70x18x25mm Press Roller Rubber Wheel With Countersink For IMA Edgebanders

Need the top flat pressure wheel for an IMA, OTT, Brandt or Holz-Her edgebander? The PSW047 is a grey smooth rubber roller of φ70 × φ18 × 25 mm, fitted with a φ30 mm countersink 5.4 mm deep, supplied without bearing. It is the wheel IMA lists under machine code EB.IM.80.60.27 and article 00040516, and OTT lists under article 40000304. It seats directly in the top pressure position of IMA ADVANTAGE and Homag Brandt FC1440 edgebanders. One wheel replaces one worn station.

An edgebander that starts leaving a visible glue line usually has one worn contact point, not a broken machine. Three symptoms come from the same part: a wavy band edge where the pressure wheel has gone out of round, a glue line opening by a millimetre at the trimming station, and a wheel running off-centre on a worn oval bore.

The PSW047 is the upper flat pressure roller of an edgebander pressure section: φ70 mm outside diameter, φ18 mm bore, 25 mm wide, smooth grey rubber, without bearing, with a countersink φ30 mm across and 5.4 mm deep. That recess lets the bolt head sit flush below the face, so the face stays flat over its full width instead of crowning where the bolt pulls.

Fit is cross-referenced by number, not by picture: IMA machine code EB.IM.80.60.27, IMA article 00040516, OTT article 40000304. It runs at the top pressure position on IMA, OTT, Brandt and Holz-Her machines, including IMA ADVANTAGE and Homag Brandt FC1440. Being bearingless, the bore is the only rotating fit.

Grey compound marks a light board and a dark board the same way, where a soft black wheel prints a ring on white melamine. The surface is smooth, not geared, so it drives the band by friction alone; geared versions exist if your unit needs teeth. Servicing is one bolt out, one wheel in.

Nine measurable facts decide whether this wheel fits your pressure section.

• Countersink seat, machined to depth — a φ30 mm recess 5.4 mm deep holds the bolt head below the face, so the face stays level over its full 25 mm width.
• Three sizes, one fit — φ70 mm outside, φ18 mm bore, 25 mm wide. Those numbers decide whether the wheel sits square against the panel.
• Bearingless by design — no bearing to seize. The bore runs on its shaft, so the only wear part is the rubber touching the board.
• Smooth face for finished panels — grey compound, no teeth; contact spreads over the full 25 mm face instead of a few points.
• Matchable by article number — IMA 00040516, OTT 40000304, IMA machine code EB.IM.80.60.27. Quote the number and the fit stops being a guess.
• One wheel, four brands — the same top pressure position on IMA ADVANTAGE, Homag Brandt FC1440, OTT and Holz-Her edgebanders.
• Eight configurations in the family — smooth or geared, with or without bearing, with or without countersink; geared wheels come in straight tracking and angle tracking.
• Countersink cut into the rubber — no loose spacer between bolt head and roller to be lost at a changeover.
• Consumable, not an assembly — one 25 mm wheel through a single φ18 mm bore, replaced in one bolt swap.

When a pressure wheel wears you get three bad choices: accept the rework, send the panel through by hand, or buy a whole assembly for one rubber disc. This part removes the third.

• Replace one disc, not one assembly. A 25 mm roller comes off through a single bolt in its φ18 mm bore, so a worn station is a consumable swap, not a pressure-section teardown.
• The face stays flat where it touches the band. The 5.4 mm countersink keeps the bolt head under the surface, so the full width presses the band evenly.
• One bin slot covers four brands. IMA ADVANTAGE, Homag Brandt FC1440, OTT and Holz-Her take this wheel at the top pressure position.
• Order by number, stop guessing. 00040516 for IMA, 40000304 for OTT; three numbers turn a photo comparison into a lookup.
• No bearing, so one inspection point. Measure the φ70 mm diameter and the φ18 mm bore; if both are in size there is no hidden bearing to check before you refit.
• Grey face protects finished panels. A smooth grey surface leaves no dark transfer ring on white melamine and no scuff on dark foil.
• A worn wheel costs minutes, not a shift. One bolt, one 25 mm wheel, and the pressure section is back in production without waiting for an outside service.

It fits the top pressure position on IMA, OTT, Brandt and Holz-Her edgebanders. Named machines include IMA ADVANTAGE and Homag Brandt FC1440, and the wheel is cross-referenced as IMA machine code EB.IM.80.60.27, IMA article 00040516 and OTT article 40000304.

This is the countersink version. The recess is φ30 mm in diameter and 5.4 mm deep, so the bolt head sits below the roller face instead of standing proud of it.

φ70 × φ18 × 25 mm — φ70 mm outside diameter, φ18 mm bore, 25 mm width. Check those three against the worn wheel you are replacing before ordering.

No, the PSW047 is supplied without bearing. The bore itself is the running fit, so the bore diameter is worth checking with a caliper on any wheel you take off.

No. The surface is smooth and grey rather than soft black, so it does not print a dark transfer ring on light boards and does not scuff dark foil.

Yes. The same pressure wheel family is made as a gear roller, and gear versions come in straight tracking and angle tracking types, with or without bearing and with or without countersink.

Match four things on the wheel you are replacing: outside diameter, bore, width, and whether there is a recess for the bolt. PSW047 is the smooth, bearingless, countersink wheel at φ70 × φ18 × 25 mm.

Send the part number and the quantity. Write PSW047, or the IMA article 00040516 / OTT article 40000304, and say how many pressure stations you are replacing; pricing comes back against that list.
