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

SICK Measuring Wheel, 63.66mm Diameter, 17.5mm Depth - BEF-MR010020R

This measuring wheel is an accessory designed to Interface with rotary encoders to convert linear motion into rotational feedback for automation and control systems. It is intended for use with encoders that accept a 10mm shaft and serves as a sub-type wheel component within encoder assemblies, providing a Compact solution for motion detection tasks in industrial environments.

Features and Benefits:

• 63.66mm diameter gives consistent rotational reference for encoders 17.5mm depth supports stable contact profile for measurement 17mm height offers a low-profile fit for confined assemblies Compatible with 10mm shaft encoders for straightforward integration Manufactured by SICK to align with industrial component standards

Applications

• Suitable for position feedback in conveyor monitoring systems Ideal for retrofitting rotary encoders in automation equipment Used with 10mm shaft encoder replacements in control panels Can be used for incremental distance sensing in mechanical drives

What shaft size is required to mount it?

It mounts on a 10mm shaft commonly found on many incremental encoders, enabling direct coupling without adaptors.

How does the wheel form factor affect installation clearance?

The 17mm height and 17.5mm depth create a Compact envelope that eases installation into tight encoder housings or small mechanical assemblies.

Which diameter should I account for when calculating pulses per metre?

Use the 63.66mm effective diameter to determine circumference and correlate encoder pulses to linear distance for accurate measurements.

Is this item intended as a standalone sensor or a component?

It is an accessory wheel intended to be used as part of an encoder assembly rather than a complete sensing unit.
