I have a (large) list of parts that I would like the weights of. The more precise the better, but I’ll take anything I can get. The reason for this is so that I can allow my CAD library to be as accurate as possible, so I can get a good weight estimate on robots/mechanisms I build. Autodesk Inventor allows me to get an estimated weight based on the volume of the part and the material, but I’d like to have more accurate weights. I was able to find the weights for many of the parts on their Product Pages, but a lot of them (mostly the steel/aluminum parts) did not have those listed. So here’s the list:
Motor Controller 29
2.6" diameter Turntable Bearing
64-Tooth Spur Gear
Worm GearWorm Wheel
High Strength 12-Tooth Gear
10-Tooth Sprocket
High Strength 6-Tooth Sprocket
Tread Link
Tank Tread Traction Link
Bevel Gearbox Bracket
Worm Gearbox Bracket
Rack Gearbox Bracket
Inner Slide Member
Steel Swerve Bracket
Intake Roller
2.75" Diameter Wheel
4" Diameter Wheel 4" Diameter Wheel with High Traction Tire (Or just High Traction Tire?)
5" Diameter Wheel
2.75" Double-Roller Omni-Directional Wheel
Pillow Block Bearing
Shaft Collar (with set screw installed)
Steel Washer
Spacer, 4.6mm
Cylinder, Air Push, Spring Return
Cylinder, Bi-directional
Aluminum Chassis 25x25x2
1/4" Pitch Angle, 1x1x10 holes
Aluminum C-Channel 1x2x1x35
Plate 15x5
Angle 2x2x35
Chassis Rail 3x2x35
C-Channel 1x2x1x35
Short Slotted Angle
Slotted Angle
Bar 1x25
Drive Shaft Bar Lock
45 Degree Gusset
Pivot Gusset
Angle Gusset
Plus Gusset
Hinge
Screw 6-32 x 0.500" Silver
Screw 6-32 x 0.500" Locking (Assuming the same as Screw 6-32 x 0.500" Silver
Screw 8-32 x 0.250"
Screw 8-32 x 0.500" Locking (Assuming the same as Screw 8-32 x 1.250" andScrew 8-32 x 1.500" )
Nut 8-32 Nylock
Standoff 0.25"
Coupler 8-32 x 1.000"
Flexible Rubber Link
Battery Strap
Yaw Rate Gyroscope Sensor V1.0
Ultrasonic Range Finder
Analog Accelerometer V1.0
Jumper
Backup Battery Holder
VEXnet USB Adapter Key
If VEX does not have the weights of these parts for some reason and that is why they are not on their product pages, then that is fine – just let me know and I’ll just ask the VEX Community and/or make a trip to the post office one of these days. Otherwise it would be great if these weights could be put on the product pages.
Thanks so much!

P.S. I had a feeling that I’d make someone unhappy.
Mr. John:
I hate to be a bother, but I was wondering how far along this has gotten.
Unless this has gotten somewhere and the weights are simply not put up yet? Anyway, just looking for an answer.
Thanks!
