Manual Probe 98 N (M502.254) — Ultrasonic probe with 98 N measuring force | Metav IndustryLine

Manual Probe 98 N designed as an accessory for compatible roughness measuring instruments, providing controlled contact for repeatable surface measurements and inspections

• 98 N measuring force for repeatable contact
• Ø5.5 mm hardened probe tip
• Compact 154 x Ø22 mm profile
• Suitable for test pieces ≥ 2 mm thick

Controlled contact for reliable roughness readings

The probe delivers a defined 98 N measuring force, which stabilises the contact between tip and specimen and reduces variability caused by manual handling. This controlled measuring force supports consistent readings on surfaces with up to Ra < 15 μm, making the accessory suitable for routine roughness verification and comparative checks. Defining the contact force is a core way to improve reproducibility in workshop quality control, as it minimises operator-induced scatter and helps maintain throughput without sacrificing data integrity.

Compact form that improves handling and alignment

With a compact profile (154 x Ø22 mm) and a total weight of 1 kg, the probe is easy to mount and position on medium-sized workpieces. The Ø5.5 mm probe tip is engineered for secure contact geometry while the oscillation rod Ø3 mm supports stable coupling to the measuring instrument. These design choices make the probe practical for shop-floor use where space and accessibility are limiting factors. The manual drive gives fine tactile feedback for careful placement, and the tool is suitable for test pieces with a minimum thickness of 2 mm and a minimum weight of 0.3 kg, which covers many common components in metalworking and component inspection.

Practical integration and robust workshop performance

Engineered as an ultrasonic probe accessory for roughness measuring devices, the unit fits the model range referenced in the product label and is delivered ready for installation. The straightforward mechanical drive and durable probe tip keep maintenance simple and downtime low, supporting continuous inspection routines. As an accessory selected for its repeatable contact and compact form factor, the probe aids consistent surface assessment across batches, contributing to faster decision-making in production and reducing the need for repeated sampling.

FAQ

What measuring force does the probe apply and why does it matter?
The probe applies a defined 98 N measuring force; this constant force improves repeatability by reducing variability from manual pressure during surface measurements.

Which instruments is the accessory compatible with?
The accessory is compatible with the model series listed on the product label and integrates as an ultrasonic probe for roughness measuring instruments, referenced under SKU M502.254.

What surface roughness range is the probe suitable for?
The probe supports measurements for surfaces up to Ra < 15 μm, making it suitable for routine roughness checks and comparative quality assessments.

Are there any special mounting or specimen requirements?
Specimens should be at least 2 mm thick and weigh a minimum of 0.3 kg to ensure stable contact during manual probing and to keep measurement conditions reproducible.

How durable is the probe tip and what maintenance is required?
The Ø5.5 mm probe tip is designed for workshop use with straightforward maintenance; regular visual inspection and gentle cleaning keep performance stable over time.
