Side Mounted Parallel Style Test Indicator
Parallel style (lateral model) test indicators are used in specific applications where mounting the standard indicators is impractical. They function just like the regular models but have the dial mounted on the side of the body. Because there is little demand for this style, it may not always be in stock. Here we list a selection of quality indicators that we can recommend.
Where they are made:
- BesTest (nominally: Switzerland, actually: China)
- Compac (Switzerland) — discontinued in 2020
- MarTest — Mahr Federal — no country of origin identification
- Mitutoyo (Japan)
- TesaTast (Switzerland)
