• Overall length: 31.5 mm, compact profile suitable for common probing rigs
• Stem material: Carbide for exceptional rigidity and minimal deflection during measurement
• Ball material: Silicon nitride ball, chosen for durability and smooth interaction with workpieces
• Ball diameter range: Available with ball sizes from Ø1.5 mm to Ø5.0 mm to suit different measurement needs
• Compatibility note: Part of the Type A straight stylus family, designed for stable, day-to-day scanning use
• Custom dimensions: If you need dimensions outside the standard range, request via configurator or email for options
• Product code: THM3S3004031

The silicon nitride ball is particularly well-suited for scanning workpieces made of untreated aluminum, where its hardness and wear resistance help maintain probe accuracy over time. The straight geometry minimizes angular errors in routine scans, while the carbide stem provides the stiffness needed to handle a wide range of dimensions without sacrificing precision. Ideal for metrology labs, tooling shops, and professionals who require dependable, repeatable measurements with a straightforward setup.
