Tesa Brown Sharpe 599-7031-6 Dial Test Indicator Horizontal

Product Description

The TESA BROWN SHARPE 599-7031-6 is a horizontal-style dial test indicator from the BesTest series, designed for precision measurement in machining, inspection, and metrology applications. It features a 0.0005 inch graduation with matching 0.0005 inch accuracy and a maximum measurement range of 0.03 inches. The 0-15-0 bidirectional dial reading with a 1.5 inch white dial face makes it easy to read in either direction of stylus travel. Built with an integrated shockproof system and low measuring force, this indicator is suited for use by machinists, quality technicians, and tool-and-die professionals who need reliable, repeatable results at close tolerances.

The 599-7031-6 is used in horizontal indicator applications where a lever-type contact point is required. It performs well when mounted on a magnetic base, indicator stand, or surface plate setup for runout checks, surface alignment, bore alignment, and part comparison work. The rotating dial allows zeroing at any position, and three contact points are included to suit different measurement setups. It meets DIN 2270 and EN ISO 9493 standards, making it appropriate for formal inspection environments where documented accuracy requirements apply.

Key Features

• 0.0005 inch graduation and accuracy for high-resolution measurement
• Bidirectional 0-15-0 dial reading with rotating white dial face
• Integrated shockproof system protects movement during handling
• Low measuring force reduces deflection on delicate workpieces
• Includes three contact points: 0.04 inch, 0.08 inch, and 0.12 inch inserts
• Meets DIN 2270 and EN ISO 9493 accuracy standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision instrument compatible with standard indicator mounting rods and holders used in metrology and machine shop setups. A mounting rod is included in the package.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or quality inspection personnel. Secure the indicator to a stable mounting rod or magnetic base before taking measurements, ensuring the stylus contacts the workpiece at the correct angle for accurate lever-type readings. Avoid side-loading the stylus beyond its designed arc of travel. Handle the instrument carefully during setup to preserve the shockproof mechanism and maintain calibration integrity.
