Handwheel VRTP.160+IR A-16 Z012815

Handwheel – a reliable control element

The VRTP.160+IR A-16 handwheel is a solid and functional element designed for precise control of mechanical devices. Made of high-impact technopolymer based on polypropylene (PP), it is characterized by high resistance to solvents, oils, greases and other chemicals. This makes it an ideal solution in demanding industrial environments, as well as in applications related to the food, pharmaceutical and medical industries – the material has FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) certification.

The wheel's construction is based on a solid polypropylene frame, which ensures strength and stability during use. In addition, the wheel is equipped with a self-adhesive disc made of anodized aluminum, allowing for easy marking or identification. Model VRTP.160+IR A-16 has a folding handle (type IR.620) made of polyamide (PA), which increases comfort and facilitates operation in tight spaces. All metal elements are made of stainless steel AISI 304 and AISI 316L, which guarantees corrosion resistance and long-term reliability.

Construction and assembly – simplicity and functionality

The VRTP.160+IR A-16 handwheel is characterized by a well-thought-out design that facilitates assembly and disassembly. The hub is made of black oxidized steel with a bore standardized to tolerance H7, ensuring a precise fit to the shaft. Mounting is done by pressing, and disassembly is possible by pressing on the outer edge of the wheel – this original solution from ELESA facilitates servicing and component replacement. The solid frame construction without rear recesses makes it easier to maintain hygiene and clean the wheel, which is particularly important in applications requiring high sanitary standards.
