Mar 12, 2002 Measuring Wheels are available in 6 in., 12 in., 1/3 meter, 200mm, 300mm, 400mm, and 500mm with choice of rubber or knurled aluminum contact surfaces. Cube Series Accu-Coder(TM) encoders with dual shafts work well in measuring wheel applications, since putting measuring wheel on each shaft results in twice the traction and improves bearing load by leveling radial pressure.
