6" Effect Wheel Rotators for Oil Wheels, Water Effects, Gobos & Projection Effects

Bring your Optikinetics Solar 250 projector to life with our range of 6" Wheel Rotators, available for hire from AVFX in Melbourne. The 6" Wheel Rotator is the heart of the Solar projection system, allowing effect wheels to rotate smoothly and create the flowing movement that made Optikinetics projectors famous throughout theatres, discos, concerts, planetariums and themed attractions worldwide.

The Solar 250 was designed around a huge range of interchangeable 6-inch effect wheels, including liquid oil wheels, water ripple effects, cloud effects, fire wheels, aquarium effects, abstract patterns, colour effects and distortion wheels. To project these effects, a dedicated 6" Wheel Rotator is fitted into the projector's gate system.

Available Wheel Rotator Speeds

Optikinetics produced a variety of rotator speeds to suit different projection styles and applications. Available options include:

• 6 Minute Per Revolution Rotator
• 1/2 RPM Rotator
• 5 RPM Rotator
• 20 RPM Rotator
• Variable Speed & Direction (VSD) Rotator
• Dual Wheel Rotator Systems
• OPTI Max Wheel Rotators

Variable Speed & Direction Control

The VSD (Variable Speed & Direction) Wheel Rotator allows the operator to adjust both rotation speed and direction. Wheels can rotate clockwise or anti-clockwise, from extremely slow movement through to several revolutions per minute, making it ideal for creating everything from subtle ambient effects to fast-moving visual displays.

Compatible Effect Wheels

Our Solar 250 Wheel Rotators can be used with a wide range of Optikinetics effects including:

• Liquid Oil Wheels
• Lava Wheels
• Water Ripple Wheels
• Cloud Wheels
• Fire Wheels
• Aquarium Wheels
• Tropical Fish Wheels
• Abstract Pattern Wheels
• Distortion Wheels
• Spektraflash Colour Wheels
• Logo Projection Wheels
• Custom Effect Wheels

Dual Wheel Projection Effects

One of the unique features of the Solar 250 system is the ability to combine two separate 6" wheels using two wheel rotators simultaneously. A primary effect wheel can be fitted in the rear gate while a distortion, colour-changing or animation wheel is fitted in the front gate.

This allows the creation of complex visual effects such as:

• Moving Water Reflections
• Flickering Flame Effects
• Underwater Distortion
• Swirling Psychedelic Patterns
• Animated Background Textures
• Multi-Layer Visual Effects
• Light-on-Water Simulations
• Sunlight Through Trees Effects

A Projection Industry Standard

Since the 1970s, Optikinetics wheel rotators have been used in theatres, concerts, museums, planetariums, discos and themed attractions worldwide. Their simple and reliable design allows continuous operation while producing smooth, fluid movement that digital projectors often struggle to replicate.

The ability to quickly swap wheels and rotator speeds makes the Solar 250 one of the most flexible effects projection systems ever produced.
