The ITP Straight Stylus Type A with Ruby Ball is a high‑precision probing tool designed for long‑reach metrology. It targets professionals using CMMs and tactile probes who need a light, exceptionally rigid stylus that delivers repeatable, reliable contact.

  • Material: Carbon fibre stem for exceptional rigidity with minimal weight, optimizing dynamic response during measurements.
  • Ball Diameter: High‑quality ruby ball available in sizes from Ø3.0 mm to Ø12.0 mm for durable, precise contact.
  • Thread: M4 mounting thread for secure compatibility with standard probes.
  • Overall Length: 53 mm total length, providing extended reach while preserving stiffness and accuracy.
  • Design: Straight profile minimizes deflection and maintains consistent contact geometry across measurement passes.
  • Customization: Other dimensions can be requested via the configurator or by email to tailor the stylus to your setup.

This combination of a lightweight carbon fibre stem and a hard ruby contact supports precise, repeatable measurements in challenging geometries. The extended reach is ideal for accessing recessed features or tight cavities, while the ruby ball offers durable performance across repeated cycles. Use the Type A ruby‑ball stylus for metrology tasks that demand stable contact, low mass at the tip, and consistent tactile feedback throughout your inspection or scanning workflow.

Buying experience
Phone requests are handled quickly and without any fuss. The website is easy to use and straightforward to order from. It’s especially helpful that it shows real‑time availability, so we don’t need to call to confirm whether parts will arrive.
