45mm BO Motor Wheel – High-Traction Rubber Tyre with Reinforced Rim for DIY Robotics, STEM Projects, and Smart Car Chassis

Product Description

The 45mm BO Motor Wheel is a robust and compact movement solution designed to perfectly integrate with standard "Battery Operated" (BO) series gear motors. This wheel features an upgraded tyre tread pattern that provides significantly greater friction on various surfaces, making it ideal for precision-based projects like line followers and miniature robotic cars. At Robogears, we have selected this new design for its superior mechanical bond with the motor shaft, ensuring that your robot maintains consistent acceleration without wheel-slip. Whether you are a student working on a science project or a hobbyist building a custom chassis, these wheels offer a professional-grade balance of durability and traction.

Detailed Key Features

• Upgraded Traction Tread: Features a specialised rubber tyre pattern designed to increase grip on smooth surfaces, preventing "spin-out" during motor startup.

• Reinforced Rim Design: The inner wheel is moulded from high-strength plastic, providing a rigid foundation that resists warping under the weight of a robotic chassis.

• Seamless Motor Integration: Engineered with a 6mm bore that push-fits securely onto the standard double-D shafts of yellow plastic gear motors.

• Compact Manoeuvrability: The 45mm diameter is specifically chosen to provide a low centre of gravity, enhancing the stability of your robot during sharp turns.

• Vibration Damping: The soft rubber tyre material helps absorb minor surface irregularities, protecting sensitive onboard sensors from excessive mechanical noise.

All Technical Details

• Material Composition: Hybrid construction utilising a lightweight plastic core and a detachable high-friction rubber tyre.

• Shaft Compatibility: Designed for standard 6mm hobby motor shafts (Double-D profile).

• Weight Efficiency: Optimized for a low rotational mass, allowing for faster response times from small DC gear motors.

• Industrial Finish: Sleek design and durable materials ensure the wheel remains functional even after prolonged use in workshop environments.
