Description
The ITP Straight Styli Type A with Ruby Ball is a precision long-reach stylus designed for metrology professionals who need light weight and unwavering rigidity in probing tasks. Its carbon fiber stem and ruby ball deliver stable, repeatable contact across extended lengths.
- Ball end: Ruby ball contact tip provides durable, low-wear interaction with measurement surfaces; ruby balls range in size from Ø3.0 mm to Ø12.0 mm.
- Stem material: Carbon fiber stem delivering low weight and high rigidity for controlled, accurate probing on long-reach styli.
- Connection: M5 external thread for secure mounting in standard stylus holders.
- Overall length: 53 mm overall length, offering extended reach without sacrificing stiffness.
- Custom dimensions: Other ball sizes or dimensional tweaks can be requested via the configurator or by email.
This stylus is ideal for scenarios requiring a lightweight yet stiff probing tool, such as extended-range coordinate measuring machine (CMM) inspections or intricate surface scans where minimizing deflection is critical. The combination of a carbon fiber shaft and ruby contact point helps maintain accuracy under dynamic measurement conditions, while the M5 thread ensures compatibility with a wide range of holders. Use cases include precision inspection, quality control, and calibration tasks where consistent, repeatable contact is essential. The product code TCM506010053 helps identify this specific Type A configuration for ordering and service.
