Offset Robotics BTSK-STR-300-PO 2 Stage Box Tube Slide Kit (300, Pocketed) is a complete kit from Offset Robotics for quickly deploying a durable and precise two-stage linear actuator (elevator) in your robot. The box tube design provides high rigidity and torsional resistance, while the pocketed design reduces overall weight without sacrificing strength.
Key Features of the Kit:
- Complete Kit: Includes all necessary mechanical components: box tubes, carriages, bearings, fasteners, and belt tensioners (if a belt drive is used).
- Two-Stage Design: Allows for significant working stroke in a compact folded size. Ideal for elevators, manipulators, and other mechanisms requiring large vertical or horizontal movements.
- Pocket-sized (lightweight) design: Profile components feature pockets, optimizing the strength-to-weight ratio—a critical parameter for competition robots.
- Length 300 mm: Defines the base length of the guides. The total working stroke when unfolded will be significantly greater.
- Smoothness and rigidity: The use of linear bearings or roller carriages (depending on the configuration) ensures smooth movement with minimal backlash.
- Ease of assembly: The kit is designed for easy installation with detailed instructions, which saves time during the intensive build season.
For whom: For FTC teams who need a ready-made, reliable and proven kit for creating a power lift for lifting game elements, placing manipulators or other mechanisms with large linear travel. The kit is suitable for both beginners and experienced teams who value time and quality components.
Note: To operate the elevator, you will need a separate power module (gear motor, servo with pulley) and a drive element (belt, rope, chain), which may not be included in the basic kit. Please check the full list of components.
