Cross Axle and D-Shaft Motor Differences

The main difference between DC Motors and Servo Motors is how they connect to wheels and other accessories.

DC Motors

  • DC Motor (D Shaft):

    • The shaft is mostly cylindrical with one flat edge, forming a “D” shape.

    • This is typically referred to on the site as DC Motor (D Shaft).

  • DC Motor (Cross Axle):

    • This version has a different connector, similar to a Lego axle, which allows for alternative accessory connections.

Servo Motors

  • Servo (Hub Mount):

    • Attaches to the A19 Servo Hub, which is included in kits containing these servos.

    • The Servo Hub allows you to connect to accessories like the Mechanical Arm (D Shaft).

  • Servo (Cross Axle):

    • Connects directly from the servo’s axle to accessories such as the Mechanical Arm (Cross-Axle).

    • This simplifies setup by removing the need for a separate hub.

Important Notes

  • These motor types are not interchangeable.

  • We cannot provide just the plastic shaft caps because adhering them requires industrial-strength glue applied with precision equipment. Improper application could damage the motor.

  • Replacement parts are not available individually, so we can only sell and ship the entire Bits.
