Renishaw A-5003-2287 Cmm Ball Stylus 6mm Ruby M2

Product Description

The RENISHAW A-5003-2287 is a CMM ball stylus designed for use with coordinate measuring machines in precision metrology applications. It features a 6 mm ruby ball tip mounted on a carbon fiber stem with an M2 thread connection. The ruby contact point provides excellent hardness and wear resistance for repeatable, high-accuracy measurements. With an overall length of 50 mm and a stem diameter of 3 mm, this stylus suits a wide range of CMM touch-trigger and scanning probe configurations. Licensed metrologists, CMM operators, and quality control technicians install and configure this stylus during probe qualification routines.

This stylus is suited for dimensional inspection in manufacturing, aerospace, automotive, and precision engineering environments. It is used with CMM systems requiring an M2 threaded probe interface. The 50 mm effective working length allows access to features on workpieces that require moderate stylus reach without significant bending error. Carbon fiber construction minimizes stem deflection and reduces thermal expansion effects during measurement cycles, supporting stable, consistent data collection across extended inspection runs.

Key Features

• 6 mm ruby ball tip for high wear resistance and measurement repeatability
• M2 thread interface compatible with standard CMM probe bodies
• Carbon fiber stem reduces deflection and thermal expansion effects
• 50 mm overall length provides moderate reach for recessed or deep features
• 3 mm stem diameter balances stiffness and clearance in tight inspection areas

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-fit stylus for CMM systems using an M2 threaded probe interface. Specific system compatibility should be verified against the CMM manufacturer's probe body specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

CMM ball styli are installed and qualified by trained CMM operators or metrologists. Power down or place the CMM in a safe, parked state before changing stylus configurations. Handle the ruby ball with care to avoid chipping, which will compromise measurement accuracy. Always run a full probe qualification routine after installing or changing a stylus to ensure calibration integrity.
