Styli with ceramic shafts and no threads
Probe of the Month: October 2006
These styli, part numbers QMM-06221 and QMM-06222, have ceramic shafts with no threads at all! Both have a 18 mm long base 6 mm in diameter. They step down to a 2 mm shaft, on which is bonded a 3 mm ruby ball (left) and a 5 mm ruby ball (right). Both are 61 mm long overall. We made them to order for a Midwestern USA gear manufacturer. The client placed their order on a Thursday. Their parts were shipped the following Monday. That's just 2 working days.
