Overview

Mecanum wheels are a revolutionary design that enables omnidirectional movement for robotics and vehicles. These wheels, equipped with rollers set at an angle, allow motion in any direction without changing the orientation of the robot or vehicle chassis.

Features

• Omnidirectional movement capability.
• Durable and robust construction.
• Compatible with various motor hubs.
• Available in multiple sizes for different applications.
• Highly efficient for maneuvering in tight spaces.

Working Principle

The rollers on Mecanum wheels are mounted at a 45-degree angle to the wheel's axis. When all wheels work together in a specific pattern of speed and direction, they produce a combination of forces that enable movement in any direction, including forward, backward, sideways, and diagonally. This makes them ideal for robots requiring high maneuverability.

Applications

• Mobile robotics.
• Automated guided vehicles (AGVs).
• Warehouse automation.
• Exploration and reconnaissance robots.
• Research and educational projects.
