    STOCK MATERIAL INFO

    • Chassis for robots are generally from 24 gauge steel sheet metal. ( 24 gauge = 0.60mm = 0.0239” thickness)
    • Different thicknesses are available but should not be used, if possible. Try to use structural features for stiffness instead.
    • Different sheet metal materials: Only in special cases, aluminum and other materials are available.
    • Delrin (a type of plastic) is available as sheet stock 1/4” (6.35mm) to make custom sleeve bearings – check out the sample at the front
    • Steel rod 4mm is available to make custom length shafts (fits meccano size gears and adapters)
