SONICA Rim

Engraving on the rim

SONICA rim is defined by its contour, diameters and connection type with the underpart.

Model number system

Junction

this number, in the example “1“, represents the diameter of the connection point with the underpart.

The rims must be matched with the underparts with the same connection number: if you screw rims on underparts with different connection number there will be internal edges.

There are 3 types of junctions:

Junction Diameter & Contour Size
1Rims from 00 to 42large-medium
2Rims from 30 to 57medium
3Rims from 50 to 77medium-small

Diameter & Contour

this number, “20” in the example, is the code of the rim that defines the contour and the diameter.

See below for more details.

CountourRim’s codeDescription
0-5 (in red)rim’s code ends with 0 or 5
(00, 05, 10, 15, 20, ….)
Thinner external edge and smooth bite (internal edge)
1-6 (in green)rim’s code ends with 1 or 6
(01, 06, 11, 16, 21, ….)
Slightly thicker external edge and sharper bite compared to contour 0-5
2-7 (in blue)rim’s code ends with 2 or 7
(02, 07, 12, 17, 22, …..)
Thick external edge and sharp bite

Diameters

Within the groups with the same contour, the diameters decrease by 0.1 mm as the rim’s code becomes bigger.

For example, rim 00 and rim 05 have the same contour (contour 0/5 shown in red in the figure) but the rim 05 has diameters A, B and C 0.1 mm smaller compared to the rim 00.

Diameters A, B and C
