38mm Fixed Plate Caster Wheel | Directional Guide
Product Overview
The 38mm Fixed Caster from Pro Tronix is a “rigid” wheel solution, meaning it does not swivel. In robotics and cart design, fixed wheels are used in pairs to provide tracking stability. While swivel casters allow for turning, fixed wheels ensure that your vehicle maintains a true straight-line heading, preventing the “wobble” often seen in four-swivel configurations.
Constructed with a high-strength steel housing and a durable polymer wheel, this caster is low-profile and high-performance. It is designed to be mounted to the rear of a robot chassis (working alongside front swivel wheels) or used in industrial furniture where back-and-forth motion is the priority.

Key Features
-
Directional Stability: Unlike swivel casters, this wheel is locked in one orientation, providing a steady guide for straight-line travel.
-
Low Profile: The 38mm diameter keeps the center of gravity low, which is crucial for preventing tip-overs in top-heavy robotic builds.
-
Floor Protection: The non-marking wheel material is safe for use on lab floors, tiles, and hardwood.
-
Corrosion Resistance: The zinc-plated steel frame is designed to withstand humidity and light industrial environments.
Common Applications
-
4WD/6WD Robot Bases: Used as tracking wheels to ensure the robot doesn’t drift sideways during long-distance travel.
-
Under-Bed Storage: Perfect for sliding drawers or bins that only need to move in a single linear direction.
-
Mobile Workbenches: Paired with swivel wheels at the front to create a “shopping cart” style steering geometry.
-
Small Industrial Trolleys: Providing a durable base for slim-profile parts carts in workshops.

SG90 Micro Servo Motor | 180° Rotation
The world’s most popular micro servo for hobbyists and students. Lightweight, affordable, and incredibly easy to control, the SG90 is the go-to choice for small-scale robotics, camera gimbals, and Arduino-based automation projects. Quality assured by Pro Tronix.
Product Overview
The SG90 Micro Servo from Pro Tronix is a tiny but mighty actuator that has become a staple in the maker community. Weighing only 9 grams, it packs enough punch to move small linkages, open latches, or rotate sensors.
Because it operates on a standard 180-degree rotation, you can precisely control its position to any angle between 0 and 180 degrees using PWM (Pulse Width Modulation). It is designed to work perfectly with the 5V output of an Arduino, ESP32, or Raspberry Pi, making it the ideal entry point for anyone learning about motion control and robotics.
