RODER · DIACHECK-CTFR railway wheel gauges
DIACHECK-CTFR railway wheel gauges

RODER DIACHECK-CTFR gauges measure the diameter of railway wheels directly on the vehicle, with no dismantling, using a three-point contact method and a digital indicator. They attach to the wheel with permanent magnets and give fast, repeatable readings, with 0.1 mm resolution (programmable down to 0.01 mm) and IP42 protection. The series comprises three models – Compact, Standard and Extended – covering different diameter ranges, each also available in a Bluetooth version for measurement traceability. Used in railway workshops and depots for the preventive maintenance of locomotives, carriages and wagons.

How to choose the railway wheel gauge
- Diameter measuring range: Compact 300–950 mm, Standard 320–1000 mm, Extended 910–1400 mm – choose according to the diameters of the wheels to be checked.
- Data transmission: the -BT version adds Bluetooth and the Android/iOS app for recording measurements and ensuring their traceability.
- Common method: three-point contact, digital indicator, magnetic attachment and IP42 protection on all models.
- Calibration: calibrators with nominal diameters from 860 to 940 mm, complete with measurement certificate.

The DIACHECK-CTFR models
Gauges for measuring the diameter of railway wheels
The Compact, Standard and Extended models cover the entire range of railway wheel diameters, from the maintenance of carriages and wagons through to large-diameter wheels. Measuring directly on the vehicle, with no dismantling, shortens inspection times and supports preventive maintenance programs.
All the models use a three-point contact method with a digital indicator and magnetic attachment, ensuring repeatable readings that meet the dimensional tolerances required by railway safety standards. The Bluetooth version allows traceability and integration into digital workflows.
