The ITP Straight Styli Type A with Ruby Ball is a precision probing stylus designed for technicians and metrology setups that demand reliable, repeatable contact in everyday measurement tasks.

  • Thread: M4 thread for compatibility with standard probes and fixtures, enabling quick, secure integration into your measurement system.
  • Ball size: Ruby contact ball diameters range from Ø4.0 mm up to Ø8.0 mm, providing accurate and durable surface contact for various probing needs.
  • Material: High-performance ceramic stem delivering low weight and exceptional rigidity for steady, precise probing.
  • Overall length: 78 mm total length offers a practical reach without compromising control or stability.
  • Customization: Other ball sizes can be requested via the configurator or by email to suit specific applications.

This stylus minimizes tip deflection and operator fatigue, supporting repeatable measurements across diverse materials and surfaces. The hard ruby ball resists wear for lasting accuracy, while the ceramic stem helps reduce mass-related distortion. With a 78 mm length and a standard M4 thread, it integrates smoothly into common metrology setups, making it a reliable choice for routine inspections, PCB probing, and micro-assembly tasks. If you need a different ball diameter, you can request alternative sizes via the configurator or by email to ensure the right balance of contact area and sensitivity for your workflow.
