The ITP Straight Stylus - Type A with a silicon nitride ball is a precision probing accessory designed for reliable, everyday measuring and scanning tasks. Ideal for CMM setups and 3D scanning, this stylus combines rigidity with a durable tip—Part number THM3S4004052.

• Thread: M3 threading for universal compatibility with standard probe heads
• Overall length: 52 mm, providing a compact yet practical reach in tight fixtures
• Tip material: Silicon nitride ball for wear resistance and stable contact during measurements
• Stem material: Carbide stem delivering high rigidity and minimal deflection
• Ball size range: Part of a range featuring silicon nitride balls from Ø1.5 mm to Ø5.0 mm
• Recommended use: Especially effective for scanning workpieces made of untreated aluminum

The combination of a rigid carbide stem and a wear-resistant silicon nitride ball ensures precise, repeatable readings even in challenging fixtures. The 52 mm length offers reliable reach without compromising stability, making it suitable for everyday metrology tasks—from surface scans to probing edges and features with confidence. The silicon nitride ball’s hardness and low adhesion characteristics help minimize measurement errors on untreated aluminum, a common material in industrial components. When you need alternative dimensions within the same product family, these can be configured through the configurator or by inquiry to ensure you have the right tip size for your application.
