ABSTRACT:
A contact sensing probe with a cylindrical housing component (1), with a bearing (4) and a hemispherical element (3), possesses a stylus (13) which displaces the hemispherical element (3) and, with that, the transmission element (2). A measured value converter (14) is provided within the contact sensing probe. The running surfaces (1a, 2a) of the housing component (1) and the transmission element (2) comprise high strength ceramic material with a mean roughness value R.sub.a of .ltoreq.0.8 .mu.m, respectively 32 .mu.in. Rotational security is provided not only for the hemispherical element (3) but also for the transmission element (2).
