Too bad it wasn't in the description. But it still is not compatible with Actobotics.</p>
Customer #482835 on ROB-10006 - Universal Mounting Hub - 5mm AluminumCustomer #482835urn:uuid:caa02c54-04fa-80d4-d7ec-915c6d64d8152014-02-01T23:13:50-07:00<p>I ordered a few pairs of these knowing that the set screw size was 4-40 and that they came with set screws, however, I had expected the hub screw holes to be 6-32. I suppose I shouldn't have expected this since it doesn't mention 6-32 in the description, yet, at the same time, it DOESN'T mention the size of the screw holes on the hub AT ALL in the description anyway. So, just FYI to everyone who doesn't have a habit of looking at every dimensional drawing for every part ordered, the screw hole sizes on the hub are 4-40 as well. Plus, you may also want to note that these hubs are NOT at all compatible with the Actobotics product line. The holes do not line up no matter how you orient them. These hubs are manufactured by Pololu, not Actobotics. This fact isn't stated in the description and was another contributor to my confusion. But, I know now. And, despite all the confusion, it's a pretty nice hub. It holds tight.</p>

Either should be close enough to the 0.05" to work.</p>

I hope find 0.05" key. I live in Uruguay, The allen key in inch are uncommon.
Bye</p>

Which is the size of allen key?</p>

The threaded holes for mounting the hub to another object are for common #4-40 screws, which can be found in whatever length is best for your project at most hardware stores (e.g. Home Depot, Lowes, etc).</p>

And the holes are so damn small i cant find matching screws..<br>
Really bad they dont come with the hubs...</p>
