Tesa Brown Sharpe 14.82023 Dial Drop Indicator

Product Description

The TESA BROWN SHARPE 14.82023 is a dial drop indicator designed for precise linear measurement in dimensional inspection and quality control applications. It features a 1 inch total measurement range with a graduation of 0.001 inches per division and a 0-100 dial reading scale on a 2-1/4 inch black dial face. The indicator advances 0.1 inches per spindle revolution and includes a revolution counter to track full revolutions across the total range. A vertical lug back mounting style allows secure attachment to indicator stands, magnetic bases, and transfer fixtures. This tool is used by machinists, quality technicians, and metrology professionals performing runout, flatness, and comparative measurement tasks.

This dial drop indicator is suited for use in machine shops, manufacturing facilities, and inspection departments where English-unit dimensional verification is required. The analogue dial gauge format provides direct readability without batteries or electronics, making it reliable for bench inspection, part setup, and surface plate work. The vertical lug back is a standard mounting configuration compatible with common indicator holding fixtures used across general-purpose metrology setups.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of precision dial indicators is typically performed by machinists or quality control technicians. Secure the vertical lug back firmly in the holding fixture clamp before zeroing the dial to prevent spindle deflection errors. Avoid side-loading the spindle during measurement, as this can affect accuracy and cause premature wear. Handle the indicator carefully to protect the precision internal mechanism from shock and contamination.
