Fitting wheels to hubs

Will the Pololu Universal Aluminum 6mm Mounting Hubs (4-40) fit the DFRobot 80mm Rubber Wheel

Hello @oysterman,

Welcome to RobotShop community.

The DFRobot 80mm rubber wheel is mounted directly to the shafts and without a hub.

The compatible shafts type is double flat shafts
Axle pore size: 5.8mm(diameter) x 3.5mm (thickness)

Let us know if you have any further questions.

Sincerely,

Dear Ebram - I am using a motor with a 5.9mm diameter shaft without flats. So I think that I need a hub to attach the wheel to the motor shaft. What do you advise?

Hello @oysterman,

Thank you for your reply.

Indeed, you would need a hub with this motor but this wheel isn’t compatible with hubs.

It’s designed to be connected directly to motors with the double flat shafts such as this one:

You may consider a different type of wheels for your project.

Let us know if you have any further questions.

Sincerely,

Dear Ebram - many thanks for your prompt and helpful reply.

You are welcome, best of luck with your project.
