ITP Straight Stylus Type A with silicon nitride ball (model TCM5S5011050) is a lightweight, ultra-rigid probing accessory designed for high-precision measurements. It’s ideal for long-reach CMM tasks and scanning untreated aluminum surfaces, delivering stable readings even in challenging geometries.

• Thread: M5 thread for secure mounting on standard probe heads
• Overall length: 50 mm, providing a compact yet extended reach where space is tight
• Stem material: Carbon fiber for low weight and high rigidity, minimizing deflection during measurement
• Tip material: Silicon nitride ball for wear resistance and smooth contact with aluminum surfaces
• Geometry: Straight stylus — Type A profile simplifies alignment and ensures repeatable readings
• Application: Particularly effective for scanning untreated aluminum workpieces and similar challenging alloys
• Customization: Other dimensions can be requested via the configurator or by e-mail

With its combination of a carbon fiber stem and a silicon nitride ball, this stylus delivers stable, accurate measurements even on demanding aluminum surfaces. The light weight reduces dynamic loading at higher probing speeds, while the rigid construction preserves geometric integrity across long-reach tasks. This makes it a practical choice for inspecting aerospace, automotive, and electronics components where aluminum is common. For optimal results, verify tip condition and calibration after extended use, and consider consulting the configurator for dimensions that align with your specific measurement setup.
