Tesa Brown Sharpe 599-7038-3 Dial Test Indicator Vertical

Product Description

The TESA BROWN SHARPE 599-7038-3 is a vertical-style dial test indicator from the BesTest series, designed for high-precision dimensional measurement in machining, inspection, and metrology applications. It delivers a maximum measurement range of 0.008 inches with a dial graduation of 0.00005 inches, making it suitable for detecting very fine surface deviations and runout. The 1.5-inch diameter white dial features a 0-5-0 reading format for easy bidirectional measurement. An integrated shockproof system protects the mechanism during routine shop use. This indicator is installed and used by machinists, quality control technicians, and toolroom professionals.

The 599-7038-3 is suited for precision inspection tasks in manufacturing, tooling, and quality assurance environments. Its vertical lever-type design allows contact from below or beside a workpiece, making it practical for checking bores, slots, grooves, and surface alignment. The indicator ships with a 0.08-inch insert, a mounting rod, a plastic case, a wrench, a measurement report, and a Declaration of Conformity certificate. The low measuring force minimizes deflection on delicate workpieces. Typical mounting uses a dovetail clamp or collet-style holder on a surface plate arm or machine spindle.

Key Features

• Maximum measurement range of 0.008 inches per revolution for fine-tolerance inspection
• Dial graduation of 0.00005 inches for high-resolution readings
• Integrated shockproof system protects internal mechanism in shop environments
• Low measuring force reduces workpiece deflection on sensitive surfaces
• Rotating bezel on 1.5-inch white dial allows zero-setting at any position
• Meets DIN 2270 and EN ISO 9493 standards for dial test indicators
• Includes mounting rod, insert, wrench, measurement report, and conformity certificate

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision dial test indicator compatible with standard dovetail-mount indicator holders and surface gauge arms used in toolroom and inspection setups.

Installation Notes

Dial test indicators of this type are mounted and used by machinists, metrologists, and inspection technicians. Secure the indicator in a compatible dovetail clamp or collet holder before applying contact to the workpiece. Ensure the contact point stylus is aligned within the lever plane to avoid cosine error in readings. Do not exceed the rated measurement range, as overtravel may damage the internal mechanism.
