Styli
Sort
ZEISS styli are available in a wide variety of designs. A large portfolio of standard styli for M2, M3, M3XXT or M5 threads is available. For these styli, different stylus elements made of different materials and different shaft designs are available. Furthermore, there are also styli without thread, as well as special styli for form, contour and surface measurements available.

The different shaft materials
The shaft material used and the shaft cross-section have the greatest influence on the stylus rigidity. For standard styli, ZEISS uses shafts made of a high-strength carbide. These represent a good compromise in terms of weight, deflection and thermal linear expansion. Styli with ThermoFit shafts are particularly light, stiff and have only a small linear expansion under the influence of heat. They are therefore particularly suitable for applications in the M3XXT range and for long styli with a large shaft thickness. ZEISS is the only supplier to use a high-strength Grade 5 titanium alloy for the adapters. This gives the adapters high rigidity and makes them significantly lighter than steel adapters and also makes them anti-magnetic and corrosion-resistant.
