The name of a Caster Wheel - Stützrad

[Robot]

Hi, I'm looking for a bit of Fishertechnik, it is a called a Toothed Cam and Ball in English, but I don't know its German equivalent. I've searched with google and only discovered that the toothed cam part is called a Nocken. It is based on that part, but with a ball bearing and enclosing parts to hold the ball in place and make a caster wheel. It was sold as a single unit, rather than something you could make from other parts, does anyone know its German name so I can request from Fishertechnik a price, or if it can be obtained from ebay? Thanks

Hello and welcome Robot!

I'm not aware of any original ft part with ball bearings. The closest to "cam and ball" is maybe the "Nockenscheibe":
Nockenscheibe 20-35 (gray: 31038, black: 35466)
or the Segmentscheibe Z12 m1,5 120° (gray: 31037, black: 110349)

(you can enter ft part numbers at http://www.knobloch-gmbh.de , then --> Einzelteile, or at http://www.fischertechnik-museum.ch , then --> fischertechnik-Einzelteile to see pictures.)

If those are not what you're looking for then maybe you could give more details, in particular the dimensions of the parts you need.

greetings,

Thanks for your help Harold, I've got a photo of its top. Its a toothed cam with the a metal enclosure around the ball. I've contacted fischertechnik but no luck so far.

If you are in a need of an online- dictionary you may want to try this one:

Und dies ist die deutsche Version:

Okay, it does not translate the official ft-names 1:1 but it can aid you with such words like cam and so on. Forget about the so called "translations" by g_____, they most often are funny but seldomly serious.

Hallo!

@Harald:
ftmuseum.ch wird aber schon lange nicht mehr gepflegt.
Hier wäre es wohl sinnvoller auf http://www.ft-datenbank.de zu linken.

Hallo Sven,
Im Prinzip hast du ja Recht.
Aber bei dem Tempo, mit dem fischertechnik mit neuen Teilen, ääh, um sich schmeißt, bleibt das fischertechnikmuseum noch eine ziemliche Weile lang auf der Höhe der Zeit...

Gruß,
Harald
