Why Use Roller Contact Probe Tips?
Standard ball-tip probes can catch or drag on textured and moving surfaces. A wheel roller contact tip glides smoothly along the workpiece, making it the preferred choice for runout measurements, cam profiling, and any application where the gauge stylus travels along a surface rather than touching a single point. The result is cleaner data and longer probe life.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What thread size do these dial indicator roller probe tips use?
A: These wheel probe tips feature an M2.5 thread, making them compatible with most standard dial indicators and digital dial gauges that accept M2.5 stylus probes.
Q: What is the advantage of a wheel roller contact point over a standard ball tip?
A: A wheel roller contact point rolls smoothly along surfaces, reducing drag and lateral friction. This makes it ideal for runout checks, surface tracing, and measurements on moving or contoured workpieces where a fixed ball tip might catch or skid.
Q: What materials are these probe tips made from?
A: These probe tips are constructed from durable metal, ensuring longevity and consistent performance under regular workshop and machining conditions.
Q: How many options are available?
A: These dial indicator wheel probe tips are available in 3 color variants, allowing you to easily distinguish between different probe sets in your toolkit.
