Description

Depending on your robot design, you may need a ball caster to create balance in your robot. Our 12mm Ball caster is a small idle wheel which its main purpose is to provide more stability for your robot by creating more contact with the ground without interfering with 360 movement of robot. Unlike drive wheels which are powered by motors, this ball caster wheel rotate independently as the robot begins to move. As the name suggest, it contains a steel ball with 12mm diameter and a housing which is there to secure the ball and enable flexible movement. The housing is also made out of metal which can be produced by steel or brass. At the end of the housing, there is a screw which is used to attach the wheel to the robot chassis.

Being made of metal, make this wheel a strong and robust idle wheel for withstanding high amount of weights. the friction in this metal ball caster is less than the plastic ones. therefore, the rolling can easily take place.

Applications:

based on your intended applications and your drivetrains, you can mount the wheel to the back or front of your robot.

  • small robots
  • two wheeled robots
