IG32-SB2 2WD Tube Mount Robot Platform Assembly and Operation The IG32 2WD tube mount platform is a simple robot that can support high payloads. It consists of the 2WD robot chassis and provides all the necessary parts to turn the robot chassis into an operational robot. It supports our IG32 planetary gear motors.

IG32-SB2 2WD Tube Mount Robot Platform Mechanical Assembly 1. Start by mounting the motors to the motor plates using the provided M3 screws. Use Loctite to keep the screws from vibrating out. 2. Next mount the motor plate to the motor tube, again using Loctite or nyloc nuts.

IG32-SB2 2WD Tube Mount Robot Platform 5. To mount the wheel shafts, place the bearing in the outer hole in the tube and slide the shaft through it with shaft collars on either side of the bearing. The shaft collar inside the tube is used to mount the shaft to the motor. Make sure to use the longer set screw provided (1/4-20 x .375”) here and tighten it down through the hole in the side of the shaft and onto the flat part of the motor shaft.
IG32-SB2 2WD Tube Mount Robot Platform 6. Mount the bearing plates onto the omni wheel using the provided hardware. Next mount the omni wheel to the chassis mount brackets. Make sure to use a bronze sleeve bearing and a plastic spacer on each side of the wheel and use the 3/8 bolt as the shaft. Tighten bolt with locknut enough so that there isn’t a lot of side to side play in the wheel but it still spins freely.

IG32-SB2 2WD Tube Mount Robot Platform 7. Mount the caster brackets to the chassis plate using the existing holes and the provided ¼-20 hardware. 8. If using qty. 2 lead acid batteries, the holes are already in the chassis for mounting and screws and standoffs will be provided with the kit. See below image for instructions. If using a different battery configuration you will need to drill holes to mount them. Position the batteries on the chassis where you want them to be mounted.
IG32-SB2 2WD Tube Mount Robot Platform 9. Pick a spot to mount the switch and motor controllers. Mark and drill holes (1/8” for motor controller, ½” for switch). Optionally, switch mounting brackets are available for purchase for easier switch mounting (see link below).

IG32-SB2 2WD Tube Mount Robot Platform 10. An upper deck is available as an option. To mount, use the provided ¼-20 bolts and nuts. Use three nuts per bolt as shown below. Inflating the tires Before running the robot on the ground, make sure the tires have been inflated. Running the robot with a flat tire can cause the tube to spin inside of the tire and damage the valve stem. For this reason it is a good idea to check the tires periodically to make sure they are inflated.

Before powering on the robot make sure it is up on blocks so the wheels can spin freely.
IG32-SB2 2WD Tube Mount Robot Platform 7. If the wheel aren’t moving as desired, it may be necessary to swap the Alieron and Elevator plugs or to reverse the channels on the transmitter. To reverse channels see the instructions for “Servo Reversing” in the Spektrum documentation. General Terms 1.
