These un-threaded aluminum clamping hubs are ideal for standard applications where you need to securely fasten 1'-diameter shafting or tubing. With a 1' bore, an outer diameter of 1.31', four 6 - 32 through - holes, and one ¼ - 20 x ½' machine screw for tightening, they offer reliable performance. Actobotics is a robotics building system featuring extruded aluminum channels, gears, precision shafts, and ball bearings. Thanks to 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. Dimensions: Bore - 1', OD - 1.31', Hub Pattern - 1.5'.

Using these clamping hubs is easy. First, place the hub around the 1 - inch diameter shafting or tubing you want to secure. Then, use the ¼ - 20 x ½' machine screw to tighten the hub in place. Make sure to align it properly before tightening. When handling these hubs, be careful not to overtighten the screw as it might damage the hub or the shaft. For maintenance, keep the hubs clean and free from dirt and debris. You can use a dry cloth to wipe them down regularly. If you notice any signs of wear, it's a good idea to replace the hub to ensure continued safe and reliable use.
