Detailed Product Description:

Equip your robotic creations with the ultimate in mobility using the Red Caster Wheel for Robot. This specialized component, also known as a 360° Rotating Metal Ball Caster Wheel, is an essential part of any robot chassis design, providing smooth and omnidirectional movement. It functions as a crucial "neutral" or support wheel, allowing your robot to pivot and turn with minimal friction, making it perfect for complex navigation and agile maneuvering.

The wheel's core technical strength lies in its construction. The durable metal ball, typically made from high-grade stainless steel, is housed within a rigid plastic casing. This design ensures both longevity and low rolling resistance. For small robots and vehicles, its compact size and low profile are a significant advantage, while its high load capacity—often rated for up to 5 kg—provides reliable support for the weight of your motors, sensors, and power systems.

Installation is straightforward, with a simple mounting plate and pre-drilled screw holes that allow for quick attachment to any robot chassis, including common platforms like the Arduino-based car kits. Whether you're building a line follower robot, an obstacle avoidance vehicle, or an educational DIY project, this metal ball caster is the perfect solution. Its vibrant red color adds a visual flair to your design, and its robust engineering guarantees consistent, flexible performance, making it a staple for every robotics enthusiast's toolkit.

The Red Caster Wheel with Metal Ball is a must-have accessory for any robotic platform that requires free movement and support. Mounted as a third or fourth wheel on two-wheel drive robots, it allows 360-degree smooth rotation with minimal friction.

Designed with a durable plastic body, zinc-coated metal ball, and pre-drilled mounting holes, it ensures stable performance on flat surfaces. Widely used in robot car projects, obstacle-avoiding robots, and line followers, this caster wheel makes your robot's navigation more reliable and fluid.

Its bright red color adds a touch of visual appeal to your robotic design while its lightweight and compact design ensures ease of integration.
