Off-Road Wheels – 130 x 60 mm (Pair)

Wiring Connections

• Mechanical Assembly Only: Since these are wheels, there are no electrical wiring connections involved. The wheels are mechanically connected to the motor shaft or axle using screws or nuts.

Power

• No Power Required: These wheels do not require power to operate. They are driven by the motor or axle they are attached to, with power coming from the vehicle or robot’s motor system.

Input and Output

• Input:
  • Mechanical Input: The wheels receive mechanical input from the motor or axle, which drives them to rotate.
• Output:
  • Movement: The wheels convert the motor’s rotational energy into forward or backward movement, enabling the vehicle or robot to navigate over various terrains.

Physical Characteristics

• Size: With a diameter of 130 mm and a width of 60 mm, these wheels are relatively large, providing a stable base for off-road vehicles or robots.
• Weight: Each wheel weighs around 200-300 grams, contributing to the overall stability and durability of the vehicle or robot.
• Material: The wheels are made from high-density rubber, which offers flexibility, durability, and excellent grip. The hubs are typically made from reinforced plastic or metal, depending on the design.
• Color: The wheels are usually black, with a matte or slightly glossy finish that resists dirt and scratches.

Technical Specifications

• Tread Depth: The deep tread is designed to dig into loose surfaces, ensuring the vehicle or robot maintains traction even on challenging terrains.
• Hub Compatibility: The hub is designed to fit various shaft diameters, typically around 4 mm, making it easy to mount on different motor setups.
• Temperature Range: The wheels are designed to perform in a wide range of temperatures, from cold to hot environments, without losing flexibility or grip.
• Load Capacity: These wheels are capable of supporting a substantial load, depending on the application, due to their robust construction.

Additional Features

• Easy Installation: The wheels are designed for easy attachment to motors or axles using standard mounting hardware, such as screws or nuts.
• Multiple Uses: While primarily designed for off-road applications, these wheels can also be used on flat surfaces where extra traction is needed.
• Customizable: The wheels can be modified or adapted to fit specific needs, such as by adding different hubs or adjusting the tread pattern.
• Long-Lasting Performance: Due to their durable materials and construction, these wheels offer long-lasting performance even under harsh conditions.

How to Use

• Step 1: Mount the Wheels.
  • Attach the wheels to the motor shaft or axle using the provided mounting holes. Ensure that the screws or nuts are securely fastened to prevent the wheels from loosening during operation.
• Step 2: Check Alignment.
  • Ensure that the wheels are properly aligned with the vehicle or robot’s chassis to avoid uneven wear or strain on the motor. Proper alignment also ensures smooth movement.
• Step 3: Test on Terrain.
  • Test the wheels on the intended terrain (e.g., dirt, gravel, sand) to ensure they provide the necessary traction and stability. Adjust the vehicle’s or robot’s speed and power settings if needed to optimize performance.
• Step 4: Regular Maintenance.
  • Periodically check the wheels for signs of wear or damage, especially after extended use on rough terrain. Replace the wheels if the tread is worn down or if the rubber shows signs of cracking.
• Step 5: Store Properly.
  • When not in use, store the wheels in a cool, dry place to prevent the rubber from degrading. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.

The Off-Road Wheels – 130 x 60 mm (Pair) are an essential component for any off-road vehicle or robotic platform that needs to navigate challenging terrains. Their durable construction, deep tread design, and easy compatibility make them a reliable choice for a wide range of outdoor applications. Whether you’re building a mobile robot or an all-terrain vehicle, these wheels provide the traction and stability needed for successful operation in tough environments.
