Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the diameter of the wheel?
The wheel has a diameter of 85mm.
2. What is the width of the wheel?
The wheel is approximately 38mm wide.
3. What material is the wheel made from?
The hub is made from high-strength reinforced Nylon, while the tire is made from rubber with an internal sponge liner.
4. Does the wheel include a coupling?
No. The coupling is not included and must be purchased separately.
5. Which coupling should I use?
The correct coupling depends on your motor shaft size. Compatible options include 6.1mm and 8mm hex brass couplings.
6. Can this wheel be used with 4WD robots?
Yes. It is suitable for 4WD robotic cars and other compatible multi-wheel platforms.
7. Can it be used for 6WD robots?
Yes. The wheel can be used for 6WD robotic platforms when matched with suitable motors and chassis.
8. Is the tire made from rubber?
Yes. The tire uses a black rubber outer layer with an internal sponge liner for additional support.
9. What is the purpose of the sponge liner?
The sponge liner helps support the tire, maintain its shape under load, and provide additional cushioning during movement.
10. Is the wheel suitable for heavy robots?
Yes. Its reinforced Nylon hub, wide profile, and sponge-supported rubber tire make it suitable for medium and larger robotic platforms.
11. Can it be used outdoors?
Yes. It can be used on suitable outdoor surfaces, although actual performance depends on terrain, load, motor torque, and wheel traction.
12. Can I use it with Arduino or ESP32 robots?
Yes. The wheel can be used with Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, and other robotic controllers when paired with suitable motors and motor drivers.
13. Does the package include the motor?
No. The package includes one wheel only.
14. What colour is the wheel?
The supplied version has a Red/Pink rim with a black tire.
15. Is this wheel suitable for search and rescue robots?
