Channel sliders are perfect for achieving accurate linear motion with Actobotics channels. The D type sliders cover one side and the open top of the channel, leaving the opposite side and underside hub patterns free for extra attachments. Each slider has 6 through - holes for multiple connection points. Actobotics is a robotics building system using extruded aluminum channels, gears, precision shafts, and ball bearings. With two standardized hole patterns, most Actobotics components can be easily connected. This wide - range component system makes it possible to build complex electromechanical prototypes or finished projects. Documents available include SketchUp Part, Product Page (585556), and a Demo Video.
Using these D - type channel sliders is easy. First, pick the Actobotics channel you want to use. Slide the sliders onto the channel, making sure they fit well. The open side and underside hub patterns can be used to attach other parts. Use the 6 through - holes on each slider to connect them to other components. When handling the sliders, be careful not to scratch them. Avoid using excessive force when attaching or detaching parts. To maintain the sliders, keep them clean. You can use a dry cloth to wipe off any dust. If there's dirt, a mild cleaning solution can be used. Store the sliders in a dry place to prevent rusting.
