Product Description:

The 0125926-010 mechanical counter is produced by Danaher within the Timers and Controllers series. It is a base-mounted, six-digit device that advances once each time the left-hand shaft is driven, allowing automated machinery to record cycle totals without electronics. The unit serves in punch presses, index tables, and other equipment where a direct mechanical stroke tally supports maintenance planning and production monitoring. Its compact frame fits alongside cams or clutches, and the counter can be read at a glance without auxiliary displays or power supplies.

Every shaft impulse produces 1 count per actuation, so the total shown matches the exact number of mechanical cycles. Each numeral has a height of 0.188 in, providing legibility while keeping the overall size minimal. The movement can track processes running at up to 1000 cpm; beyond this rate, the internal gearing may miss strokes. Drive energy requirements are low because the register advances against a maximum load of only 2 oz-in on the input shaft, which reduces wear on the driving cam or linkage. With a mass of 9 oz (255 g), the counter imposes modest inertial forces, making it suitable for light brackets or small fixture plates.

A spring-loaded ratchet drive converts counterclockwise shaft rotation into stepwise gear motion, preventing reverse counts during forward-and-back oscillations. The housing is cast from Zamak, a zinc alloy that resists corrosion and supports precise gear alignment. When totals must be cleared, the front-panel manual knob resets all wheels to zero without tools. Internally, the register wheels run on chrome-plated steel shafts, and brass gears mesh with minimal friction to maintain accuracy at the rated torque and speed. The left-side shaft placement simplifies coupling within a standard machine layout, while the base mounting holes provide a rigid attachment surface.
