50T 20DP 0.5" Hex Bore, Steel Gear

Compliant wheels are not intended for moving robots, but moving objects. Compliant wheels give way to allow rigid objects to be manipulated easily. A line of multiple wheels on a driven hex axle creates a very effective roller that ignores variations in the objects being driven. This makes for high-performance intakes and internal conveyors.

Different durometer ratings give each wheel unique characteristics. Green wheels (35A durometer) are the softest and most compliant around objects, while orange (40A), maroon (45A), blue (50A), and black (60A) wheels are increasingly firm. The increased firmness also allows the latter wheels to carry a higher RPM rating. Check out the downloads tab for a chart showing wheels and their maximum RPM. 

Please note maroon wheels are only intended for use in FTC. If more powerful motors are used to drive it the spokes may fail.

Do you have a hard time finding some strong hex stock aluminum? We have it! This is 7075 series aluminum, which is great for use in transmission shafts.

Specifications:

• Material: 7075 Aluminum
• Width: 1/2" hex (0.496-0.499 inches)
• Weight: 0.27 pounds/ft
• Length: You specify, 1 foot, 3 feet or 6 foot in length, +/- 1"

Sourcing the right stock for the right job can be hard sometimes. No longer is that true for 1/2 inch hex spacer stock! Offered in precisely machined 1.2 inch sections as well as one three and six foot lengths (plus or minus 0.125".) This rigid stock can be cut and used in any assembly you can think of. Gearbox design? Yup. Drive train design? Yep. Manipulator design? Yep! Why stop a spacers, you can even use it to couple 2 shafts together and transfer crazy amounts of torque or cover it in grippy material and use it as a game piece roller.
