Get your robot rolling smoothly with this high - quality steel ball caster. Its size is just right, not too large or small, and it offers an incredibly fluid motion. Attaching it is a breeze, thanks to the two screw mounts that let you fix it to any chassis material. Remember, it doesn't come with mounting hardware, so use 4 - 40 or M3 screws as you need. This caster matches well with our purple metal chassis and is perfect for any application where a 16mm height is required. If you have bigger bots, we also offer a larger ball caster with a 20mm height. Technical details: Wheel diameter is 12mm, overall height is 16mm, fixed hole diameter below the bearing wheel is 4mm, mounting hole diameter is 4mm, mounting hole distance is about 10.5mm, and the overall weight is 8g.
Using this caster is easy. First, pick the right 4 - 40 or M3 screws since the caster doesn't come with mounting hardware. Then, use the two screw mounts to attach it to your desired chassis material. You can use it with our purple metal chassis or any other application needing 16mm of height. When handling the caster, be gentle to avoid any damage. For maintenance, keep it clean from dirt and debris. You can wipe it down with a dry cloth regularly. If you notice any unusual noise or reduced smoothness, check the screws to make sure they're tightened properly. For bigger bots, consider our 20mm height caster instead.
