Meet the ITP Straight Stylus Type A with Silicon Nitride Ball—a precision probing tip designed for everyday metrology tasks. Built for professionals who value rigidity, reliability, and compatibility in standard inspection workflows.

• Threaded connection: M5 thread fits common probe holders for quick, secure mounting.
• Overall length: 31 mm total length for compact reach in tight setups.
• Rigid carbide stem: Extremely rigid stem minimizes deflection across a wide dimension range, improving measurement stability.
• Ball material: Silicon nitride ball offers high hardness and low wear, ideal for scanning untreated aluminium parts.
• Holder diameter options: Group supports Ø10.0 mm, Ø11.0 mm, and Ø12.0 mm holders, enabling compatibility with multiple probing systems.
• Available ball sizes in the family: Styles in this group cover ball sizes from Ø1.5 mm to Ø10.0 mm (other sizes can be requested via configurator or by email).

With a stable, low-deflection tip, this stylus delivers repeatable contact measurements even on challenging aluminium surfaces. The silicon nitride ball reduces wear and scoring, extending tip life in demanding inspection environments. The 31 mm length and M5 connection offer versatile mounting in a range of CMM setups, making it a reliable workhorse for routine gauging, feature verification, and alignment tasks. Ideal for shops seeking predictable performance without the need for frequent replacements.
