SICK Measuring Wheel Wheel 63.66 mm for Use with Encoder With 10 mm Shaft

SICK Measuring Wheel, 63.66mm Diameter, 17.5mm Height - BEF-MR-010020

This measuring wheel provides a precision wheel accessory for encoders used in automation and motion feedback systems. Designed to couple with encoders that accept a 10mm shaft, it offers a Compact solution for rotary measurement tasks in electrical, electronics and mechanical settings. The component is intended for non-hazardous environments and supports applications where a small-diameter, robust wheel is required to translate shaft rotation into accurate positional signals.

Features and Benefits:

• 63.66mm diameter delivers fine incremental feedback for encoders
  17.5mm height enables space-efficient mounting arrangements
  17.5mm depth suits confined mechanical assemblies
  Compatible with 10mm shaft encoders for straightforward fitment
  Wheel accessory form factor simplifies replacement and retrofits

Applications

• Suitable for motion feedback in small automation systems
  Ideal for retrofitting rotary encoders with limited shaft room
  Used with encoder measuring wheel 10mm shaft setups in machinery
  Can be used for incremental position sensing in control panels
  Used for encoder wheel SICK replacement in maintenance tasks

Can this wheel be fitted to any encoder shaft type?

It is configured to mount on shafts with a 10mm diameter and requires a compatible encoder coupling or bore matching that shaft size.

Is this product intended for explosive or classified locations?

No, it is specified for use in non-hazardous areas and is not certified for hazardous environments.

What advantage does the small diameter provide for measurement?

The reduced 63.66mm diameter enables higher angular resolution per unit length when used with typical encoder counts, useful where Compact installation and finer displacement sensing are needed.

How does the wheel’s form factor affect mechanical integration?

The slim 17.5mm depth and 17.5mm height minimise interference with adjacent components, making it easier to install in tight assemblies and to align with encoder housings.
