Fitting, Y, Brass, 1/8" NPT, 2 F, 1 M

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.

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.

Machine Key, steel. Used in 2.5" CIM Motor shafts. 

Specifications:

• Width: 2mm (0.078 inch)
• Length: 10mm (0.394 inch)
• Weight: 0.0008 pounds

The inside black portion of this wheel is made from molded polycarbonate plastic. The outer tread is TPU (Thermoplastic PolyUrethane). This robust but lightweight wheel provides good traction on carpet and soft tiles. Stealth wheels are the perfect drive wheel for smaller (<50 lb.) robots, or for intakes and other auxiliary robot mechanisms. These wheels are available in a variety of bores and durometers. 4 in. Stealth Wheels feature a 6 bolt pattern on a 1.875 in. bolt circle for mounting sprockets, hubs, and gears. Nub Bore Stealth Wheels feature a 4 bolt pattern on a 16 mm bolt circle found in most FIRST Tech Challenge building systems. The lower the durometer the softer the wheel is, this makes it wear away faster, but also makes it more grippy.

Product Usage:
Many thread locking materials are not compatible with polycarbonate and can eat away at the plastic. Be sure to check which adhesives are okay to use with this product.

Specifications

• Bore: 1/2 in. Hex, 3/8 in. Hex, Nub Bore, 5 mm Hex
• Diameter: 2 in., 4 in.
• Durometer: 35A (Green), ⠀40A (Orange), ⠀50A (Blue), ⠀60A (Black), ⠀80A (Gray)
• Hole Pattern: Qty 4 3.5 mm Holes on a 16 mm Circle for 8 mm bore wheels
• Material: TPU, Polycarbonate
• Weight: 0.23lb, 0.1lb
• Width: 1 in.

This adapter converts an 8 mm keyed shaft to 1/2 in. hex. The keyway is 2 mm wide. This allows you to adapt the output of a motor or gearbox like the CIM Motor (am-0255) to any of our hubs or wheels with a 1/2 in. hex bore. You'll need a 2 mm machine key (am-1121) to complete the assembly and transmit torque from the motor. 

This adapter is no longer available in the 0.75 in. length.

Specifications

• Bore: 8 mm Round
• Keyway Width: 2 mm
• Length: 0.5 in., 1 in.
• Material: Steel
• Weight: 0.03 lbs
• Width: 0.497 - 0.499 in.

This retainer clip is used to hold objects (such as gears) in place on shafts. 

Example: This product can be used to hold a gear onto a CIM motor shaft. 

Specification: 

• Material: Steel
• Inner Diameter: 8mm
• Outer Diameter: 15mm
• Weight: Less than 0.001 lbs

NOTE: This product is not included in any Sales or Discounts.

The Voltage Regulator Module (VRM) is a DC to DC convertor that is capable of both boost and buck voltage regulation. The device features two independent SEPIC (Single Ended Primary-inductor Converter) regulators allowing the input voltage to be above or below the desired output voltage. There are two regulators (one 5V and one 12V) each with two current limiting PTC’s (500mA and 2A). Reverse polarity protection is included.

The VRM has been used in the 2015-2021 FIRST Robotics Competition Kit of Parts.  As of Sept 10, 2020 according to FIRST blog these will continue to remain competition legal in future years.
