Mechanical-digital position indicators General information and areas of application Measurement and indication directly on the shaft – always clearly readable and versatile. With its mechanical digital position indicators, SIKO offers customers an original and mature product line. The highly adaptable, functional concept is worldfamous and the interaction of variable gear ratios and modular roll indicators is unique. Digital indicators are a further development of the handwheel with analog displays. However, their “nonius”, a type of vernier on handwheel indicators, can only display the...

Applications SIKO position indicators are used in a wide range of sectors and for all production environments, as almost all machines and systems feature guide elements, material stops or tools which require precise and reliable positioning or alignment. SIKO counters are ideal adjustment aids in the metal, plastic and wood processing industries. The digital position indicators are ideal for monitoring roller adjustment on sheet metal bending machines. The solid cast design of the counters withstands the extreme mechanical influences under tough conditions such as those on round sheet...

Mechanical-digital position indicators Technical details Determining decimal points Ordering code for decimal place 0 1 2 3 4 The following table shows the digital point principle of the digital indicators. For example, to obtain the reading “10.0”, the indicator must count “100” with the decimal place 1 after the first rotation. During series production, the decimal point is marked by a colored intermediate ring. The sense of rotation of the axis influences the gear unit installed in the digital indicator. Digital position indicators are available in two directions of rotation in relation to...

Mounting torque support The radius of the shaft is added to the space measurement between the hollow shaft and torque shaft. This measurement is marked on the mounting surface with a slide gauge and scriber [1], then center-punched [2] and drilled (for the drilling diameter and depth refer to the technical drawings). After correct pre-drilling, stress-free mounting of the position indicator must be possible [3, 4]. Locking on the shaft The set screw is screwed in and tightened for reliable locking on the shaft. If axial seals are used, the set screw must be screwed in until it is flush (if...

Mechanical-digital position indicators Function and benefit Ambient conditions Direct display after x,y adjustment Easy mounting Precise positioning Flexible indication of values mm or inch E.g., compound tables, planing or dowel drilling machines … Direct rotation: Direct action via axle or spindle. The principle of action corresponds to that of a compound table or of linear guides. E.g., tooling in the lumber and metal industries E.g., rewind cutting machines in the paper/foil industries Exact angle indication Variable diameters Variable mounting positions E.g., angle adjustment units on...
