• Sprocket & Chain Kit• The six different sprocket

sizes allow for a variety of ratios. Great for any application where you need to transfer power across long distances.

• Transfers power effectively over long distances.

• Designed to carry moderate loads.

• Every section of chain is a master link.

• (14) Sprockets in (5) Sizes.

VEX Parts - Motion

• Tank Tread Kit• Use this tank tread to build

robot tracks which can overcome tough terrain, or build a conveyor belt for scooping up objects.

• Climb over obstacles and traverse tough terrain.

• Drive through sandy or soft spongy surfaces.

• Can be used for a robot conveyor belt.

• Every section is a master link, create treads of any length.

VEX Parts - Motion• 2.75" Omni Directional

Wheel - Double Roller (2-pack)

• Omni-Directional wheels roll forward like normal wheels, but slide sideways with almost no friction (no skidding during turns). Use these wheels to make your robot turn smoothly or build a holonomic drivetrain.

• 2.75" diameter• 14 rollers per wheel

VEX Parts - Motion

• 4" Omni-Directional Wheel (2-pack)

• Omni-Directional wheels roll forward like normal, but slide sideways with almost no friction. Use these wheels to make your robot turn smoothly.

• 4" Omni Wheels roll sideways with very little friction.

• Minimize skidding during turns.

• Build a holonomic drive.

VEX Parts - Motion

• 2.75" Wheel (4-pack)• A pack of (4) of the

VEX 2.75" diameter Wheels. These wheels include a smooth grippy tire which has high traction on smooth surfaces.

• High Traction rounded tread.

• Removing the tread make a low-friction wheel.

VEX Parts - Motion

• 4" Wheel (4-pack)• A pack of (4) of the

VEX 4" diameter wheels. These wheels include a tire which works well on any surface.

• High Traction square tread.

• Removing the tread leaves a ribbed plastic wheel.

VEX Parts - Motion

• 5" Wheel (4-pack)• A pack of (4) of the

VEX 5" diameter Wheels. These wheels include a knobby tire which works great on rough terrain or loose surfaces.

• High Traction rough knobby tread.

• Removing the tread leaves a ribbed plastic wheel.

VEX Parts - Motion

• Mecanum Wheel 4" (4-pack) • Mecanum wheels allow savvy

robot designers to create drivetrains capable of moving in any direction using a standard chassis shape. Simply power each wheel with a different motor and by changing the directions the wheels spin get your robot to move in different directions!

• Allows robots to move in any direction.

• Split Roller style design.• 14 rollers per wheel.

VEX Parts - Motion

• Shaft Coupler (5-pack)• Shaft couplers are the

same length as old VEX clutches, allowing 2-Wire Motors to be used in places that previously had a clutch without changing shaft length.

• Makes replacing 3-Wire Motors quick and simple.

• Placement between motor and drive shaft makes changing shafts easier.

VEX Parts - Motion

Clutch (3-pack) For use with a

VEX Continuous Rotation Motor or VEX Servo.

(3) Clutches (3) Short Axles

for Clutches

VEX Parts - Motion

• Drive Shafts (2-choices)• The square shaft has

rounded corners which allow it to spin easily in a round hole, while locking to a square hole.

• Three length: 2", 3", and 12".

• Use the 12" to make your own custom length shafts.

• Works with motors, wheels, gears, and bearings.

VEX Parts - Motion

• Pillow Block Bearing & Lock Bar Pack

• Bearing Blocks mount on a piece of structure and supports a shaft which is offset either above, below, or to the side of the structure. Lock Bars allow any VEX component to be “locked” to a shaft so that it will spin with the shaft.

• Bearing blocks mount on a piece of structure to support a shaft.

• Lock Bars allow VEX components to be "locked" to a shaft.

VEX Parts - Motion

• Bearing Flat, Delrin (10-pack)

• The Bearing Flat mounts directly on a piece of VEX structure and supports a shaft which runs perpendicular and directly through the structure.

• Low friction allows shafts to turn smoothly.

• Mount with Screws & Nuts or Pop Rivets

VEX Parts - Motion

• Shaft Collar (16-pack)• Collars lock to drive

shafts, keeping wheels and gears from sliding along the shaft. Collars fit around Drive Shafts and can be fastened in place using a setscrew.

• Designed specifically for the VEX Drive Shaft.

• Set screw uses the same Allen Wrench as the 6-32 Motor Screws.

VEX Parts - Motion

• Washers (2-choices)• A washer is a thin disk

with a hole used to distribute the load of a threaded fastener. All VEX washers fit on all VEX screws and VEX shafts.

• Steel washers are a good all-purpose washer.

• Teflon washers are low friction. Use on shafts where metal rubs on metal.

VEX Parts - Motion
