Power Feeder Press Wheel Rubber Pressure Roller Rubber COMATIC Power Feed Roller

The press wheel is the part of a power feeder that wears out first: once its rubber face glazes, boards slip and feed rate stops repeating. This replacement drops on without modification. 60 mm face, 15 mm bore, 48 mm or 58 mm outside diameter, sizes 48X15X60mm and 58X15X60mm, red or yellow rubber on a durable core, listed as a spare for COMATIC power feeders. Measure the old wheel with a caliper, order the diameter it carried, and the feeder grips the board again.

A power feeder does not fail at the motor, it fails at the rubber. Three things happen in order: the face of the press wheel takes on a glaze, the board starts slipping under pressure, and feed rate stops repeating until somebody stands at the infeed pushing stock by hand. Shops then wait weeks for the machine builder's own roller, or fit a wheel whose bore was never measured. This one is sold against its own dimensions, which settles the second problem.

It is a rubber pressure roller for the feed position of a COMATIC power feeder, listed as 48X15X60mm and 58X15X60mm: 48 mm or 58 mm outside diameter, 15 mm bore, 60 mm face length. Rubber does the gripping and the durable core keeps the bore round, so it runs true on the shaft instead of running out and marking the board.

Colour is the only other variable: red or yellow. Rubber is what meets the timber, so the specification stays short on purpose: a wear part is chosen by fit, not by features.

Two sizes share one bore. 48X15X60mm and 58X15X60mm both run a 15 mm bore and a 60 mm face and differ only in outside diameter. Both are listed as spares for power feeders and priced on request. Keeping one of each on the shelf turns a glazed wheel from a stopped machine into a swap.

On a wear part the fit is the feature, so everything below is measured rather than described.

• 48 mm and 58 mm outside diameters. Two press wheels on the same bore and the same face, so the diameter on the machine decides, not what is in the drawer.
• 15 mm bore. The hole the feeder shaft passes through, and the first number to check with a caliper before ordering.
• 60 mm face length. The strip of rubber that presses the board is 60 mm wide, matched to the shaft it replaces.
• Rubber face on a durable core. Rubber where grip is needed, core where the bore has to stay round, which is the material called out for this part.
• Red or yellow. Two colours in the range, so a drawer holding both diameters can be read at a glance without a caliper.
• COMATIC fitment. Listed as a spare for COMATIC power feeders, in the pressure position where the wheel meets the stock.
• Elastic, wear-resistant rubber. The two characteristics named for this wheel: elasticity for pressure, wear resistance on a 60 mm contact face.
• One-for-one swap. Same bore, same face and same mounting height as the worn wheel, so nothing else on the feeder is touched.
• Two sizes, one stock line. 48X15X60mm and 58X15X60mm cover both feed heights without a second part number to administer.

A worn press wheel usually leaves two bad options: wait on the machine builder's roller and lose the feeder for weeks, or fit whatever wheel is in the drawer, whose bore never matched. A wear part sold by dimension removes the second half of that problem.

• The feeder stays in service. What wears is the 60 mm rubber face, so what gets replaced is a wheel, not the feed unit sitting on top of the machine.
• Both diameters, one decision. 48X15X60mm and 58X15X60mm share the 15 mm bore, so the only question at the counter is which outer diameter came off.
• Grip restored at the rubber. A new 60 mm rubber face puts pressure back where the glazed face had stopped gripping, without touching feeder settings.
• Colour as a bench marker. Two colours mean the red and the yellow wheel can be told apart at arm's length when both diameters are stocked.
• A predictable re-order. Two sizes and two colours is the entire range, so the second order repeats the first, size for size.
• Fits a COMATIC feeder as a spare. Listed for COMATIC power feeders in the press position, so it is ordered as a part rather than adapted as a wheel.
• Priced per size. Quotes go out against the diameter and quantity you ask for, so a mixed order of both sizes prices line by line.

Yes, if the three numbers on the old wheel match. This roller is listed as a spare for COMATIC power feeders with a 48 mm or 58 mm outside diameter, a 15 mm bore and a 60 mm face, so a caliper on the worn wheel answers it in a minute.

Order the diameter that came off the machine. Both sizes are built on the same 15 mm bore and 60 mm face, so outside diameter is the only difference between them.

Outside diameter, bore and face length, in that order. So 48X15X60mm is a 48 mm wheel on a 15 mm bore with a 60 mm face, and 58X15X60mm is the same wheel at 58 mm outside.

Rubber outside, with a durable core inside. The rubber supplies the grip on the board and the core carries the 15 mm bore, which is what keeps the wheel running true on the shaft.

No. Red and yellow are two stock colours for the same rubber wheel; the size is what changes behaviour on the machine, not the colour, so pick the one that matches your shelf.

The roller only. Nothing else is listed with it, no shaft, bearing or fastener, so the hardware already on the feeder is reused when the worn wheel comes off.

Yes, when the slipping comes from a glazed or worn rubber face. Grip is the 60 mm rubber strip meeting the timber, and a fresh face restores that contact without changing the feeder's pressure setting.

Ask for a quote and state the size and the quantity. Price is given on request for 48X15X60mm and 58X15X60mm separately, because the mix of diameters and colours changes the answer.
