The invention discloses a universal disk type gear M value detecting device. The device comprises a detection tool seat, a fixed seat, a slide seat, a measuring platform, a slide rail, screw rod, a hand wheel disc, an adjustment rod, a left spherical probe, a fine tuning knob, an adjustment rod locking handle, a measuring driving lever, a connecting rod, a right spherical probe, and a standard gear and the like. The detection device can realize the M value detection of any disk tooth and any process gear, adjusting and detection time is short and convenient, the skill requirement of detectionpersonnel is reduced, and detection accuracy is high and the repeatability of a detection tool is good. A problem that different disc gears can not detect M values on the same detection tool is solved, and the problems of a human measurement error risk and the like are eliminated, work efficiency is increased and the detection quality of a product is improved.
