Measure specifications
All measurements in the product catalogue are given in mm (inch), unless a different unit of measurement is stated.
Technical drawings and operating instructions
We do not accept any liability for the correctness of the technical drawings. Prior to installation, please measure for yourself once more, so you can consider regular manufacturing tolerances.
Please note that the technical data can also vary slightly, depending on the surface color. This is due to the difference in the galvanic coating and the galvanic layering, which depends on the color (nickel, chrome etc).
The technical drawings can be printed on one page width. Should the technical drawings not fit on one page, however, please check your print page setup (note: they can be several pages long).
From time to time, the measurements given in the file downloads on our website may differ from those given in the catalogue. Please bear in mind that the measurements given in the online downloads are current. Any discrepancies will be corrected when the catalogue is updated.
M6 Industrial version
Here you can see our Schaller M6 Machine Head industrial version "J", with a 135 degree bracket or "PIN" for guitar manufacturers. Please contact us directly.
Housings Machine Heads
Two different housings are available for some machine heads: The “J” shape, for external mounting via screws; and “Pin”, for locking on the head plate. The difference can be seen in the following images:

Machine Heads combination
Here are all conceivable combinations of left and right tuning heads and the desired numbers of each which are available to order.
All machine heads and buttons can also be ordered individually. All conceivable combinations are depicted here, irrespective of the type of guitar or bass.
Every other possible combination for 8-string / 12-string instruments etc. is also possible, of course.
For the sake of simplicity, the images show only one machine head of the relevant type, either as a left or right-side model. This means that a right-side machine head model may be depicted for the "6-in-line" combination; in such cases, however, the machine head can of course be ordered both as a left and right-side model.

Shafts for classical machine heads
The use of the different shafts enables the classic machine heads to be adapted to the various instrument head plates. The right shafts are used for metal and gut/synthetic strings.
Classical guitar and mandolin machine heads come with four different types of shaft:
1 = Nylon-shaft (brass with a plastic sleeve)
2 = Emberger shaft
3 = Gibson shaft
4 = Emberger shaft (brass with a plastic sleeve)
Shafts "2", "3" and "4" require the use of thrust bearings.
Shaft type 1 for Lyra and Hauser machine heads varies slightly from shaft type 1 for standard machine heads.
This image shows the different types of shaft and the choice of finishes available (nickel, chrome, gold, nylon shaft in white and black):
All shafts can also generally be supplied in the eight different surface finishes available (see above).
This list shows the options available when selecting a shaft:
