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.

This is an adapter to convert the female spline output of the Bosch Seat Motor (am-3493) to a 2 inch long 0.5 inch hex shaft. The square end interfaces with the female spline of the motor and is retained by an included 6-32 screw and washer. Our testing shows that in a back-drive situation the worm gear in the gearbox will fail before the motor spline or this adapter. 

Specifications: 

• Overall Length: 3.014 in.
• Hex Length: 2.0 in.
• Hex Width: 0.5 in.
• Square Width: 0.23 in.
• Weight: 0.126 Pounds
• Material: 4140 Steel

Included Hardware:

• 1 - 6-32 x 0.5 in. Hex Head Machine Screw - (Sold in a Bulk Qty as am-1436)
• 1 - #6 x 0.375" OD Flat Washer

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.

This lightweight aluminum adapter allows conversion of 0.375 inch hex shafts into 0.500 inch hex shafts or 0.500 inch hex holes into 0.375 inch hex holes. This component is not recommended for extremely high torque applications.

Specifications:

• Material: 6061 Aluminum
• OD: 0.499 in. Hex
• ID: 0.376 in. Hex
• Length: 0.50 in.
• Weight: 0.004 Pounds

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.

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.

Specifications

• Hole Pattern: Plates feature 0.20 in. Holes on a 1 in. Center to Center Spacing
• Material: 6061-T6 Aluminum
• Thickness: 0.125 in

Peanut Extrusion is the 1"x1" installment of our easy-to-use structure system. The profile of this extrusion looks like a peanut, and has two holes sized for 1/4-20 thread-forming screws. The added mid-spans are positioned to flank a pair of bolts that self thread into an adjoining piece pf Peanut Extrusion. These spans prevent the extrusion from getting crushed by over-tightening. Enjoy the ease of creating rigid corner joints without gussets, with a closed profile that prevents dust and debris 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!

Walnut Extrusion is the 2"x1" iteration of the Peanut profile.

Specifications

• Height: 1.0 in.
• Hole Size: Sized for 1/4-20 Thread-Forming Screw
• Length: Selectable Above (+/- 1")
• Material: 6063-T6 Aluminum
• Wall Thickness: 0.050 in.
• Weight Per Foot: 0.325 Pounds
• Width: 1.0 in.
