Collect in person or request a quote for account orders; our branches provide same-day pickup on many items. See our branch details for trading hours and pickup options: Branch locations & hours.

Practical selection advice

Start by matching wheel diameter, bore size and mounting style to your motor or gearbox. Consider tyre material (rubber for traction, foam for light weight), hub type (press-fit, grub-screw, D-shaft) and load rating. For classroom kits we recommend lightweight plastic wheels with integrated rims; for heavier mobile robots choose reinforced hubs and bearings.

Specification highlights & compatibility

We stock wheels compatible with common hobby motors (3-8 mm bores), gearbox outputs (6, 8 mm splines) and popular platforms like Arduino/ROS prototypes. Use our product filters to compare sizes and materials on the collections page: Shop by category.

Performance math - convert RPM to linear speed

Estimate robot speed using this simple formula where D is wheel diameter in metres and RPM is wheel revolutions per minute:

v (m/s) = pi * D * RPM / 60

Example: 80 mm (0.08 m) wheel at 300 RPM gives v = 3.14*0.08*300/60 = 1.26 m/s.

Accessory bundles & compatibility guidance

We offer accessory bundles that pair wheels with hubs, bearings, screws and tyre inserts so you get a tested fit. Bundles reduce assembly time and ensure bore and hub compatibility. Check product pages for specific hub fit details and torque considerations; for procurement and education pricing, request a bundled quote through our account services.

Troubleshooting common wheel issues

Wobble or vibration: check hub seating and set screws. Slip under load: choose a tyre with higher friction or a larger contact patch. Incorrect bore: use an adaptor sleeve or replace hub to match motor shaft. Bearings noisy or stiff: swap to sealed bearings or re-lubricate where appropriate.

Lead times, invoicing and procurement notes

Stock labelled robot-wheels-in-stock is available for immediate dispatch from our Samrand warehouse or for branch collection; items not in stock are shown with estimated lead times. We provide VAT invoices for schools and businesses and support account quotes for larger orders - contact our sales team for bulk availability and lead-time planning, and check branch pickup options: Branches & pickup.

Compatibility callouts

When ordering robot wheels in stock, verify three key specs: diameter, bore/hub type and tyre material. If you need help matching wheels to a gearbox or motor, our product filters and brand pages can speed the decision: robot-wheels. For brand-specific questions, see our brand index: Shop by brand.
