It features a ruby ball point mounted on a solid carbide stem with an M4 threaded connection. The ruby ball measures 3 mm in diameter, and the stylus has an overall length of approximately 1.97 inches (50 mm). Ruby is the preferred ball material in CMM work due to its hardness and resistance to wear, helping maintain measurement repeatability over high-cycle use. This stylus is installed by metrology technicians and quality control professionals working in manufacturing and inspection environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis stylus is suited for touch-trigger and scanning probe heads that accept M4 threaded styli. The compact 50 mm overall length makes it well suited for measuring features with moderate reach requirements without introducing excessive stylus deflection. It is commonly used in quality labs and on the shop floor for inspecting machined components, bores, surfaces, and geometric features on production parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3 mm ruby ball tip for wear resistance and consistent measurement accuracy\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide stem minimizes deflection and supports repeatable stylus seating\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM4 threaded connection compatible with standard CMM probe extensions and modules\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e50 mm overall length provides moderate reach for a wide range of inspection tasks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight construction at 0.2 pounds supports use with sensitive probe heads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit stylus for CMM probe systems accepting M4 threaded ball styli.

Power down or disable the CMM and retract the probe before changing styli to avoid damage to the probe head or stylus. Use the appropriate stylus wrench and avoid over-tightening the M4 thread, as excessive torque can damage the stylus or probe module. After installation, run a qualification routine to recalibrate the stylus tip position before taking measurements.\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\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length (OAL)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 50 mm (approximately 1.97 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: M4\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBall Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ruby\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStem Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2 pounds\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-5003-3680\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"RENISHAW","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67914971906354,"sku":"A-5003-3680","price":131.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/52598dc580dfbd0019c7dbe94ba9dd8c.jpg?v=1791251737","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/renishaw-a-5003-3680-cmm-ball-stylus-3mm-m4-ruby","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
