Key Features of the 46er:

• HD black powder-coated finish with blacked-out DK Deluxe components

• Wide stroke range, suitable for everything from single needles to large liners and magnums

• Wider springs for increased durability

• Large, easy-to-turn hardened steel stroke wheel with a preset stroke range and center timing mark to prevent excessive misadjustment during experimentation

• Hardened alloy steel impact pin positioned toward the rear of the frame to help reduce noise

• Large cam with an accurate timing mark for easier and more precise impact alignment checks

• Smooth and easy tube vice clamp

• Forward weight distribution for improved ergonomics

• Beautiful brass armature bar, perfectly balanced for a strong, confident, and consistent hit

• O-ring groove in the armature bar for a quieter operating option (although this will reduce performance)

• Reliable Mabuchi motor, chosen because it delivers consistent performance and lasts virtually forever

Technical Specifications:

• Weight: 170 g (brass frame)

• Recommended voltage range: 4 – 6.5 V

• Approximate stroke range: 2 – 4 mm*

• Polarity:

  • Positive up (clockwise motor rotation): Harder hit, ideal for large-group lining.

  • Positive down (counterclockwise motor rotation): Slightly softer hit, ideal for shading and fine lines.

*Please note that the effective stroke increases due to the spring action. The stroke of a Sidewinder cannot be directly compared to that of other rotary machines, as the hit and overall mechanics are completely different.
