    We often get requests to purchase our unique track modules that we use in our larger Security Rovers. Well we responded by making them available to order by anyone looking to build their own large tracked platform. These are the first ever available large complete track modules. They arrive assembled and ready to use. We can also build a customized chassis for you to attach them to or you can build your own.
    We offer a variety of gearing options and also include the Large NPC Motors with each Module.
    If you require a custom size or shape of Track Module, we can design and fabricate any length or shape you require. Customizing is free and you only pay for additional materials and components.

EMT Track modules Patent Pending
bar
 
    Our own EMT Track design utilizing rugged 1/2" Poly walls, Stainless threaded rod standoffs and solid steel axles. The track itself is an extremely durable polypropylene interlocking design with a Deep Diamond Rubber Tread pattern. The unique sprocket design guaranties the track will never slip or derail.
    The lower section rides on 6 high impact Rubber/Poly wheels on 3/8" steel shafts.
    The drive train consists of a 1/2" aluminum motor mount plate with a 4:1 Hardened Steel gear reduction on a 1/2" Stainless Shaft. Further reduction is accomplished with a heavy duty #35 Chain Drive in a variety of optional reduction ratios. All Shafts are mounted on Sealed and Shielded Precision Bearings. Includes an NPC-02446 24V Motor. |
    The track can easily and quickly be removed for service and the 1/4" threaded rod standoffs allow easy adjustments and fine tuning.
    These modules can be mounted in a variety of ways and are as simple as bolting directly to a chassis.
    They are also available with a raised 1" Rubber Paddle in place of the Deep Diamond Traction pads. These track sections are considerably more expensive but offer an incomparable amount of traction in any situation.
    If you require a custom chassis to be included or would like to request a quote for a custom shape or design integrating the track module, feel free to email our Sales Department.

Note: These Track Modules are not a toy. They are very powerful units capable of inflicting serious injury if misused. They are able to propel heavy rovers at high speeds and can cause serious injuries. Always use a speed controller with a no-signal failsafe to avoid inadvertent movement and exercise caution and common sense when building, testing and using your robot.  
   
   (During testing we had a person bump the controls forward, by accident, while navigating a rover out of the building. One of the front corners of the track
   broke a hole through a door and pulled it off it's hinges. This only took a second to happen and could have been a person's leg it hit so please exercise caution
   when building large projects and we can continue to enjoy this hobby safely.)
