REV-41-1741 45mm U Channel - 440mm is an aluminum U-shaped channel with a maximum standard length (440mm) and a square cross-section of 45x45mm. Designed for seamless integration with the REV Robotics ecosystem, this channel gives FTC teams the ability to create the longest, stiffest, and most load-bearing structural elements. It is the ideal solution for forming the main frame of large chassis, long beams, large manipulator frames and other critical components where maximum deformation resistance and overall strength with a minimum number of connections are critical.
Key Features:
- Ultimate Structural Rigidity: The U-shape combined with a record-breaking 440 mm length provides the highest bending and torsional resistance in the line, which is necessary for creating super-loaded and large-sized elements without splicing.
- Full REV compatibility: Integrates with the REV 15mm Extrusion system, allowing the profile to be combined with other components to create complex, modular and durable structures.
- Extended Motion Pattern: The side edges of the profile are equipped with holes with a 16 mm pitch for M3 fasteners, which provides convenient and Flexible mounting of brackets, additional extrusions, bearings, shafts, motors, and servos.
- Cost-effective mounting: The slots on the top plane accept standard M3 hex nuts and bolts, eliminating reliance on expensive T-nuts.
- Application versatility: Ideal for robot main frames, long elevator tracks, chassis load-bearing members, and other applications requiring exceptional length and increased strength.
- 440 mm (approx. 17.3 in) length: The longest standard length in the line, allowing for the creation of monolithic, ultra-robust load-bearing members while minimizing potential points of weakness.
Best for: Experienced and ambitious FTC teams using the REV Robotics platform and designing robots with the largest or most extreme payloads structures. This profile is the choice for those who build champion robots and value uncompromising frame strength.
