The ITP Straight Styli Type A with a zirconia ball (TCM5Z4010022) is a precision probing accessory designed for metrology professionals who demand accuracy, stability, and durability in demanding scanning tasks. Built around a carbon fiber stem and a robust zirconium oxide ball, it excels when probing abrasive surfaces such as cast steel.

• M5 Thread: Standardized threading for quick, secure mounting in compatible probe heads and CMM interfaces.
• Overall Length: 22 mm overall length provides a compact profile for tight inspection areas and dense fixtures.
• Ball Material: Zirconia (zirconium oxide) ball delivers excellent wear resistance on abrasive surfaces for longer tip life.
• Stem Material: Carbon fiber stem offers high rigidity with very low weight to minimize deflection during probing.
• Design Purpose: Straight stylus optimized for stable contact on flat or straightforward features, enhancing repeatable data capture.
• Part Number: TCM5Z4010022 for precise ordering and traceability in inventory systems.

This combination of a lightweight, rigid stem and a hard-wearing zirconia ball translates to more consistent measurements, reduced tip wear, and improved scanning performance in challenging environments. The carbon fiber construction minimizes added mass at the probe tip, helping maintain accuracy at higher scan speeds, while the zirconia ball maintains shape and surface contact against tough materials like cast steel. Ideal for metrology labs, quality control floors, and engineering environments where repeatable, high-precision surface data is essential.
