Types of Wheels
CHOOSING A POTTER'S WHEEL Types of Wheels There are two basic categories of potter's wheels: 1. Electric "sit down" wheels which are variable speed wheels about 20" high. 2. Kickwheels which are usually foot powered but can be motorized. These are massive wheels weighing 200 - 300 pounds turned by the momentum of a heavy 'flywheel'. Electric Wheels These are the most popular types of wheels because of their ease of operation. With a slight touch of your foot, the wheelhead can turn from 0 to 250 RPM allowing the potter to concentrate on the piece rather than the mechanics of the wheel. In this category there are three basic methods of driving the wheelhead: (1) Belt/pulley, (2) Gear box/direct drive, and (3) Cone/pulley. There are also three basic methods of varying the speed of the wheelhead: (1) Electronically with an SCR controller and DC motor, (2) Electrically with a power transformer and DC motor, and (3) Mechanically with a cone moving along a pulley with an AC motor. Drive Systems W H E E L S 1. The belt/pulley uses a small pulley (approx. 11/2") on the motor shaft connected to a large pulley (approx. 12") connected to the wheelhead by means of a belt. Though capable of slipping, with the proper tension they work well and are the most popular method of driving wheelheads. Used by Brent, Soldner and Creative Industries. 2. The gear box/direct drive uses a gear box (like a small car transmission—a series of various size gears) in direct contact with the shaft of the wheelhead. This provides for no slippage but some power is lost in the transmission and a little more care is required to check the fluid level periodically. 3. The cone/pulley has a stainless steel cone mounted on the end of an AC motor turning at one constant speed (for maximum torque). The cone moves along a hard rubber pulley and the friction and varying diameters of the cone provide the drive and the variable speed. Used by Shimpo on the RK 10 models. Variable Speed The way in which a wheelhead achieves its variable speed (generally 0 to 250 RPM) from a motor that normally turns around 1800 RPM is the major issue wheel manufacturers face when deciding to make wheels. There are three basic ways. 1. Electronically with an SCR controller and a DC motor with the necessary current adjusters. This provides moderately good torque at all speeds but is weak at low speeds, especially when weighed down with a maximum load of clay. This type is sometimes known to jerk at low speeds with a maximum clay load. A noticeable hum is usually present. A short stroke footpedal that moves about 2" or so is typical, and this is a minor drawback—it is difficult to find a spot between medium and fast without fine tuning with a micrometer. However, overall, they are pretty reliable and trouble free. 2. Electrically with a magnetic transformer and a DC motor. This eliminates many of the objectionable features of the SCR controller such as hum, low speed jerking, and the short stroke footpedal. Although the foot pedal is somewhat cumbersome, the four inch stroke of the footpedal is extremely smooth. 3. Mechanically with a stainless steel cone mounted on the shaft of an AC motor turning at constant speed for maximum torque. The footpedal is connected to the base of the motor and, as the footpedal is moved, the entire motor moves along rails engaging the cone against a hard rubber pulley under the wheel head. This wheel usually starts in the 20 RPM range due to the mechanics of engaging the cone against the pulley. The footpedal must be mounted to side of the wheel (to move the motor) and more pressure must be exerted to push the motor into contact with the pulley. A hand lever is usually provided for ease and 59 more control. The hand lever also helps if you're standing on a table throwing five foot pots and trying to push the pedal. Some slippage is possible as on a belt system, but the main feature is in the strength of the torque provided by a constantly turning one speed motor. Kickwheels A kickwheel is a necessarily large wheel driven by the momentum of the flywheel under the wheelhead. The flywheel is usually kicked, hence, the name kickwheel. While most kickwheels are powered by foot there has been a growing trend lately toward motorization mainly to aid in the centering cycle. The normal weight of a flywheel is about 100 pounds but can be as high as 200 pounds. However, weight is only one consideration in choosing a kickwheel. A rim weighted flywheel provides more momentum that a core weighted flywheel of considerably greater weight. On the other hand, if you have very short legs, a wide diameter flywheel heavily rim weighted may be harder for you to kick than a narrower diameter flywheel. Motorized Kickwheels There are two ways of motorizing a kickwheel that seem practical today: 1. Flywheel driven uses a 1 speed motor (1/4 H.P. is more than sufficient) with a small (3") hard rubber 'puck' mounted on the motor shaft. The motor is hinged with a spring action so that as you pull the motor against the flywheel (either on the top rim or outside edge of the flywheel) the rubber puck turns the flywheel. This requires that the top or rim of the flywheel be steel or steel-covered cement or the puck will wear out or flatten out and not turn smoothly. This is probably the most common way kickwheels are motorized. Some motors are connected to microswitches which only go on when you engage the motor and others have a switch near the work space, meaning you either have to keep switching the motor on and off or leave it running all the time. 2. Shaft driven requires a large rubber puck or small tire. This small tire (about 8-10") is mounted on the shaft about halfway between the wheelhead and the flywheel. The motor shaft rubs against the tire, which then turns the flywheel. This method eliminates the problem of uneven wear and slight bumpiness characteristic of flywheel driven kickwheels not properly balanced or machined. These wheels usually have a foot lever, not an on/off switch. All About Motors Horsepower ratings, like the wattage rating for amplifiers, are somewhat misleading. Motor manufacturers rate motors according to their standards, but wheel manufacturers rate their motors in terms of the power produced at the wheelhead. This is valid from a mechanical point of view because it takes into account the effect that the reduction in the speed of the motor has on the work it will do. For example, a 1/2 H.P. motor usually turns at 1750 RPM at the shaft but when connected to a large pulley, say 12", the speed at the wheelhead is reduced to 250 RPM. That reduction in speed also represents an increase in power or torque similar to a lever. So a properly reduced 1/2 H.P. motor is really doing the work of a 1 H.P. motor not reduced in speed. Therefore the horsepower rating is only one criteria when choosing a wheel. How much clay a wheel will center without undue strain or slowing down is the more important consideration. All of the motors used by wheel manufacturers are virtually maintenance free and are under warranty by the motor manufacturers as well as the wheel manufacturers. Under normal conditions, the only thing that may need changing are motor brushes (small pieces of carbon which make contact with the rotor). Changing brushes is relatively simple and only need to be replaced every 5000 hours of use which comes out to 4 hours per day, 5 days per week, for 5 years. Think it, Create it! A.R.T.

The 14” wheel head (standard on both models) is manufactured from a 135/8 inch diameter steel plate which is welded to a 25 mm (.984”) steel shaft. This wheel head can never come loose from its shaft. A reinforced engineering plastic is the injection-molded around the steel plate and over part of the steel shaft as a bearing cover to ensure that clay or water can’t get to this component and damage it. Two large electric motor-quality bearings support the shaft. The table top and legs are manufactured from an injection molded, reinforced engineering thermoplastic molded with deep ribs for strength while being light in weight. Since the color is molded throughout the material, it cannot be scratched off and, of course, plastic doesn’t rust. Amp variation depends on the user and the amount of clay placed on the wheel. Advantages of a Creative Industries Wheel • Smooth, soft electronic feel rather than the mechanical feel of other wheels. • Permanent magnet DC motors with exceptionally low vibration. • Electronic filter system to eliminate motor hum for quieter, “humless” operation. • Sophisticated solid state electronic load sensing control which maintains wheel head speed under changing loads. • Adjustable high and low speeds (0-240 RPM is standard). • Ultra smooth speed changes by computer control. • Friction adjustment for foot pedal stiffness. • Micro V belt system for extra smoothness and quietness. • All wheels have the same size table top and frame. • 5-year warranty, 100% parts and labor.
