Brown & Sharpe 599-621-222 Universal Surface Gage Small/B

The Brown & Sharpe 599-621-222 universal surface gauge is used to mount surface gauges and dial indicators to provide access to hard-to-reach areas. Knurled nuts provide fine adjustment, and two gauge pins provide access to the edge of a surface plate or a machine table T-slot. The 2-1/2 x 3-1/2-inch (W x D) base has a V-groove to enable mounting on cylindrical surfaces. (W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back.) The surface gauge includes one 9" and one 12" upright and one 0.156" scriber pointer rod.

Dial indicators are also called dial gauges, probe, and electronic indicators. These precision instruments measure small linear distances and object sizes. The dial magnifies the measurement so that it can be easily read by the human eye. Frequently used in manufacturing, laboratories, and other industrial or mechanical fields, dial indicators are used anywhere a small measurement must be found and recorded or transferred, such as checking the variation in tolerance of a workpiece. Standard dial indicators measure the displacement along the axis of the indicator. Dial test indicators are very similar to dial indicators, except that the axis of measurement is perpendicular to the axis of the indicator. Dial and dial test indicators can be analog, with a mechanical dial, or electronic, with a digital display. Some electronic models transfer the data electronically to a computer for recording and potential manipulation.

Brown & Sharpe manufactures precision measuring equipment and metrology hand tools. The company, founded in 1833, is headquartered in North Kingstown, RI.
