Meet the ITP Straight Styli – Type B with a ruby ball, designed for precise, everyday metrology tasks. This ruby-ball stylus sits on a rigid tungsten carbide stem, delivering dependable measurements in tight work areas and on challenging surfaces.

• Ruby ball sizes: High-precision ruby balls range from Ø0.2 mm to Ø1.5 mm to suit different contact needs and surface finishes.
• Rigid tungsten carbide stem: The ultra-strong stem minimizes deflection under load for stable, repeatable readings.
• Thread and length: M5 thread with an overall length of 25 mm for easy mounting on standard probing systems and compact handling.
• Straight design (Type B): Optimized for direct probing of flat surfaces and exposed features with minimal approach angles.
• Stem configuration: The stem can be single or multi-stepped to accommodate varying probing geometries.
• Custom sizing: Other sizes can be requested via the configurator or by e-mail to fit specialized applications.

This stylus is ideal for professionals who need reliable, accurate measurements across a range of tasks—from routine inspections to intricate geometric tolerances. The combination of a hard ruby contact surface and a rigid tungsten carbide stem helps reduce wear on both the stylus and the workpiece, supporting longer tool life and more consistent data. With a standard M5 mounting interface and a compact 25 mm length, it integrates smoothly into existing measurement setups, enabling quicker changes between probes. If your application requires a non-standard tip size or stepped profile, you can request a custom configuration to ensure the right geometry for your features.
