Measuring dial tips are detachable components that are placed at the end of the dial shaft and come into contact with the surface of the workpiece to be measured. They are available in a variety of shapes and materials, depending on the application requirements. They are essential for accurate measurements in various shapes and positions of workpieces.

Types of tips:

• Flat tip – Suitable for general measurements on flat surfaces.

• Spherical tip – Ideal for curved surfaces or to avoid contact with dust/dirt.

• Pointed tip (needle) – For grooves, threads, or other hard-to-reach areas.

• Disc-shaped tip – Suitable for internal measurements or at points with protrusions.

• Chisel-type tip – For access to narrow slots or edges.

• Rubber or plastic tips – For sensitive surfaces that should not be scratched.

Materials:

• Hardened steel – Durable and suitable for general use.

• Carbide – High wear resistance, ideal for repeated high-precision measurements.

• Ruby or ceramic – For high-precision applications or sensitive surfaces.

Tips typically have M2.5 or 4-48 UNF threading, allowing easy replacement depending on the task.
