MAXTube is compatible with the REV ION System and is a strong extruded aluminum tubing that features various hole patterns that make robot structures easier to build. Hole patterns range from simple #10 clearance hole grid patterns to a repeated MAX Pattern every 2in.
The MAX Pattern features the MAXSpline bore with an array of #10 clearance holes on either side. It allows for easy installation of bearing for different live axle applications, as well as correct center-to-center distances for simple 1:1 power transmittion with #25 chain or RT25 belting. The integrated MAXSpline allows for easy torque transfer directly to the tube for arm joints and other applications.
