Description
The ITP Straight Styli Type A with a ruby ball is a precision probing stylus designed for long-reach tactile measurements. Engineered for metrology professionals using CMMs, it combines a low-weight carbon fiber stem with a hard ruby ball for reliable, repeatable contact.
- Thread: M5 external thread compatible with standard probe heads
- Stem Material: Carbon fiber for ultra-lightweight yet high rigidity, minimizing deflection
- Ruby Ball: High-quality Type A ruby ball available in Ø3.0 mm to Ø12.0 mm for wear resistance and smooth contact
- Ball Size Range: Options from Ø3.0 mm up to Ø12.0 mm to fit different measurement needs
- Overall Length: 52 mm total length to reach recessed features and tight geometries
- Weight & Rigidity: Low-mass design paired with a rigid tip to improve probing stability
- Customization: Other dimensions can be requested via the configurator or by e-mail
- Applications: Ideal for precision probing on CMMs, inspection fixtures, and demanding metrology tasks
This lightweight, high-stiffness stylus delivers accurate contact over extended reaches, making it perfect for inspecting deep pockets, narrow slots, and complex geometries. The ruby ball tip is exceptionally hard and wear-resistant, helping maintain a pristine radius through thousands of probes. With a reliable M5 thread and a 52 mm reach, setup is straightforward and compatible with a wide range of probing heads. If you need a non-standard diameter or length, you can configure it online or contact us for a tailored option. Part number TCM504010052 identifies this exact configuration for seamless ordering.
