The ITP Straight Styli Type A with a silicon nitride ball is a precision probing accessory designed for CMM work, offering dependable straight-line performance for everyday measurement tasks. Built around a rigid carbide stem, it supports a wide range of dimensions while keeping measurement geometry stable.

• Thread Size: M5 threaded shank for secure, compatible mounting on standard probe heads.
• Overall Length: 82 mm total length to reach into tight pockets and recessed features.
• Stem Material: Extremely rigid carbide stem that resists deflection during probing.
• Ball Material: Silicon nitride ball, praised for durability and smooth scanning on challenging surfaces.
• Ball Diameters Supported: Styli in this group feature ball sizes from Ø1.5 mm up to Ø10.0 mm.
• Holder Compatibility: Depending on the measuring system, holders are available in Ø10.0 mm, Ø11.0 mm, and Ø12.0 mm.
• Recommended Scan Surface: Silicon nitride balls are particularly recommended for scanning untreated aluminium parts to minimize wear and wear-induced measurement variation.
• Customization: Other sizes can be requested via the configurator or by email for tailored applications.

Designed for reliability and consistency, this straight stylus delivers repeatable contact geometry across a broad range of feature sizes. The combination of a rigid carbide stem and a silicon nitride ball helps maintain accurate measurements on aluminium surfaces, while the 82 mm reach provides versatility in accessing deeper features. With multiple ball sizes and holder options, you can tailor the stylus to specific probing tasks and workflows. If your application requires a non-standard size, you can request it through the configurator or by contacting support.
