This Scheppach upper band wheel is a complete replacement part designed in particular for the Scheppach HBS261 and HBS250 band saws.

With Scheppach reference 5901505010, this assembly is designed to replace the original upper wheel when it is worn, damaged or when its tyre or bearing has deteriorated and requires replacement.

The wheel is supplied complete with bearing and tyre, allowing the entire assembly to be replaced without having to reuse these components from the old wheel.

What is the purpose of the upper wheel on a band saw?

The upper wheel is an essential component in the operation of a band saw. Together with the lower wheel, it guides the band saw blade and ensures its continuous movement during cutting.

The upper wheel is also involved in blade tensioning and tracking, helping to keep the blade correctly positioned on the wheels.

Its condition is therefore important for smooth blade movement and correct positioning during use of the machine.

Upper wheel with tyre for correct blade guidance

This Scheppach wheel is supplied with its tyre. Located around the circumference of the wheel, this component provides the contact surface on which the band saw blade runs.

Over time and with regular use, the tyre may become worn, marked, damaged or deformed. Significant deterioration can affect the positioning and tracking of the blade on the wheel.

As reference 5901505010 is supplied as a complete upper wheel with tyre, it provides a practical replacement solution when several components of the original wheel are worn or when the complete assembly needs to be replaced.

Upper band wheel supplied with bearing

The wheel is also supplied with its 6001 Z bearing. The bearing allows the wheel to rotate around its shaft and should operate smoothly without excessive play or tight spots.

A worn bearing may cause unusual noise, excessive play or irregular wheel rotation. If the wheel, tyre or bearing shows significant wear, replacing the complete assembly can help restore correct operation of the band saw.
