These ½ - inch bore hub spacers are a great addition to your Actobotics setup. They let you space your sprocket, gear, wheel, or other attachments from the mating hub. The spacers use the common 0.77 - inch hole pattern in Actobotics and are 1 - inch thick. Actobotics is a robotics building system featuring 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. Documents available include SketchUp Part and Product Page (545386).
Using these hub spacers is easy. First, make sure the mating hub and the attachment (like a sprocket or gear) are clean. Then, simply place the spacer between the hub and the attachment. Ensure that the 0.77 - inch hole pattern aligns properly. When it comes to maintenance, keep the spacers clean from dirt and debris. You can use a dry cloth to wipe them down regularly. If they get wet, dry them immediately to prevent rust. Also, store them in a dry place when not in use. Be careful not to drop or subject them to strong impacts as this could damage the spacer and affect its performance.
