Energy Chain (Mounting Brackets)

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.

Churro has proven itself over years of robot market use as a lightweight and versatile extruded aluminum hex profile, great for standoffs, supports, and low load shafts. Churro Lite offers the same great features of Churro now in a 3/8 in. profile. The outside of this extrusion is between 0.368 in. and 0.374 in. hex (with small weight-saving grooves) to fit inside all our 3/8 hex bore products. The center hole is sized to fit a 10-24 thread forming screw. No tapping or threading is needed, as long as a thread forming screw is used. 

Specifications:

• Material: 6061-T6 Aluminum
• Inside Diameter: 0.163 in. - 0.170 in.
• Outside Width: 0.368 in. - 0.374 in.
• Length: Selectable Above
• Weight: 0.09 Pounds per Foot

This chain is designed to hold wires in check while attached to a moving object. They are particularly useful for controlling a manipulator on the end of an arm or elevator. 

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.

Specifications:

• Material: 6005A Aluminum
• Inside diameter: 0.231 in.
• Outside width: 0.495 in. Hex, across flats
• Length: Selectable Above
• Weight: 0.16 lbs/ft

Be sure all your threaded pneumatic connections are sealed properly with this teflon tape. Standard grade PTFE tape used in all your robot pneumatics.

Specifications:

• Width: 1/2"
• Length: 520"

The 57 Sport is a competition tested high performance line of planetary gearboxes from AndyMark and BaneBots. The 57 Sport features numerous improvements over previous planetary gearboxes used on FIRST Robotics Competition robots. 

This updated version of the AndyMark 775 RedLine Motor is an even faster and more powerful version of this popular 775-class motor platform. With a power rating of up to 363W, this motor is capable of delivering even more immense power in the same small lightweight package over the previous version. This ball-bearing supported, air cooled motor is best used in high-speed applications where the motor will not be stalled for long periods such as shooters, conveyors, and intake mechanisms. With sufficient care and attention to your application's traction limit, this motor can be effective in FRC drive applications as well.

This variation of the RedLine comes with a 16 tooth, 0.7 Module pinion and mounting screws (am-3768) already installed allowing this motor to be installed into either a 57 Sport or a Dual 775 Sport gearbox. Not only does this take the risk of damaging the motor during pinion installation out of your hands, it also means that this counts as a COTS part in FRC.

Every millimeter counts in electrical installations: Building technology requires more and more functions integrated into ever smaller spaces. This connector accommodate fine-stranded wires from 0.14 to 4 mm2 (24–12 AWG), as well as solid and stranded wires from 0.2 to 4 mm2 (24–12 AWG). This wide range allows you to connect different types of wires and enables bridging of wires with greatly differing cross sections.

Specifications:

• Wire Sizes: 24 - 12 AWG
• Max Current: 32A @ 450V
• Number of Connection Points: 5
• CAGE CLAMP® Technology

Features:

• Transparent housing for visual inspection shows that the wire is inserted properly and stripped to the correct length
• Any combination of wire types and sizes from 0.14 to 4 mm² (24–12 AWG) is possible
• Test ports for standard probes
• 11mm/0.43" Stripping Depth
