ITP Straight Styli — Type A with a Silicon Nitride Ball offers precise, reliable probing for metrology tasks. Designed for everyday scanning and measurement work, it suits technicians and engineers who demand consistent rigidity and surface-friendly contact when evaluating metal parts, especially untreated aluminum.

• Thread: M3 threaded connection for secure, compatible attachment to standard probing heads.
• Overall length: 42 mm total length provides useful reach while preserving stability during measurements.
• Ball material: Silicon nitride ball delivers high hardness and wear resistance for repeated scanning with minimal wear on the probe tip.
• Stem material: Carbide stem offers exceptional rigidity to minimize deflection across a wide range of dimensions.
• Ball diameter range: Part of a family that includes balls from Ø1.5 mm to Ø5.0 mm to accommodate different feature sizes and surface profiles.
• Recommended use: Particularly effective when scanning workpieces made of untreated aluminum, reducing surface marring while maintaining accuracy.

This stylus combines a robust carbide core with a precision silicon nitride ball to deliver repeatable measurements and long tool life. The Type A configuration is ideal for routine calibration, fixture alignment, and data collection tasks across diverse metrology applications. Select the appropriate ball size within the available range to match feature geometry, ensuring optimal contact and measurement fidelity in your workflow.
