Since the invention of handwheels with analog-mechanical position indicators by company founder Dr. Günther Wandres in 1963, SIKO has found worldwide acclaim as a leading, innovative manufacturer of mechanical position indicators for distance and angle measurement in mechanical engineering. Devices with a pendulum system, which are easy to mount, are commonly used in the area of analog position indicators. Due to the gravimetric measuring principle, however, they can only be mounted on a horizontal spindle.
The SIKO DK03 Control Knob is equipped with a torque arm. This does away with the need for the pendulum weight, and the position indicator can be used reliably in any mounting position. The innovative gear construction provides direct transmission of the torque from the handwheel to the spindle and simultaneous display of minimal deflections as a measurement value on the scale.
The compact, ergonomic shape of the knurled knob and the optional star knob allow safe, precise manual positioning of all stops and roller or tool positions in mechanical engineering. Customized scale imprints optimally suited to the individual application are available even with single-piece orders.
