Jergens 22101 Spoked Offset Handwheel 6 Inch Aluminum

Product Description

The JERGENS 22101 is a spoked offset handwheel machined from lightweight aluminum with a plain finish. Designed for manual control applications in industrial and mechanical systems, it provides a firm, ergonomic grip for operators adjusting valves, machine tools, fixtures, and similar equipment. The handwheel measures 6 inches in handle diameter with a wheel thickness of 0.75 inches and an overall height of 2 inches. Three spokes support the hub, which measures 1.4375 inches in length and 1.5 inches in diameter. The handle thread size is 5/16 inches. Its aluminum construction keeps weight low at 1.7 pounds while maintaining durability in light-duty service environments.

The 22101 suits residential, commercial, and light industrial installations where a reliable manual handwheel is needed on valves, presses, conveyors, or machine tool assemblies. The offset design positions the handle away from the wheel plane, reducing knuckle clearance issues in tight mounting configurations. The plain finish aluminum is suitable for dry or low-moisture environments. Installers working on custom fixtures or retrofitting existing equipment will find the standard 5/16-inch thread size compatible with common threaded spindle configurations.

Key Features

• 6-inch handle diameter for adequate torque leverage in manual operation
• Offset hub design reduces knuckle interference in confined mounting areas
• Three-spoke aluminum construction provides strength while minimizing weight
• 5/16-inch handle thread size fits common threaded spindle applications
• Plain finish aluminum suitable for light-duty dry service environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style or replacement manual handwheel for valves, machine tools, and mechanical fixtures requiring a 5/16-inch threaded spindle connection with an offset hub configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by millwrights, maintenance technicians, or machine tool operators using standard hand tools. Ensure the mating spindle thread is clean and undamaged before installation. Shut down and lock out any powered equipment before mounting or removing the handwheel per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Do not use the handwheel as a lever or apply impact force to the spokes during installation.
