45mm U Channel - 248mm (REV-41-1747)

REV-41-1747 45mm U Channel - 248mm is an aluminum U-shaped profile of considerable length (248 mm) with a square section of 45x45 mm. Designed to integrate with the REV 15mm Extrusion system, this extrusion forms the foundation for large, strong, and rigid structures such as the main chassis frames, longitudinal beams, manipulator frames, and other critical components of the FTC robot.

Key Features:

• High Structural Rigidity: The U-shape and 248 mm length provide excellent resistance to bending and torsion, which is critical for large load-bearing elements.
• Seamless Compatibility with REV: Fully integrates with the REV Robotics ecosystem, allowing you to combine the extrusion with other 15mm Extrusion components to create complex structures.
• Extended Motion Pattern: The side faces are pre-drilled with 16 mm pitch holes for M3 fasteners, which Simplifies mounting a wide range of components, including brackets, additional extrusions, bearings, shafts, motors, and servos.
• Fastener Savings: The slots on the top plane accept standard M3 hex nuts and bolts, eliminating reliance on expensive T-nuts.
• Use Versatility: Ideal for building robot main frames, long elevator tracks, chassis load-bearing members, and other structures where length and strength are key.
• Length of 248 mm (approx. 9.75 in): Allows the creation of large components without the need to splice shorter sections, improving overall structural reliability.

Best for: For FTC teams using the REV Robotics platform and designing robots with large or highly loaded structures. This profile is an excellent choice for creating a strong and durable power frame.
