These flat aluminum clamping hubs are an ideal choice for heavy - duty projects. They securely fasten shafting or tubing with a 1 - inch diameter. The hub features a 1 - inch bore, an outer diameter of 1.967 inches, four ¼ - 20 tapped holes, four ¼ - inch through - holes, and comes with one ¼ - 20 machine screw for tightening. Actobotics is a versatile robotics building system built around extruded aluminum channels, gears, precision shafts, and ball bearings. With two standardized hole patterns, most Actobotics components can be easily connected. This wide range of components makes it possible to build complex electromechanical prototypes or finished projects. Dimensions: Bore - 1 inch, OD - 1.967 inches, Hub Pattern - 1.5 inches.

Using this clamping hub is easy. First, place the shaft or tubing with a 1 - inch diameter into the 1 - inch bore of the hub. Then, use the ¼ - 20 machine screw to tighten the hub around the shaft or tubing, ensuring a secure fit. When handling the hub, be careful not to overtighten the screw as it might damage the hub or the shaft. Also, keep the hub away from excessive moisture to prevent corrosion. For maintenance, regularly check the four ¼ - 20 tapped holes and four ¼ - inch through - holes for any debris. If you find any, clean them gently with a soft brush. This will help keep the hub in good working condition for a long time.
