Dagu Rover 5 Chassis (4 Encoders, 4 Motor
s, ROHS Certified) Product Introduction
The Dagu Rover 5 Chassis is a high-performance, durable tracked robot chassis designed for enthusiasts, students, and professionals engaged
Core Configuration & Key Features
1. 4 Independent Motors with High-Torque Gearboxes
The chassis comes standard with four powerful DC motors, each paired with an 86.8:1 high-torque gearbox, delivering a stall torque of 10 kg/cm per motor to ensure strong load-bearing capacity and stable operation even on complex terrains. Each motor operates independently, enabling precise control of the chassis’s movement—including forward, backward, left turn, right turn, and in-place rotation—making it highly flexible for various motion scenarios. The motors have a rated voltage of 7.2V and a stall current of 2.5A, balancing power and energy efficiency for long-term operation.
2. 4 Precision Optical Quadrature Encoders
Each motor is equipped with an optical quadrature encoder, providing accurate motion feedback for precise position and speed control—essential for autonomous navigation and path planning projects. The encoders offer a resolution of 1000 state changes per 3 revolutions of the output shaft (equivalent to 333.33 pulses per revolution), ensuring that the chassis can accurately track its movement distance and speed, minimizing positioning errors and improving motion control accuracy. The encoder interface is simple to connect, with red (+5V), black (0V), yellow, and white (quadrature outputs) wires for easy integration with most robot controllers.
3. ROHS Certification for Environmental Safety
The Dagu Rover 5 Chassis is fully ROHS certified, adhering to strict environmental protection standards by restricting the use of harmful substances such as lead, mercury, and cadmium. This certification makes the chassis suitable for educational environments, home use, and commercial projects that require eco-friendly and safe components, ensuring compliance with global environmental regulations and reducing environmental impact.
4. Adjustable Ground Clearance & Versatile Terrain Adaptability
A unique feature of the Rover 5 Chassis is its adjustable ground clearance, which can be modified by rotating the gearbox assemblies in 5-degree increments. The stretchy elastic rubber treads maintain sufficient tension even when the clearance is adjusted, allowing the chassis to adapt to different terrains—including uneven surfaces, small obstacles, and rough ground—with ease. Additionally, adapters are available to replace the tracked treads with standard RC car wheels, expanding the chassis’s versatility for different application scenarios.
5. Durable Construction & Practical Design
The chassis features a rugged white plastic body, which is lightweight yet sturdy enough to withstand daily use and minor impacts during operation. It includes a built-in battery holder that accepts 6x AA batteries (batteries not included), and it is recommended to use NiMH batteries for longer service life and higher current output compared to alkaline batteries. The chassis also has ample space to house additional electronics, such as robot controllers, sensors, and Arduino development boards (mounting PCBs are available for easy installation). Four noise suppression coils at the bottom of the chassis reduce electromagnetic interference, ensuring stable motor and encoder performance.
