Detailed Description:
Enhance the mobility and traction of your robotic creations with the versatile Robot Wheel 10x2 for DC Motors (100mm Diameter x 20mm Wide). This widely used robotic wheel is an essential component for building a variety of mobile robots, remote-controlled cars, educational platforms, and DIY automation projects. Its balanced dimensions offer a good combination of ground clearance and stability for your robotic chassis.
This robot wheel features a 100mm (approximately 4-inch) outer diameter and a 20mm (0.8-inch) width, providing a decent contact patch with the ground for improved grip and maneuverability. The wheel typically consists of a durable plastic rim (or hub), often made from ABS plastic, and is surrounded by a soft rubber tire. The rubber tire is crucial for providing excellent traction on various surfaces, preventing slippage and ensuring smooth movement for your robot.
A key specification for this wheel is its central hole designed to fit a 6mm diameter shaft. Many versions include a small screw or set screw to securely fasten the wheel onto the shaft of your DC geared motor (commonly "BO motors" or other 6mm shaft motors). This screw-based mounting mechanism ensures a robust connection, preventing the wheel from slipping during operation. The lightweight nature of these wheels (often around 90-100 grams per wheel) helps to reduce the overall weight of your robot, contributing to better battery life and motor efficiency. Whether you're designing a line-following robot, an obstacle-avoiding vehicle, or a custom mobile platform, the Robot Wheel 10x2 (100mm Dia x 20mm Wide) offers a reliable, durable, and easy-to-mount solution for all your DC motor-powered robotic applications here in Pune, Maharashtra, India.
The 10x2cm Wheel is commonly used in small to medium-sized robotic vehicles, automation bots, and Arduino projects. Built with a high-quality plastic hub and rubberized outer ring, it ensures stable traction, better maneuverability, and low slippage on various indoor/outdoor surfaces.
It features a press-fit mounting hole that fits snugly on most standard BO motor shafts (6mm D-type shaft), making it ideal for line-following robots, obstacle avoiders, and Bluetooth/RC-controlled platforms.
