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.
