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:
Tired of hex clamp collars that cost an arm and a leg? Tired of stripping out the set screw on your clamp collar? Need to add a collar in an assembly and don't want to remove everything from your hex shaft?
Me too! I've ran into all of the above scenarios multiple times building multiple robots. These collars are the holy grail -
General Dimensions:
This is a Heavy Duty Hex Bearing which outperforms our previous 1/2" Hex Bearings as it has a Heavy Duty Inner Race. This FR8ZZ-HexHD bearing, 1/2" hex bore, flanged, heavy duty inner race, shielded ball bearing, has an inner race that is thicker and stronger than our recent offering of a similar bearing (am-0279). This bearing has more material between the corners of the hex bore and the edge of the race making it stronger and much less likely to crack under high load. This bearing is guaranteed to have a stronger, thicker race. 100% of these bearings have been quality checked for a smooth fit over 1/2" hex stock here at AndyMark. Many of our long-time customers will recognize this bearing, as it is the same version we sold back in 2008-2011, and we did not have any failures. Now, it is renamed and quality checked for your high load needs - including drive chassis with cantilevered wheels.

We are pleased to offer these new gussets that are suitable for 1" based building systems. These thoughtfully designed gussets are made from 1/8" thick 6061-T6 aluminum, which is a much stronger material than other 0.09" 5052 gussets. All of these framing gussets feature a 1" linear hole pattern, with holes suitable for either #10 screws or 3/16" rivets.
On all of the angle gussets, a generous radius was used on the inside corner for maximum strength. The various angle gussets, along with the quad and tee gusset are used together to create structures and sub-assemblies for your robot. Our bearing and Sport gussets are perfect building blocks to create a massive variety of mechanisms and assemblies to suit your needs.
This cable can be used in many ways, a power cable for the Gorgon Flex, or from a Speed Controller to a CIM motor. One end connectors are crimped with PowerPole Connectors, two crimps and a black and red housing are shipped with this cable. Tip-to-tip length is approximately 24 inches. Specifications:
These adapters are intended to be a high strength solution to adapt the Falcon Spline to any product that has a 1/2 in hex bore. This product includes the correct size washers to retain items along the hex shaft, as well as a thread-patch 8-32 screw to be used in conjunction with spacers included with the Falcon 500 motor to retain motion hardware.
Whether you have shafts that are too short or shafts of different types, this coupling will solve every component connection issue you've had! Need to combine multiple hex shafts, multiple 1/2-inch keyed shafts, or convert between hex and keyed? This coupling solves all at a better price than anyone else can offer!
Shaft Compatability
This coupling has geometry to capture 0.50-inch hex shafts with an inside hex of 0.51 to 0.52 inches as well as 0.5 inch keyed shafts with a 1/8th inch keyway with a keyway width of 0.128 inches to 0.131 inches.
Peanut Extrusion is an easy to use structure. The profile of the extrusion looks like a peanut and has two holes that are perfect for a 1/4-20 thread-forming screw. The added mid spans are positioned to flank a pair of bolts that self thread into the adjoining peanut extrusion. These spans prevent the peanut from getting crushed by over tightening the bolts. The advantages of Peanut Extrusion are the ease of creating rigid corner joints and the closed profile of the extrusion that prevents dust build up. Whether you are making a table in your shop or a strong frame for a robot, this extrusion is the one for you! Specifications:
The Studica Low Profile U Channel is 3mm thick and has a 48mm x 14mm profile. As with the other Studica Robotics building components, it has the common hole pattern which makes it easy to connect to other structure with very little or no additional machining required. You can easily connect to other channel, extrusions, bushings, bearing, mounting brackets and more so you can quickly assemble and disassemble robots and automated systems.
