The ITP Straight Styli – Type A with a silicon nitride ball is a precision probing accessory designed for everyday metrology tasks. This lightweight, rigid stylus is ideal for operators using CMMs and scanning workflows, particularly when inspecting aluminum workpieces.

• Thread: M3 thread for secure mounting in standard probe setups.
• Ball material: Silicon nitride ball delivers high hardness, wear resistance, and stable contact.
• Stem material: High-performance ceramic stem combines low weight with exceptional rigidity.
• Overall length: 52 mm overall length for versatile reach in tight fixtures.
• Ball size options: Ball sizes range from Ø3.0 mm to Ø5.0 mm within this range; other dimensions available via configurator or by email.

This stylus design minimizes mass without sacrificing stiffness, helping reduce deflection during probing and improving repeatability across measurements. The silicon nitride ball is particularly well-suited for scanning untreated aluminum, preserving geometry and delivering consistent contact geometry over the life of the tool. With a robust M3 mounting interface and a compact 52 mm length, it fits a wide range of fixtures and probing arms. For custom dimensions beyond the listed range, use the configurator or contact us by email for specific requests.
