This bushing fits into any 8mm hole such as those seen on tubing in the S3 Ecosystem. The bushing supports a 6mm shaft allowing you to use our precision 6mm D Shafts with the S3 Ecosystem and other systems.
Surgical tubing is a great all purpose robot product! It can be used in applications as varied as wrapping it around a spinning pipe to help grip objects, to counterbalancing an arm with it's spring force, or to coupling an encoder to a misaligned shaft. The possibilities are endless!
This Surgical Tubing is most often used in robotics to create custom rollers, such as the AndyMark Tube Roller. This stretchy rubber latex tubing has so many more uses though! This black wonder material is a must-have for griping game elements when paired with our Aluminum Hex Spacer Stock.
Choose between 3 feet and 10 feet lengths.
To install this grippy tubing on Hex Spacer Extrusion use hand sanitizer or soapy water to lubricate the aluminum, then slide the tubing over and wait for the lubricant to evaporate. You can then power the assembly with a 1/2" hex shaft to intake game pieces or move them around inside your robot.
