Description
The ITP Straight Styli Type A with a silicon nitride ball is designed for everyday standard probing, delivering reliable, precise measurements when paired with CMMs or scanning setups. Built for users who value rigidity and consistency, it excels on metal workpieces, including untreated aluminum surfaces.
- Thread: M3 threaded connection to fit standard probe holders and extensions for secure, quick mounting.
- Stem Material: Carbide stem provides exceptional rigidity and dimensional stability under load for accurate readings.
- Ball Material: Silicon nitride ball offers high hardness and low wear, ideal for smooth contact with challenging surfaces.
- Overall Length: 42.5 mm total length ensures accessible reach in tight or recessed measurement environments.
- Geometric Style: Straight stylus design delivers a straightforward, repeatable probing profile for consistent data capture.
- Ball Diameter Range: Part of a family that covers Ø1.5 mm to Ø5.0 mm balls; exact size is selectable via configurator or by email to match your measurement needs.
With its rigid carbide core and wear-resistant silicon nitride ball, this stylus minimizes deflection and chatter, helping you achieve repeatable, high-quality data across a broad range of dimensions. It’s particularly well-suited for scanning and probing aluminum workpieces, where smooth contact and dependable durability matter most. If you need a different ball size, the configurator or a quick email can guide you to the right dimension while keeping the same trusted Type A design and 42.5 mm reach.
