This support block is a reliable solution for supporting 4mm shafts in structures requiring increased rigidity. Unlike plastic alternatives, the aluminum housing is highly resistant to deformation and thermal loads. A high-carbon steel bearing is installed inside the housing, ensuring smooth rotation with minimal friction.
The 32x32mm mounting grid with through-holes allows for easy integration into standard goBILDA system components. The compact height and robust base make it an excellent choice for supporting drive shafts, wheel axles, or manipulator arms where significant radial loads must be transferred to the robot frame.
- Weight: 9 g
- Bore: 4 mm
- Housing Material: Aluminum
- Bearing Material: High Carbon Steel
- Mounting Pattern: 32 mm x 32 mm (goBILDA Standard)
- Hole Type: Thru-Hole
The use of aluminum allows the block to effectively dissipate heat from the bearing at high shaft speeds. Through-hole mounting holes simplify installation using M4 bolts and nuts, ensuring the most rigid connection to the profile or plate.
When designing a unit, it is recommended to use two of these blocks per shaft to eliminate cantilever loads. When installing on an aluminum profile, first tighten the screws, thread the shaft through the bearing for centering, and only then tighten the fasteners.
