About Handwheels

Handwheels are manually-operated devices that revolve around an axis. They are used to adjust machinery and control access to compartments. Typically, the rim serves as a grip; however, many handwheels feature a stationary, revolving, or foldaway handle for ease of use. Several types of handwheels are available. Solid wheels do not contain openings between the outside diameter and the inner hub. Spoked wheels resemble bicycle wheels and feature multiple supports (spokes) from the inner hub to the outer part of the wheel. With flat handwheels, the outside diameter of the wheel and outer diameter of the wheel’s hub are on the same plane or a similar plane. With dished wheels, the outside diameter of the wheel and the outside diameter of the wheel’s hub are on offset planes.

Handwheels vary in terms of specifications and features. Size and bore specifications include outside diameter (OD), bore size, and bore type. Typically, both OD and bore size are expressed in inches. For round bores, bore size is the diameter size. For rectangular bores, bore size is the largest measurement across the bore’s flat dimension. Handwheels with hexagonal, square-shaped, or starter bores are also available. In terms of features, some devices include coated finishes, painted spokes, or polished wheels. Others are anodized, knurled or contain a safety clutch or finger grips.
