5N Motorised Probe Ø36 With Oscillation Rod Ø3.7mm, Ra

Take advantage of the combination of precise, motorised probing and consistent 5 N measuring force for reliable surface-roughness checks; the Ø36 mm measuring tip and low-contact finish (Ra <1.5 μm) reduce measurement noise and support higher throughput.

Motorised Probe 5 N M502.262 — Motorised Ultrasonic Probe, 5 N Measuring Force (Metav IndustryLine)

The Motorised Probe 5 N (M502.262) is a motor-driven ultrasonic probe designed for surface-roughness inspection and compatible with established roughness testers in industrial metrology.

• Motorised drive for automated probing
• Constant 5 N measuring force
• Ø36 mm measuring tip for surface contact
• Compatible with 502.230/502.231/502.240/502.241

Reliable throughput with automated contact control

The motorised drive delivers a consistent, programmable approach to surface measurement, so operators benefit from repeatable measurements and shorter cycle times. By combining a motorised drive with a fixed 5 N measuring force, the system reduces variability caused by manual probing and facilitates automated inspection sequences. This increase in process stability is particularly valuable in serial production and quality-assurance stations, where reduced rework and faster inspection cycles translate directly into cost savings and predictable output.

Fine-surface measurement and low interaction with the specimen

The probe's Ø36 mm measuring tip and low-contact finish (Ra <1.5 μm) are optimised for sensitive surface scans, limiting tip-induced artefacts and preserving delicate finishes. The slender oscillation rod (Ø3.7 mm) supports precise transmission of the probe motion to the sensor head, improving contact fidelity on small features. In practical terms, this means improved resolution of surface texture and fewer false positives during pass/fail evaluations, which supports higher confidence in final-part acceptance.

Compatible integration into existing roughness testers and setups

Built as an accessory for a range of systems, the probe fits the roughness testers listed in the designation and connects without major retrofitting. The compact form factor (approx. 197.5 x Ø46 mm) and modest mass (1 kg) make it straightforward to add to inspection rigs or tool changers without significant rebalancing. Compatibility with models 502.230, 502.231, 502.240 and 502.241 preserves prior investments in measurement platforms while enabling automated probing and improved data consistency.

Practical handling for shop-floor and laboratory use

Designed for frequent use, the probe balances mechanical robustness with manageable handling: its overall weight and diameter suit both bench-mounted fixtures and automated stages. It is appropriate for test pieces with a minimum thickness of 2 mm and a minimum weight of 0.3 kg, which covers a broad range of machine parts and components. The construction and surface finish prioritise low friction and consistent contact, contributing to predictable inspection results and fewer interruptions in production.

FAQ

What inspection systems is this probe compatible with?
The motorised probe is compatible with the roughness testers listed in the product designation; it is designed to work with models 502.230, 502.231, 502.240 and 502.241 when used as the ultrasonic sensor head.

Which measuring force does the probe apply and why is it important?
The probe applies a constant 5 N measuring force, which ensures stable contact pressure and reduces variability between individual measurements when used with the corresponding roughness tester.

Can the probe measure very fine surface textures?
Yes. The combination of a Ø36 mm measuring tip, narrow oscillation rod and a surface-finish compatibility of Ra <1.5 μm supports high-fidelity scans of fine textures and helps avoid tip-induced artefacts.

What are the physical dimensions and handling implications?
With dimensions of approximately 197.5 x Ø46 mm and a mass of 1 kg, the probe integrates easily into inspection rigs and automated stages without major rework to fixtures.

Which specimen geometries are suitable for this probe?
The probe is intended for test pieces that have a minimum thickness of 2 mm and a minimum weight of 0.3 kg, making it appropriate for many machined components and assemblies.
