Measuring Tip INSIZE model 6282-1702 cylindrical M2.5, Ø0.45 mm, length 5 mm

Replacement measuring tip INSIZE model 6282-1702 is a cylindrical probe designed for M2.5 mounting, with a tip diameter of 0.45 mm and a length of 5 mm. It is intended for use with precision measuring instruments and indicators that require a small-diameter, rigid contact point for probing narrow features and tight spaces.

Advantages

The cylindrical design with a 0.45 mm diameter provides a fine contact area for accurate point measurements on small features. A 5 mm working length balances reach and stiffness, reducing deflection during contact. The M2.5 mounting thread ensures compatibility with instruments that accept this common size of interchangeable probe tips.

Suitable for

• Contact measurement of small holes, grooves and narrow edges
• Replacement tip for dial indicators, test indicators and comparators with M2.5 mounting
• Shop-floor and laboratory inspection where fine probe contact is required
• Measurement of delicate or confined features where larger probes cannot access

When it may not be suitable

This tip is not suitable for measurements that require a large contact area, high thermal mass or non-contact probing. Because of its fine diameter, it is more sensitive to bending or damage if subjected to side loads or excessive force. It is intended for use with compatible instruments; it will not fit devices requiring a different thread or mounting standard.

Key specifications

• Probe shape: cylindrical
• Mounting thread size: M2.5
• Tip diameter: 0.45 mm
• Working length: 5 mm
• Intended use: precision contact measurement

How to use

Screw the measuring tip into the indicator or probe holder with the instrument powered down or secured to prevent accidental movement. Ensure the mounting thread is clean and free of debris before assembly; tighten to finger-turn plus a small fraction of a turn with a suitable tool if required by the instrument manufacturer. When measuring, apply gentle axial contact to the workpiece to avoid side loading; retract and inspect the tip if any bending or contamination occurs. Replace the tip when wear or damage affects measurement accuracy.

What to consider before purchase

• Compatibility with your instrument's mounting thread (M2.5)
• Required tip diameter and length for the features you measure (Ø0.45 mm, L=5 mm)
• Sensitivity to side loads and suitability for your measurement environment

Usage recommendations

Use the INSIZE cylindrical measuring tip for fine, repeatable contact measurements on small and confined features. Handle with care to avoid bending and store spare tips in a protective case to preserve accuracy.
