SDS MK4i Swerve Modules (Assembled, L2 6.75:1, No Motor, Kraken Pinion, CANCoder, Billet Wheel)

Other Highlights of the MK4i module include:

• On-axis steering encoder (zero backlash, module can be disassembled/reassembled without resetting encoder offset)
• All plates made out of 7075-T6 aluminum
• All steel gears
• All moving parts are protected under top plate
• Includes secondary plate to box in frame
• 10-32 mounting holes on main plate for other robot subsystems
• Encoder guard to protect the steering encoder
• Same frame-to-floor height as previous Swerve Drive Specialties modules
• Same L1 - L3 drive ratios as the MK4 module
• No 3D printed parts
• Cable-tie “nubs” keeps cable-ties in place
• Bottom and top mounted chassis options
• Includes wheel tread cut-to-length, drilled, and pre-installed on wheel
• Includes all hardware, including hardware to mount module to robot
  • As of July 2023 mounting hardware is #10-32, this change is reflected by an "a" in the part number.
  • As of December 2023 Modules use all "V3" components The part numbers for these modules end in a "b". See assembly guide for details

The MK4i module has many parts in common with the MK4 module. Kits to convert the MK4 to MK4i are available.

NEO V1.1, Neo Vortex, Falcon 500, and Kraken X60 motors are compatible with the MK4 module. CIM motors are not compatible with the MK4 due to their larger diameter. The MK4 module is available with the appropriate pinion kit for any of the above motors.

The full steering ratio of the MK4i is 150/7:1, passing through one gear pair, then a pulley pair using a 64 tooth belt.

The MK4i is available in 3 different drive gear ratios. The table below shows the drive gear ratios and free speeds with NEO V1.1 and Falcon 500 motors. L1 and L2 ratios are the most popular ratios and are suitable for standard full weight competition robots. The L3 ratio is more aggressive and is recommended for light weight robots.
