Adjustable from 25 Seconds to 4 Minutes Per Rotation - Essential for Liquid Wheels & Advanced Projection Effects.

Description

The speed of a liquid wheel matters more than most people expect. A fraction too fast and the oils blur into undifferentiated colour; too slow and the effect stalls before it develops. The OPTIKinetics 6-inch Variable Speed Active Gate Wheel Rotator is the rotator that gives you that control - a speed dial that spans from 25 seconds per rotation at its fastest down to a full 4 minutes per rotation at its slowest, plus a direction toggle that reverses the rotation with a switch. Available at The Sensory Supply across North America, it is the recommended choice for liquid wheel users and anyone who wants fine control over their sensory projection environment.

Like the 1/2 RPM fixed-speed rotator, it slides directly into any Active Gate Solar LED projector without cables and accepts all OPTIKinetics 6-inch magnetic effect wheels. The difference is the range. Where the fixed-speed model holds one steady pace, this rotator lets each wheel find its own best speed.

Key Features of the OPTIKinetics 6" Variable Speed Active Gate Wheel Rotator

  • Active Gate Fitment - No Cables Required - Slides directly into any new OPTIKinetics Solar LED projector using the built-in Active Gate electrical contacts; no connection cables needed on current-generation Solar 100 LED and Solar 250 LED projectors
  • Variable Speed - 25 Seconds to 4 Minutes Per Rotation - A rotary dial sets the rotation speed across a wide range from 25 seconds per full rotation at the fastest end to 4 minutes per rotation at the slowest, giving precise control over the pace and visual quality of any 6-inch effect
  • Variable Direction Control - A toggle switch controls the direction of rotation - clockwise or anticlockwise - allowing the same wheel to produce different visual results depending on which direction the oils or imagery moves
  • Essential for Liquid Wheels - Small adjustments to rotation speed make a significant difference to the projected oil effect; each liquid wheel has its own ideal speed and without variable control the full potential of the wheel may not be achieved
  • Magnetic Wheel Adaptor Fitted as Standard - Compatible with all current OPTIKinetics 6-inch magnetic effect wheels straight out of the box; the magnetic adaptor holds the wheel securely without spindle connections
  • Compatible with Older Bossed Wheels via Included Allen Key - For older-style bossed wheels, the magnetic adaptor can be removed using the included allen key, making this rotator backwards-compatible with the previous generation of OPTIKinetics 6-inch wheels
  • Used with Distortion Wheels for Advanced Effects - The variable speed capability makes this rotator well-suited for use with distortion wheels placed in front of a main effect wheel, creating layered visual effects including simulated water reflection, flickering sunlight through trees, and undulating movement across projected imagery
  • Compatible with Older Solar Projectors via Connection Cable - For older-style Solar projectors with 12V side outlets, the rotator can be used with an optional adapter connection cable (sold separately and not included)
  • Not Compatible with the OPTI Aura Projector - The Aura projector has its own built-in rotator; external rotators of any type cannot be fitted to the Aura
  • Made in the USA - Manufactured to OPTIKinetics' quality standards
  • Manufacturer Warranty - Covered by a 1-year manufacturer warranty; an extended 3-year warranty is available upon product registration on the OPTIKinetics website

Compatibility at a Glance

  • Compatible with: OPTIKinetics Solar 100 LED, Solar 250 LED (Active Gate models, no cable needed); older Solar projectors with 12V side outlets (connection cable required, sold separately)
  • Works with: all OPTIKinetics 6-inch magnetic effect wheels (Liquid, Picture, and effect wheels); older bossed wheels with adaptor removed
  • Not compatible with: OPTI Aura projector; 50mm cassette effects; 50mm Cassette Rotator

Ideal for

  • Occupational therapists and sensory room designers who use liquid wheels and need speed control for optimal effect
  • Schools, clinics, and care facilities building a complete OPTIKinetics 6-inch wheel projection system and wanting the recommended rotator
  • Existing OPTIKinetics users upgrading from the fixed-speed 1/2 RPM rotator to gain speed and direction control
  • Advanced users creating layered projection effects using distortion wheels and variable speed in combination
  • Anyone across North America adding fine-tuned 6-inch wheel effects to a Solar 100 LED or Solar 250 LED projection setup
