New Products Overview - November & December 2020
Posted by Jason Jaeger on Jan 21st 2021
We worked hard to end 2020 on a high note. During the final months of the year we released some pretty cool products. Let's take a look.
- 12mm Bore Hyper Hub (1310-0016-0012)
Wanting to use a Hyper Hub with our 12mm OD linear ball bearings prompted this part's existence. However, it is also useful for 12mm OD shafting and 12mm OD tubing.
- 5mm Hex Bore Hyper Hub (1310-0016-2005)
For those of you out there wanting to use the awesomeness of goBILDA Hyper Hubs and/or motion components (like our mecanum wheels) with REV 5mm Hex shafting, this hub gives you a direct way to do just that.
- 25 Tooth Servo to 8mm REX Coupler (4001-0025-4008)
Barreling down the 8mm REX track, we decided that a servo coupler was in order. This is an especially good fit with our 2000-0025-0002 Torque Servo.
- 96mm Diameter Gecko™ Wheel (3613-0014-0096)
Adding to our popular Gecko™ Wheel offering, this 96mm option is just as awesome as the original 72mm one, only larger!
- goTUBE Endcap (1519-0014-0400)
This part is simple but very useful. It bolts onto the end of goTUBE to create a 36mm OD flange. This flange contacts the inner race of a 32mm ID bearing to assist in axially constraining goTUBE or goRAIL in your assembly.
- Hitec Linear Servos
These linear servos pack a punch for their compact size. Just send them a PWM signal like you would any servo and you have linear motion with a closed feedback loop at your disposal!
Updates
We place a lot of importance on not resting on our laurels. Our R&D team often finds ways to improve existing parts - almost always maintaining backwards compatibility. Here are some of the updates and running changes that we deployed during Nov and Dec:
- 1206-0032-0006 replaced 1206-0032-0005. It is thicker and uses more goBILDA standard hardware.
- 1310-0016-4008 8mm REX Bore Hyper Hub received the 2mm protrusion update.
- 1205-0001-0002 was updated to make one of the dimensions more on-pattern (will not hurt existing assemblies).
- 1613-0516-0008 the OD is now ever so slightly smaller to make assembly easier when it is surrounded by screws on the 16mm pattern.
- 1308-0016-1006 the OD of the barrel is now slightly smaller to allow for some edge use-cases that require maximum clearance.
- 1310-0016-4012 12mm REX Bore Hyper Hub received the 2mm protrusion update.
- 3203-2806-0001 now has an 8mm length set-screw
- 1312-0016-1006 6mm D-Bore Double Sonic Hub received the 2mm protrusion update
- 1221-0032-0001 received a bearing recess
- 3417-1006-0016 replaced the 3414-1006-0016 - it now has a built-in shim
- We added an XXL option to the shirts in our Merch category
