Abstract

See full text

A surface finish stylus is described that includes an elongate stylus shaft and a contact element protruding from the elongate shaft for contacting a surface to be measured. The contact element is deformable and the stylus shaft includes a clamp for retaining the contact element, the contact element being deformed by the clamp. The contact element may comprise a metal, such as chromium steel or nitinol. The contact element includes one or more regions of weakness to cause a required deformation when retained by the clamp. The surface finish stylus may be used with a surface finish measurement probe or the like.
