ML6 overmolded encoder wheels provide reliable motion feedback and indexing in automation systems. Molded to final dimensions for low runout and long life, they ensure consistent traction and accurate encoder readings—even in high-speed, high-cycle environments.
- Designed for precision feedback and indexing applications for industrial automation systems.
- Precision molded for low runout and reliable, repeatable encoder readings
- Molded from ML6 polyurethane for consistent traction and minimal surface wear on tracking materials.
- Available in a wide range of durometers, sizes, and mounting configurations, including keyed and press-fit hubs.
Molded encoder wheels are manufactured for precise motion feedback in automation, labeling, and converting systems. Our overmolded encoder wheels deliver consistent traction and low runout, ensuring reliable signal generation for speed, position, and distance tracking. ML6 polyurethane encoder wheels are ideal for high-cycle environments where consistent performance and minimal maintenance are critical.
ML6 molded encoder wheels are available with a variety of core and mounting configurations, including slip-fit with set screws, keyed, and press-fit. ML6 polyurethane ensures smooth rolling across belts, webs, or moving substrates—without slippage, wear, or damage to delicate materials; providing high quality and reliable encoder signals.
ML6 encoder wheels are available in both SAE and Metric sizes and can be customized across a wide range of durometers, diameters, profiles, and mounting geometries to meet specific application requirements. Each wheel is molded to final dimensions—eliminating the need for post-machining—and is produced with exacting tolerances for consistent, repeatable performance. Meridian Laboratory offers cost-effective solutions with rapid lead times, from low-volume prototypes to full-scale production.
All ML6 polyurethane encoder wheels are molded with Meridian Laboratory’s proprietary ML6 compound, delivering superior bond strength, abrasion resistance, and high-friction.
Meridian Laboratory’s precision molding process ensures tight tolerances and total indicated runout (TIR) as low as 0.0015", making ML6 encoder wheels a preferred solution for accurate and dependable encoder feedback.
