Product Overview

Plaction wheels are a lightweight wheel made of strong molded polycarbonate. This eight inch diameter wheel has high traction blue nitrile roughtop tread. High performance plastic and high traction, Plaction.


Included Hardware: Usage:
There are two ways to drive this wheel. One way is with a Axle and Hub, and the other is with a Sprocket. To install a sprocket or hub onto a Plaction wheel, use 10-32 x 1.75" socket head screw (qty. 3 or 6), and 10-32 nylock nuts. To use one sprocket on each side of a Plaction wheel (2 sprockets total) use 10-32 x 2.5" screws (3 or 6) and 10-32 nylock nuts.

With Axle and Hub:
  • If you wish to drive this wheel with an Axle and Hub, you can pick your hub by fitting any of the AndyMark hubs (except the Small DD Globe Hub) to this wheel. Hubs are NOT included in the price of the wheel. If this is your choice, then no bearing is needed.
With Sprocket:
  • If you wish to drive this wheel with a sprocket, then the sprocket needs to be attached to the side of the wheel, and two ball bearings need to be pressed into the wheel (one on each side). The smallest sprocket that will work with these wheels is a S35-24 tooth and a S25-36 tooth sprocket.
With Bearing:
  • If your design needs this wheel to spin on a stationary axle (and possibly be driven by a sprocket), you will need 2 bearings with a 1.125" od pressed into this wheel. Use am-0029 for a 1/2" bore and am-0209 for a 3/8" bore. One bearing is pressed into each side of the wheel. Bearings are NOT included in the price of this wheel.
With Tread:
  • This wheel is designed to capture 1" wide conveyor belt tread (Roughtop or Wedgetop) between 2 wheel halves. The 6 perimeter screws can be loosened by 1/8 inch to install the desired tread. We recommend using Alligator Clips to hold the tread together on the wheel. One 8" Wheel Roughtop Tread is included in the price of the wheel.
For a Wider Wheel:
This wheel is designed so that a 7" PVC schedule 40 (estimated) pipe can be inserted between the two wheel halves, and a wider wheel can be created (additional tread may be needed)

    KOP Hubs

    The FRC kit of parts chassis hubs don't fit over the wheels like they do on the KOP wheels. The bolt pattern is the same and you can bolt the hubs on. The problem occurs in the width of the axle and the width created with the extra wheel and hub width. The wheel is round where the hubs touch. The recessed area of the hubs are a flower pattern that match the flower pattern of the area of the KOP wheels where the hubs attach. It adds roughly a 1/4 inch on each side for a total of a 1/2" on the center drive wheel that uses two hubs. Other than not being able to use this wheel with the standard KOP it seems to be well built. (AndyMark response: Thank you for this feedback. You are correct, as this product has an older version of a hub compared to our newer wheels.)
