The carbide stem minimizes bending under probing forces, helping you achieve consistent readings across parts with flat surfaces, small features, or bore openings. The ruby ball combines wear resistance with smooth, low-friction contact, contributing to longer stylus life and reduced signal variation over many measurement cycles. With its 72 mm length and secure M5 connection, it integrates smoothly into common metrology setups, while the option to specify alternative ball sizes lets you tailor the tip radius to specific features or materials.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"ITP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42229020196942,"sku":"ITP-THM508012068","price":138.26,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0560\/3747\/4382\/files\/THM508012068_b64fd2b3-f1ea-44fb-ac17-4e36f2a1d90c.png?v=1739364297","url":"https:\/\/www.protool-ltd.co.uk\/products\/thm508012068","provider":"Protool Precision Tools","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
