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 MWE62 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. The use of 2 measuring wheels always guarantees optimum contact with the material to be measured, even under difficult conditions.
Benefits
Robust design
With flexible mounting options: vertical, horizontal or overhead. Rotary encoder can be mounted on the spring arm in 120° steps.
High contact reliability to the measured material
The use of a second measuring wheel on the encoder ensures a high degree of contact with the measuring surface even under difficult conditions - high vibrations or unevenness.
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.
