves as a traceable mechanical reference that supports conforming measurement procedures and consistent batch release.
