The ITP Straight Styli - Type A with a Zirconium Oxide Ball is a precision CMM stylus designed for professionals who need extended reach without sacrificing rigidity or measurement integrity. Built for demanding environments, it delivers reliable probing on abrasive surfaces.

• Ball material: Zirconium oxide (zirconia) ball—chosen for wear resistance on abrasive surfaces like cast steel.
• Ball diameter: 6.0 mm ball for stable contact and accurate readings.
• Stem material: Carbon fiber stem—providing a high stiffness-to-weight ratio for minimal flex.
• Thread: M4 thread, compatibility with standard probing systems.
• Overall length: 53 mm for extended reach while maintaining rigidity in probing motions.
• Style: Type A straight stylus, optimized for everyday measurement tasks and reliable performance.
• Part/Brand: ITP TCM4Z6007053, a trusted option in precision metrology tooling.

This design emphasizes a low weight combined with extreme rigidity, essential for accurate data capture when probing features that require extra length. The carbon fiber stem minimizes inertia and vibration, helping to maintain stable signals during fast scans, while the zirconia ball stands up to repeated contact with abrasive surfaces, extending stylus life and consistency. Ideal for CMM applications that demand long-reach probing of larger parts, recessed features, or deep pockets without compromising measurement quality.
