Wheels, Tires, & Rims
Here is a high-traction wheel which includes a grippy rubber tire, an pneumatic inner tube, and a strong plastic hub. These parts are shipped to you in kit form. The unique aspect about this product is the competition-ready hub. The hub accepts any 200x50mm tire and inner tube, 1.125 in. (outside diameter) ball bearings (2 per wheel are needed), and the mounting holes needed to install hardware to be sprocket-driven or hub-driven. This wheel ships as a separate tire, inner tube, and hub halves.
Assembly is required.
Important Notes:
RPM Rating and notes:
These wheels are designed to be propulsion wheels for driving a robot or wheel chair. The design intent is to be contacting the ground, being driven by a gearbox at a maximum speed of approximately 500 rpm (which results in 17 feet/sec).
Within some applications, this wheel has been used as a shooter of objects, spinning at a very high rpm. For these applications, a higher rpm shows that the wheel may wobble, since the valve stem is mounted off to one side of the center of the wheel hub. We have seen properly balanced wheels, using securely mounted hardware (longer screws, washers) that can handle 5,000 rpm. When spinning this wheel at speeds up to 5,000 rpm, please take proper safety precautions.

Wheel Structure:
The hub halves are held together with the #4-40 screws. This wheel can accept #10-32 screws for mounting sprockets or hubs, but these are NOT included since different length screws are needed to mount hubs or sprockets. These #10 screws can be mounted to the included 1.875 inch diameter bolt circle. The hub halves need to be assembled together so that the valve stem clearance holes line up. Locating features are present for easy alignment.

With Sprocket:
If you wish to drive this wheel with a sprocket, then the sprocket needs to be attached to the side of the wheel, and two ball bearings need to be pressed into the wheel (one on each side). The smallest sprocket that will work with these wheels is a S35-24 tooth and a S25-36 tooth sprocket.

With Tread:
This product contains 8 Alligator Clips and 4 Pins, to create your own connections for tread. It will cover the needs for 4 complete Plaction wheels, or 4 connections in general.
We use these Clips to connect the tread on our Plaction wheels. You can use these clips to rebuild your damaged tread, or make your own lengths of tread for any wheels by getting 10' lengths of tread.
Guide(s)
You need to move and this tread is the way to do it. Tread on wheels for drive systems or custom conveyors this gray grippy tread as the perfect amount of grip for moving materials and robots.
This tread is best paired with our four-inch performance wheels for FTC but can be used anywhere you need some grip on your robot!
The Sushi Roller Intake Wheels are an excellent choice for robot intakes, internal conveyors, feeder mechanisms, or anywhere you need a durable, compact and grippy roller. These rollers are made with a robust polycarbonate hex bore hub, so no external hub is necessary - just slide them onto a hex shaft, constrain them axially and you are good to go. Available in a range of durometers for a wide variety of applications, these cute little rollers are great for getting a grip on things!

We are proud to offer AndyMark's latest and greatest 6 in. diameter Mecanum wheel. This wheel's features are a culmination of our hard work in developing the Mecanum wheel since we introduced an affordable wheel to the market in 2006. This version was previously updated in the fall of 2017, and is an improvement on our previous HD (Heavy Duty) version. It has the same heavy duty features, but with an added smoothness while rolling. We minimized the gaps between the rollers, enabling this wheel to be our "smooth rolling" (SR) Mecanum Wheel.
A wheel set is comprised of two left (am-3479La) and two right (am-3479Ra) wheels. Should you need a replacement wheel, a single left or right can also be acquired. These wheels have a weight capacity of 200 pounds per wheel.
Everyone knows, Blue Nitrile Roughtop Tread is the best tread in the competitive robotics marketplace. This tread is the magic behind many top-performing robots. This tread is a ground-breaking 1.5 inches wide to fit wider profile wheels like our 1.5 inch wide XL Performance Wheels. Or, use this on your own custom wheels - now you don't have to custom-cut tread for your custom wheels!
