Accessories

Kraken X60 Powered by TalonFX PowerPole Adapter Board

The Kraken X60 Powered by TalonFX PowerPole Adapter Board was designed in a collaboration between WCP and Vivid-Hosting. The connector board allows teams to easily connectorize the power and CAN screw terminals on the back of the Talon FX. This helps simplify wiring and facilitates faster motor swaps.

In addition, one of the connectors outputs power and CAN, allowing you to power a CAN based sensor like a CANcoder.

Pinions

Motor Pinions are smaller gears that are design to fit on a motor shaft. These gears use a wider 3/4" face width to help strengthen the gear tooth.

20 DP Gear Pinions

10DP Gear Pinions

• 10T Steel Spur Gear (10DP, 8mm SplineXS Bore)

#25 Chain Pinions

The #25 Motor pinions allow for teams to directly transfer motion throughout their system with the use of the #25 chain.

• 10T Steel Double Hub Sprocket (#25 Chain, 8mm SplineXS Bore)

• 12T Steel Double Hub Sprocket (#25 Chain, 8mm SplineXS Bore)

Pulleys

Theses pulleys allow teams to directly transfer motion throughout their system with the use of GT2 or HTD timing belts.

• 12T x 9mm Wide Aluminum Pulley (HTD 5mm, 8mm SplineXS Bore)

• 12T x 15mm Wide Aluminum Pulley (HTD 5mm, 8mm SplineXS Bore)

• 16t x 9mm Wide Double Flange Aluminum Pulley (GT2 3mm, 8mm SplineXS Bore)

• 16t x 15mm Wide Double Flange Aluminum Pulley (GT2 3mm, 8mm SplineXS Bore)

SplineXS Adapters

The adapters allow for teams to freely customize their systems while using the 8mm SplineXS supported hardware for their assemblies.

• 8mm SplineXS to 1/2" Rounded Hex Adapter (1" WD) (2-Pack)

• 8mm SplineXS to 3D Print Adapter (1/4" WD) (5-Pack)

SplineXS Spacers

This combination of spacers is designed to position motor pinions on the Kraken X60 shaft to ensure proper spacing and meshing of teeth.

The larger OD of these spacers is designed to help teams retain gears when using the SplineXS to 1/2" Rounded Hex Adapter.

Lengths Available:

• 1/16", 1/8", 1/4"

Motor Spacers

We have upgraded our previous spacer to be more versatile. This works for all standard motors with a 2” BC and spacers are available in ¼” and ½”. Great for spacing up motors in a swerve drive without cutting the shaft.

• 1/4" L Kraken X60 Motor Spacer (60mm OD)

• 1/2" L Kraken X60 Motor Spacer (60mm OD)

• 5/8" L Kraken X60 Motor Spacer (60mm OD, .875" Nub)
