Thrifty Bearing Megaplate - QTY 2

These aluminum 5M HTD Pulleys work great for creating belt reductions directly off the motor. Use a 15mm wide belt or two 9mm wide belts as the inside pulley teeth are 18.5mm wide. Choose either 8mm keyed bore or spline bore depending on the motor type you're using.

Affordable and durable 2 inch squish wheels are now available. These wheels are commonly used by competitive robotics teams to move game pieces throughout their robot.

These wheels ship in packs of 10 for $3 per wheel and feature:

• 30A durometer TPE rubber material for maximum squishability
• .375 inch hex hole, intended to be stretched and used on 1/2 inch hex shafts or other larger OD tubes. Each wheel is 1/2 inch thick.
• Weight: .038 lbs per wheel
• STEP CAD file available

This 5M HTD aluminum pulley 2 pack will allow teams to create larger single belt reductions with a common 1/2" hex interface.

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.
