The stacking wheel has one or a plurality of first and second stacking-wheel disks which are disposed on an axle in a mutually concentric relationship and spaced apart in the axial direction. Distributed over their circumference, the stacking-wheel disks respectively have a plurality of sheet slots for receiving a sheet and are disposed in a mutually staggered relationship in a portion of the sheet slots. An azimuthal profile offset of the stacking-wheel disks has the effect that the sheet slots of the first stacking-wheel disk run ahead of or run behind the sheet slots of the second stacking-wheel disk. The sheet slots of the first and second stacking-wheel disks have at their radially inside end an azimuthal profile offset that is reduced or eliminated again up to the slot end of the sheet slots. This avoids damage to the stacked sheets.
A stacking wheel for stacking sheets which has at least one first stacking-wheel disk and at least one second stacking-wheel disk which are disposed on an axle in a mutually concentric relationship and which are spaced apart in the axial direction and which respectively have distributed over their circumference a plurality of sheet slots for receiving a sheet which extend from radially outward to radially inward in a spiral shape within the respective stacking-wheel disk, wherein the sheet slots of the first and second stacking-wheel disks are disposed in a mutually staggered relationship in a portion of the sheet slots, wherein the sheet slots of the first and second stacking-wheel disks are disposed relative to each other such that an azimuthal profile offset that the sheet slots of the first and second stacking-wheel disks have relative to each other in the staggered portion is reduced or eliminated up to a slot end of the sheet slots, viewed along the sheet slots from radially outward to radially inward.
