1 x 1 Peanut Extrusion, 36" Silver (am-3090-3)

This is a Heavy Duty Hex Bearing which outperforms our previous 1/2" Hex Bearings as it has a Heavy Duty Inner Race. This FR8ZZ-HexHD bearing, 1/2" hex bore, flanged, heavy duty inner race, shielded ball bearing, has an inner race that is thicker and stronger than our recent offering of a similar bearing (am-0279). This bearing has more material between the corners of the hex bore and the edge of the race making it stronger and much less likely to crack under high load.

This bearing is guaranteed to have a stronger, thicker race. 100% of these bearings have been quality checked for a smooth fit over 1/2" hex stock here at AndyMark. Many of our long-time customers will recognize this bearing, as it is the same version we sold back in 2008-2011, and we did not have any failures. Now, it is renamed and quality checked for your high load needs - including drive chassis with cantilevered wheels.

Specifications:

• Inside diameter: 0.500-0.502 inch hex bore
• Outside diameter: 1.125 inch
• Flange thickness: 0.062 inch
• Overall thickness: 0.312 inch
• Weight: 0.05 pound

Churro is a versatile extruded aluminum hex profile. The outside of this part is a 1/2 in. hex with small concave dimples which act as weight savings. There is an inside hole is sized at 0.2 in. in order to fit 1/4-20 thread forming screws. No tapping or threading is needed, as long as a thread forming screw is used. The outside hex size fits a 1/2 in. wrench or socket. 

The 3-foot churro, our most popular length and the best value on shipping, is available anodized in red, blue, purple, gold and black to dress up your robot. Anodized finish is hardy and doesn't flake off or add thickness like paint, but it is possible for a scratch to expose the bare metal beneath. Take basic precautions in your shop like watching for sharp tools or overtightening this churro in a vise.

The AndyMark Climber in a Box is a robust, lightweight, configurable and affordable solution for climbing challenges historically present in FRC end game periods. The design of Climber in a Box has been inspired by many team designs along the way including 254 and 2056. The final prototype for this climber was developed in partnership with FRC Team 3940 CyberTooth for the 2020/2021 Infinite Recharge season. This mechanism has been battle tested with hundreds of climbs on a full weight FRC Robot without failures, both in development and real match play. Available in single and two stage configurations, this product should help teams of all levels elevate their team's performance at competitions.

This product uses a "spring out, winch back" powertrain strategy, using off-the-shelf 3.5lb constant force springs to raise the included Hook Kit, and 3mm Dyneema Rope to retract it with the included Winch Kit. Simply unspool the included rope using a planetary gearbox to raise the hook(s), drive the robot up to the bar, and winch it back to elevate your robot. The AndyMark Climber in a Box does not include a motor or gearbox, but is compatible with many off-the-shelf planetary gearboxes on the market that have a 2" bolt circle mounting pattern and support a 2" long 1/2" hex output shaft, including the highly durable blue Sport Gearboxes.

The bearing kits within this product are designed to go from 2" square 1/16" wall aluminum tubing, down to a 1" square 1/16" wall tube, with a 1.5" square 1/16" wall tube in between for the 2 stage flavor of this product. A combination of durable 608 bearings and custom molded plastic components provide the bearing surfaces for a free-flowing telescoping tube mechanism with no 3D printed parts. Each stage has a maximum travel of 24.5."

The AndyMark Climber in a Box is an unassembled kit of everything you need (besides a gearmotor) that is designed to not require any precision machining in order to make your FRC robot climb. The plates included within the Hook Kit, Bearing Kits and Winch Kit are all designed to be assembled and used as drill guides for match drilling their mounting locations onto the aluminum tubes. Each tube is pre-cut to a 30" length so no cutting of the tubes is required to achieve maximum travel.

This robust 5mm HTD 18mm wide aluminum pulley is a lightweight motion component thoughtfully designed specifically for FIRST Robotics Competition robots. It features a lightweight 2024 aluminum core, made from our 24 Tooth Aluminum Pulley Stock. Unlike other products on the market, this pulley uses super strong steel flanges that are formed onto the pulley body instead of using a traditional press fit or crimps for maximum flange retention and durability. This pulley has small bosses on each side that allow them to be installed against an FR8ZZ Round or FR8ZZ Hex bearing without rubbing on the outer races for smooth operation. 

This version of the pulley supports either two 9mm wide belts or one 15mm wide belt.

This molded adapter is used in the RedLine Encoder Kit (am-3773). The small end of the adapter is placed onto the back-shaft of a RedLine Motor (am-3775) and the large end has a Encoder Magnet (am-3751) pressed into it. Both components inserted into this adapter are a press-fit.

This 12V flexible color-changing LED strip is perfect for robot lighting whether it's for fun or feedback. When used with an RGB controller (sold separately) one can control the color output including solid colors (red, green, blue, etc.) gradient fading, and blinking. This strip is not individually addressable, but it is 12V which means there is no need for a 12V to 5V converter. We recomend PowerPoles for connecting this LED strip to your controller. If you want the LED strip without contacts included, check out am-3496. This strip displays one single color at a time.
