The ITP Straight Styli Type J with a ceramic (aluminium oxide) ball is a precision long-reach probe designed for high-accuracy tactile scanning on challenging parts. With a 500 mm overall length and an M5 thread, it fits standard probing setups while delivering reliable rigidity and light weight. Product code: TCM520011500.

• Material and construction: Carbon fibre stem delivers exceptional stiffness with minimal weight for stable, long-reach measurements.
• Ball material: Ceramic ball (aluminium oxide) provides wear resistance suitable for abrasive surfaces that do not contain aluminium.
• Thread compatibility: M5 threaded connection at the top ensures secure attachment to compatible probe heads.
• Length: 500 mm overall length for extended reach without sacrificing rigidity or accuracy.
• Configuration options: Other dimensions can be requested via the configurator or by e-mail to tailor reach and balance to your workflow.

This stylus is ideal for users performing meticulous coordinate measuring machine (CMM) scanning, where long reach is required but deflection must be minimized. The carbon fibre stem minimizes inertia during quick contact events, helping to maintain consistent probing signals, while the ceramic ball stands up to abrasive surfaces, preserving probing integrity over time. Use cases include complex contour scanning, feature probing on large parts, and situations where extended reach must be paired with precise, repeatable contact measurements. If you need a different length or balance, the configurator or a quick email can set you up with an exact specification that matches your inspection routine.
