Product Description
Renishaw M2 Stylus, M2 Ø1.0 mm Silicon Nitride Ball, SS Stem, L 10, EWL 4.5 [A-5004-0210]
This straight stylus features a highly spherical 1 mm silicon nitride ball mounted on a stainless steel stem. Silicon nitride is extremely hard and wear-resistant, keeping stylus wear minimal, while its low density reduces tip mass to avoid unwanted probe triggers during measurement.

Silicon nitride balls are ideal for aggressive scanning applications, particularly on aluminum or soft metals, where ruby may experience adhesive wear. Stainless steel stems provide excellent stiffness and ball/stem clearance for styli with ball diameters of 2 mm or greater and lengths up to 30 mm. For special applications, other stem materials like tungsten carbide, ceramic, or carbon fiber (“Renishaw GF”) are available.
