The ITP Straight Stylus Type J with a ceramic (aluminium oxide) ball and M5 thread is a precision, long-reach stylus designed for metrology professionals who demand both lightness and rigidity. Built for high-accuracy tactile probing, it excels in extended scanning tasks where consistent contact matters.

• Overall length: 400 mm for long-reach measurements without sacrificing rigidity
• Thread: M5 threaded interface for secure attachment to compatible probes
• Ball material: Ceramic aluminium oxide ball, ideal for abrasive surfaces that do not contain aluminium
• Stem material: Carbon fibre stem delivering exceptional rigidity with reduced weight
• Style/Type: Type J geometry optimized for precise contact in metrology applications
• Custom dimensions: Additional lengths or configurations available via configurator or by email

This combination of a lightweight carbon fibre body and a robust ceramic contact ball minimizes deflection and maximizes repeatability across measurement cycles. The low mass reduces inertial effects during rapid scans, helping you achieve smoother trajectories and more reliable data. The ceramic ball’s hardness supports durable performance on abrasive surfaces, while the M5 connection ensures broad compatibility with standard probing setups. If your application requires a different length or ball size, you can request alternatives through the configurator or by contacting us directly.
