1553 Series - Measuring Wheels

Description

Our measuring wheels are diecast and machined to the highest standards of quality. Circumferences of 1 foot, and 1/3 meter are standard, and are accurate to 0.1% of stated size. Two bore sizes are provided, which fit most mechanical counters with 5/16” (6.4 mm) or 1/4” (8.0 mm) diameter shafts. Recessed set-screws secure the wheel firmly to the shaft. Choose from 1/2” (12.7 mm) or 1” (25.4 mm) width – rubber, smooth aluminum, or knurled aluminum contact surfaces, for the most reliable contact with the measured material. A special purpose tapered grooved wheel (1/2” width only) is ideal for accurate measurement of materials such as thread, wire, rope, braid, and cable, from smallest diameter to more than 1/4” (6.4 mm) diameter. When used with counters with 1:1 or 1:10 drive ratios, these wheels will produce highly accurate resolutions of 1 foot or 1/10 foot. With geared drive counters, resolution of yards, or 1/8 yard is possible. 1/3 meter wheels are typically used with 3:1 drive ratio counters, for resolution of meters.
