Arduino Starter kit

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.

Specifications:

• Inside diameter: 0.500-0.502 inch hex bore
• Outside diameter: 1.125 inch
• Flange thickness: 0.062 inch
• Overall thickness: 0.312 inch
• Weight: 0.05 pound

Number of Pieces: 584

This kit is made of the components that facilitate smooth linear movement on the Climber in a Box. The Bearing Kits are made to allow a piece of Box Extrusion to telescopically slide in and out of another, a large piece of Box Extrusion. These kits either come with brackets that work with a 1 in. and 1.5 in. box tube, or a 1.5 in. and 2 in. box tube.
