Tesa Brown Sharpe 599-7035-5 Dial Test Indicator

Product Description

The TESA BROWN SHARPE 599-7035-5 is a horizontal-style dial test indicator from the BesTest series, designed for precision surface and runout measurement in machining, inspection, and metrology applications. It features a 0.02 inch total measurement range with a 0.0005 inch graduation, providing fine resolution for close-tolerance work. The 1.5 inch diameter black dial uses a 0-10-0 bidirectional scale, making it straightforward to read deflection in either direction. An integrated shockproof system protects the movement during normal shop handling. This instrument is installed and used by machinists, tool-and-die makers, quality technicians, and precision metrology professionals.

The 599-7035-5 suits horizontal indicator applications on surface plates, CMM fixtures, machine tool spindles, and inspection jigs. Its lever-type design and low measuring force make it appropriate for checking runout, flatness, and positional deviation on delicate workpieces where contact pressure must be minimized. The rotating dial allows zeroing without moving the indicator body. Contents include the indicator, a 0.08 inch insert, a mounting rod, a wrench, a Declaration of Conformity certificate, and a measurement report, making it ready for immediate deployment in a calibrated inspection environment.

Key Features

• 0.02 inch maximum measurement range with 0.0005 inch graduation for fine-resolution readings
• Horizontal lever-type design suited for runout, flatness, and positional checks
• Integrated shockproof system protects internal movement in shop environments
• Low measuring force reduces deflection error on delicate or thin-walled workpieces
• Rotating bezel allows in-position zeroing without repositioning the indicator
• Meets DIN 2270 and EN ISO 9493 standards; includes Declaration of Conformity and measurement report

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision dial test indicator suitable for use with standard indicator holders, magnetic bases, and mounting rods accepting a compatible shank diameter in typical machine tool and inspection fixture setups.

Installation Notes

Dial test indicators are mounted and used by machinists and metrology technicians. Secure the indicator in an appropriate holder or magnetic base before use, ensuring the mounting rod connection is snug without over-tightening. Always zero the dial at the reference position before taking measurements. Avoid side-loading the contact point beyond the rated range, as this can damage the lever mechanism.
