Re: Urethane Wheels Run off Cim Motor

You can use a trantorque style OD/ID expanding/clamping hub and just clamp onto ANY round shaft.

You may have to browse several brands to get the ID you desire. They do make bore adapters to get the ID correct.

This is actually how they are intended to be me mounted. The only downside is a hub is $20-60.

We chose to machine hubs just like the above teams, and were happy with that result. It's actually a pretty easy part for a lathe (especially if you use plastic as your OD tolerance is pretty loose as it'll deform when you press pretty easily). Our plastic hubs were like .015" large.
