Planning Guide

Plan the right fit before choosing

Start with fit

Check bore style and bore size

A handwheel must match the mounting arrangement of the compatible equipment. The category includes round bores in 0.500 in., 0.750 in., and 11 mm sizes, plus keyed bores in 12 mm and 14 mm sizes. The solid disk design has a 30 mm bore.

  • Choose round-bore models for compatible round-shaft applications.
  • Choose keyed-bore clutch models for compatible shaft and keyway arrangements.
  • Verify the stated bore measurement before selecting a wheel.
Compare wheel designs

Select the control style that suits the task

Spoked handwheels create an accessible turning surface for controlled operation. Aluminum spoked models are available with revolving handles for a dedicated grip during turning. Pull-engaged clutch handwheels are designed to be engaged by pulling for manual adjustment, while the solid disk wheel provides a straightforward hand-operated interface.

  • Spoked designs are available in steel and aluminum.
  • Revolving-handle options are available on selected aluminum spoked wheels.
  • Clutch handwheels use a pull-to-engage design and have friction bearings.
  • The solid disk model has no hand piece included.
Plan around size and material

Balance wheel diameter with equipment requirements

The listed handwheels range from 3.94 in. to 15.75 in. in diameter. Steel spoked options offer a robust body designed for shocks and knocks, while aluminum options provide lightweight or metal handwheel choices for machine hardware applications.
