It features a 3 mm ruby ball tip mounted on a stainless steel stem with an M3 thread interface. The overall length is 21 mm with an effective working length of 14.70 mm, making it suitable for standard reach probing tasks. Metrology technicians and CMM operators install this stylus when precise dimensional inspection is required. The ruby ball provides consistent hardness and wear resistance for repeatable contact measurements across production and quality control environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis stylus is used in CMM inspection setups across manufacturing, tooling, and quality assurance environments. It is suited for both shop-floor and lab-grade coordinate measuring machines that accept M3 threaded styli. The compact 21 mm overall length and 1.50 mm stem diameter make it appropriate for measuring features with moderate access clearance. It is commonly used by metrology technicians performing dimensional inspection on machined parts, castings, and assemblies in both low-volume and high-volume production settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRuby ball tip for high hardness, low wear, and repeatable contact measurement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3 mm ball diameter for general-purpose CMM probing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM3 thread connection for compatibility with standard CMM probe heads\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel stem resists corrosion and provides stable stylus rigidity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e21 mm overall length with 14.70 mm effective working length for moderate-reach access\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1.50 mm stem diameter minimizes deflection at standard probing forces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard-fitment stylus for CMM probe systems accepting M3 threaded ball styli.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCMM styli should be installed by qualified metrology technicians or CMM operators. Power down or pause the CMM and retract the probe head before changing styli to prevent damage to the probe mechanism or the ruby ball. Thread the M3 stylus carefully by hand to avoid cross-threading, and torque only to the probe manufacturer's specified value using the appropriate tool. Requalify the stylus with the CMM's reference sphere after installation to establish accurate tip position data before measuring parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBall Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 mm (0.1181 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 21 mm (0.8268 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEffective Working Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 14.70 mm (0.5787 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStem Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.50 mm (0.0591 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: M3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStylus Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ball\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ruby\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStem Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 41111900\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: RENISHAW\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: A-5000-3553\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"RENISHAW","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67908041703730,"sku":"A-5000-3553","price":51.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/caf5f4346dca360bb723f02a3c2214ca.jpg?v=1791182270","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/renishaw-a-5000-3553-cmm-ball-stylus-3mm-ruby-m3","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
