Renishaw A-5000-3603 Cmm Ball Stylus 2mm Ruby M2

Product Description

The RENISHAW A-5000-3603 is a CMM ball stylus designed for coordinate measuring machine probing applications. It features a 2 mm ruby ball tip mounted on a stainless steel stem with M2 thread connection. The ruby ball provides excellent hardness and wear resistance, supporting consistent, repeatable contact measurements. Overall length is 20 mm with an effective working length of 14 mm. The stem diameter measures 1.27 mm. This stylus is installed by metrology technicians and quality control professionals working with CMM systems in manufacturing and inspection environments.

This stylus is suited for precision dimensional inspection in both production and quality lab settings. It fits CMM probe heads that accept M2 threaded styli, making it applicable across a range of touch-trigger and scanning probe configurations. The compact 2 mm ball diameter allows access to smaller features and tighter geometries. Typical applications include inspection of machined components, castings, and tooling where accurate surface contact and low measurement uncertainty are required.

Key Features

• 2 mm ruby ball tip for high wear resistance and dimensional stability
• Stainless steel stem resists corrosion and provides rigidity during probing
• M2 thread for direct mounting to compatible CMM probe modules
• 14 mm effective working length for access to recessed features
• 20 mm overall length suits standard probe extension configurations
• 1.27 mm stem diameter minimizes deflection on short-reach measurements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or spare stylus for CMM probe systems accepting M2 threaded ball styli.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by metrology technicians familiar with CMM probe qualification procedures. The CMM should be taken offline and the probe head de-energized before changing styli. M2 threaded styli should be hand-tightened using the appropriate stylus wrench to avoid cross-threading or overtorque of the probe mount. After installation, the stylus must be re-qualified through the CMM software before resuming measurement routines.
