Product Description
The Universal Swivel Caster Wheel is a versatile and robust support solution designed for achieving fluid, omnidirectional movement in robotic projects. Featuring a 360-degree rotating swivel mechanism, this 1-inch caster serves as the perfect "third point of contact" for 2-wheeled robots, preventing the chassis from tipping while allowing for effortless turns and spins. The combination of a high-strength white plastic wheel and a sleek silver metal mounting plate ensures both mechanical reliability and a professional industrial finish. Whether you are building an autonomous vacuum prototype or a balancing STEM robot, this caster provides the stability your project needs.
Detailed Key Features
Omnidirectional Support: The 360-degree swivel allows your robot to navigate complex paths and spin on its own axis without the resistance found in fixed wheels.
Heavy-Duty Top Plate: Constructed from zinc-plated metal, the mounting plate provides a rigid interface that can support weights up to 5 kg.
Standardised Mounting Layout: Includes four 3.7mm holes, making it easy to fasten securely to acrylic, wooden, or 3D-printed chassis using standard M3 bolts.
Low-Friction Operation: The precision swivel bearing and smooth plastic wheel ensure minimal drag, allowing your drive motors to operate efficiently.
Chassis Levelling Profile: Optimised height is designed to match standard 65mm or 70mm BO motor wheels, keeping your robot's sensors perfectly parallel to the ground.
