This custom-designed rubber wheel features a durable rubber tire with a precise diameter of 1.69 inches, or 43 millimeters. It is engineered to seamlessly integrate with both our mini metal gear motors and Solarbotics metal gear motors, offering a flexible solution for various robotic applications. The hub includes strategically placed teeth that can accommodate a reflectance sensor for encoder feedback, enhancing control and measurement capabilities.
Installation is straightforward: gear motors should be attached to the hub's side with protruding teeth. Initially, the output shaft easily slides into the socket, but achieves a firm and secure fit once pushed completely through the hub. This design ensures reliable performance and minimizes slippage during use, providing peace of mind for intricate robotic operations.
While the output shafts of Solarbotics metal gear motors are compatible with these wheels, their shorter length requires mounting on the wheel's opposite side, where the fit is more secure. This accommodation ensures compatibility across different motor configurations, maximizing the versatility of the wheel.
The Micro Metal Gearmotor Bracket Extended complements this wheel perfectly. It's crucial to note that the non-extended version of the mounting bracket may not provide optimal compatibility, thereby highlighting the necessity for using the correct bracket. This careful design consideration ensures that the wheel performs with precision and reliability, adapting to diverse mechanical setups.
