12mm Hex Hubs Pair, 4mm Bore (for DartBox & More)

These hex hubs are perfect for mounting wheels or 3D printed custom parts to 4mm motor shafts such as our very own DartBox Gearmotors. Made from strong yet lightweight 6061 aluminum, at 1/3rd the weight of brass or steel, these hubs will fit in well on almost any bot with direct-driven wheels! There are two extra tapped holes for inserting long set screws or normal M4 screws on the hex side to help secure narrower wheels, gears, pulleys, and more. And unique to these hubs is a precision turned 12mm diameter for adding a bearing (sold here) or bushing support to protect otherwise fragile direct-driven wheel setups.
Each package contains two (2) hubs, two (2) M4 x 10mm flat head screws, and four (4) M4 x 4mm set screws! 

NOTE: Starting in November 2023 these hubs no longer have a thread on the end, they will have a 4mm straight bore all the way through. 

These hubs are compatible with:

• DartBox Viper & Dragon Drive and HR 4mm Gearmotors
• DartBox Gecko 4mm
• Servocity Premium Planetary Gear Motor
• Servocity Econ Spur Gear Motor
• Rectified Robotics Brushless Gearmotor
• Botkits 22mm DC Gearmotor
• Double Geared 25mm Motors
• Any other 4mm shaft motors!

Note: These can be drilled out to a through bore 4mm to slide down a motor shaft, which is required for use with an SSP kit. Or even drilled to 6mm to support our 6mm shaft upgrade for DartBox Drive or other 6mm shaft motors.

Note: these hubs have a 4mm bore perfect for DartBox Gearmotor 4mm shafts. If you need to use these with a 6mm shaft, try our 6mm hex hubs! For larger shafts, they can be drilled. Insert the 4mm screw into the end before drilling to keep those threads, or drill the whole thing out to fit it onto a longer shaft. DartBox gearmotors and bearings are not included.
