Hands-On Slider for STEM Builds

The Tamiya 70258 Universal Slider Set is a flexible element for educational construction kits. Built to support practical learning, this set helps users explore mechanical principles through assembly and testing. Suitable for hobbyists and teachers who want a clear demonstration of motion conversion, it is a useful classroom or workshop tool.

How It Converts Motion

This slider set turns rotational input from gearboxes into straight-line travel using a slider-crank arrangement. The design is straightforward and effective, with a slider base that includes attachment holes and rollers for a compact assembly. Its construction makes it well suited to projects that need controlled linear movement.

Design Compatibility and Usage

The sliders work with both straight and curved universal arms and can pass through 20mm clearances, offering layout flexibility. A joint piece links the slider to the universal arm and acts as the rotation axis, allowing the part to be used in a variety of mechanical setups.
