A staple in any robotics team's shop - the 1/2" rounded hex shaft. This shaft allows you to drive hubs, pulleys and other 1/2" hex broached items while also fitting into a 13.75mm ID bearing with ease. This shaft comes in lengths of 36 inches so you can cut them down to the size you need.
Available in both 7075 (anodized black) or 6061 (not anodized) variants.
Includes a hole sized for #10 taps.
This item can only be purchased in multiples of 25
Specifications:
This is a quick and reliable compact connector for flexible conductors. Splicing has never been easier. Lift the orange lever, and insert the conductor, close the lever. The lever clicks as it is lowered, actuating the CAGE CLAMP®, for superior connectivity. This tool-free connection and disconnection makes the connection simple to create and alter in the future.
Whether you are building an elite custom drivetrain or a championship manipulator, you need your components to stay where they're supposed to. These lightweight spacers come in 3/8", 1/2", and 5 mm hex bores to accommodate the most common shaft types They can also be used on round shafts and bolts (5mm is great for #10 hardware!). If you need to space a lot grab some 1" spacers. If you need ultimate precision pick up some 0.063" spacers. Not sure which spacers you need? Keep a handful of all six sizes in your shop and never go hungry for spacers again!
These spacers are molded in black polycarbonate, a tough, crack resistant material that FIRST teams are familiar with. These spacers should resist stress cracking. If polycarbonate isn't rugged enough for your high load application or you need custom length spacers, check out our Aluminum Hex Spacer Extrusion.
Compliant Stars are the perfect thing for intake mechanisms. The soft material gives way to allow rigid objects to be manipulated easily. A line of multiple stars on a driven hex shaft creates a very effective roller that ignores variations in the objects being driven. The multiple-spoke design allows the star to act as a brush, creating more surface area to interact with and grab objects. This makes for high-performance intakes and internal conveyors. A shaft collar may be used to make absolutely sure the wheels stay clear of other mechanisms or maintain consistent spacing. Molded into the star are several guidelines. Cut the star at the lines (or elsewhere) to create more compact mechanisms.
Different durometer ratings give each Compliant Star unique characteristics. Green stars (35A durometer) are the softest and most compliant around objects, while orange (40A), maroon (45A), and blue (50A) wheels are increasingly firm. Black (60A) is quite firm, while the Gray (80A) is nearly rigid. The increased firmness also allows the latter wheels to carry a higher RPM rating
The Grasshopper nut, produced with the help of James Cole-Henry from FRC team 95, The Grasshoppers, is an innovative battery solution to increase the reliability of battery terminal connections.
This new custom designed collar clamp has been designed specifically with FIRST Robotics Competition teams in mind. This product is Out of Stock until Mid March
