Tesa Brown Sharpe 599-7031-14 Dial Test Indicator 0.8mm

Product Description

The TESA BROWN SHARPE 599-7031-14 is a horizontal-style dial test indicator from the BesTest series, designed for precise surface and runout measurement in machining, inspection, and quality-control applications. It delivers a maximum measurement range of 0.8 mm with a dial graduation and accuracy of 0.01 mm, making it suitable for tolerance checks that demand reliable, repeatable readings. The white 38 mm dial reads 0-0.4-0, and the lever-type contact arm transfers movement to an analogue display. The integrated shockproof system protects the movement during normal shop handling. Metrology technicians, machinists, and quality inspectors are the primary users of this instrument.

This indicator is used in precision measurement setups on surface plates, CMM fixtures, machine tool spindles, and inspection jigs in both production and toolroom environments. The horizontal style positions the dial face parallel to the measuring axis, making it well suited for bore gauging, concentricity checks, and part-alignment tasks where the indicator stem must remain close to the workpiece surface. The rotating dial allows zeroing at any position within the range without moving the contact point. Included inserts cover three ball sizes, extending versatility across different groove widths and surface geometries.

Key Features

• 0.8 mm total measurement range with 0-0.4-0 dual-reading dial
• 0.01 mm graduation and 0.01 mm accuracy, meeting DIN 2270 and EN ISO 9493 standards
• Horizontal lever-type design with rotating analogue dial for on-position zeroing
• Integrated shockproof system protects movement from typical shop vibration and contact overload
• 38 mm white dial face for clear reading in low-contrast lighting conditions
• Comes with three contact point inserts, mounting rod, wrench, plastic case, measurement report, and Declaration of Conformity certificate

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard dovetail-mount indicator holders and articulating arms that accept the BesTest horizontal dial test indicator form factor. Confirm holder compatibility with the 12.70 mm contact point length and included mounting rod before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by a qualified metrology technician or machinist familiar with precision measuring instruments. Mount the indicator securely in a compatible holder before applying any measuring force to the contact point. Never exceed the rated measurement range, as overtravel can damage the internal lever mechanism. Store the instrument in its provided plastic case when not in use to protect the movement and contact points.
