Stylus M3 Zirconium Oxide Ball, Stainless Steel Stem

Straight styli are used to detect easily reachable features on the measured surface. Because of the specific surface properties of contact points made of zirconium oxide - a ceramic compound with high wear resistance – they are acknowledged as the best choice for aggressive scanning of abrasive surfaces, such as workpieces made of cast iron. Zirconium oxide provides a smooth and frictionless sliding performance on rough surfaces. Stainless steel is the primary material of choice for high-strength precision styli and extensions If weight can be disregarded.
