Product Description
McHale CEL00017 Blue Wheel Magnet
The McHale CEL00017 Blue Wheel Magnet is a genuine McHale replacement component designed for use with the wheel speed sensing system on selected McHale balers, Fusion baler wrappers and bale wrappers.
Working together with the machine's proximity or speed sensor, the wheel magnet generates the signal required by the electronic control system to accurately monitor wheel or shaft rotation. This information is used to control and monitor various automatic machine functions throughout the baling and wrapping process.
A damaged, missing or weak wheel magnet can result in inaccurate speed readings, warning messages or interrupted automatic operating cycles. Replacing the magnet with a genuine McHale part helps maintain reliable machine operation and ensures accurate sensor performance.
Manufactured by McHale to original equipment specifications, the CEL00017 Blue Wheel Magnet is designed for long service life in demanding agricultural conditions.
