Capture linear movements rotationally
Measuring wheel systems from Kübler are the ideal solution for reliable speed, position and distance measurement in applications with linear movements. These are recorded rotationally via the measuring wheel with attached encoder directly on the surface of the material to be measured and converted into linear data.
The robust MWE61 measuring wheel system offers maximum spring travel at maximum contact force to compensate for tolerances perpendicular to the transport movement of the material to be measured.
Benefits
Robust design
With flexible mounting options: vertical, horizontal or overhead. Encoder can be mounted on the spring arm in 120° increments.
Wide range of encoders
Incremental Sendix rotary encoder with a max. resolution of up to 36,000 pulses/revolution as well as absolute rotary encoders for different communication interfaces such as IO-Link or Profinet for integration in Industry 4.0 concepts.
Suitable measuring wheels for all measuring surfaces
Circumference 300 mm or 12" - Measuring wheel lining available with O-ring or double O-ring, smooth or knurled plastic, cross-knurled surface and knobs.
Contact pressure up to max. 40 N
With continuously adjustable preload. To compensate for tolerances, the integrated spring ensures a working range of the measuring wheel up to a maximum of 150 mm perpendicular to the measuring surface.
