6mm Robotics Axle Shaft with M3 Threaded Ends

Product Description

The 6mm Robotics Axle Shaft is a durable metal shaft designed for building robot chassis, idler wheels, extended axles, custom gearboxes, and mechanical linkages. Its standard 6mm diameter makes it compatible with common 6mm bearings, wheels, couplings, gears, and motor mounts.

Unlike plain smooth shafts, this axle features M3 threaded holes on both ends, allowing wheels, pulleys, and other components to be secured using screws and washers.

Secure Wheel Mounting

The M3 tapped holes provide a simple and reliable method for retaining wheels and pulleys on the shaft. This helps prevent components from slipping or coming off during vibration, high-speed operation, or rough terrain.

Universal 6mm Fit

With a standard 6mm outer diameter, the shaft can be used with compatible bearings, couplings, gears, and mounting components. It is suitable for both powered and unpowered wheel arrangements.
