Product Description
The balancing chassis provides the mechanical foundation for two-wheeled self-balancing robots. The two JGA25 motors with integrated gearboxes enable speed reduction and precise speed control via the magnetic bearing encoders. This eliminates the need for external encoder modules and greatly simplifies control by a microcontroller.
Self-balancing only works when the weight distribution and chassis geometry are properly coordinated. A center of gravity that is too high or too low prevents the system from righting itself. The motors require a dedicated power supply with level shifting if they are connected to 3.3 V boards; an H-bridge or motor driver module is required. The rubber wheels provide sufficient grip on flat, dry floors.
Typical applications include educational and hobby projects in which students or makers program a self-balancing system from scratch. In educational settings, the chassis is suitable for projects aimed at understanding control engineering. It also works well as a base for a ball-catching robot or a simple obstacle-avoidance system, provided that the center of gravity is adjusted correctly.
A microcontroller board, a motor driver module, a suitable power supply (e.g. battery pack), and software for position sensors are required, typically an accelerometer and gyroscope for detecting tilt. The mounting plates are predefined; any additional mechanical modifications (e.g. a lightweight sensor mast) must be designed and constructed independently to maintain stable balance.
Safety Notice
Work on motors and electrical drives is the responsibility of a qualified electrician unless it involves simple extra-low-voltage applications. Consult a qualified electrician before commissioning if anything is unclear. The chassis is intended exclusively for building prototypes and for testing and development purposes and is not intended for operation in household electrical circuits. Make sure the motor polarity and operating voltage are correct when connecting the system.
