Measuring wheel systemsSystems for speed measurement, position detection and length measurement

Measuring wheel systems from Kübler are the ideal solution for reliable speed measurement, 
position detection and length 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. Integrated springs ensure the contact force of the measuring wheel on the surface of the material to be measured, which is necessary for reliable measurement.

Measuring wheel systems are used for the acquisition of linear movements

MEASURING WHEEL SYSTEMS

The linear motion (a) of a material to be measured is converted into a rotary motion (b) by an applied measuring wheel (or pulley or pinion). An attached incremental or absolute encoder (c) detects this rotary motion and converts it into velocity, position and displacement values.the linear resolution of the measuring wheel system (mm) results from the ratio of the measuring wheel circumference to the rotary resolution of the encoder (ppr).

Application

Measurement of speeds, positions and distances directly on conveyor belts, steel and sheet metal working machines, storage and conveyor technology, sorting systems, conveyor belts, textile machines, in the printing and paper industry, etc.
