Product Overview: Mecanum wheels allow a robot to achieve omni-directional movement while supporting large weights. AndyMark mecanum wheels feature our patented designs. The rollers of our mecanum wheels are supported on both sides and not cantilevered.
 
Bengt Ilon invented this wheel concept while working for the Swedish company Mecanum AB in the early 1990's. A Mecanum-style drive base uses 4 wheels, including 2 "right" wheels and 2 "left" wheels. One right and left is on each side of the robot. Each wheel is driven independently, therefore a Mecanum-style drive base must have 4 independent motors (and gearboxes, if used).

The 6" Mecanum wheels utilize 16 rollers positioned between 2 steel plates.
The 6" Mecanum HD wheel utilize 15 rollers positioned between 2 plates.
The 8" Mecanum wheels utilize 12 rollers, positioned between 2 aluminum side plates. These wheels are delivered in kit form, unassembled.
The 10" Mecanum wheels utilize 12 rollers, positioned between 2 plates. The steel version has a tubular hub on the interior.

Common specs among Mecanum wheels:
  • All accept 1.125" OD ball bearings
  • Coefficient of friction tested on tight pile carpet
  • All wheels fit AndyMark Hubs
  • all 10" wheel rollers are SBR rubber
  • 1.64" width at Hub
  • 6 holes around a 1.875" diameter circle
  • all 6" and 8" wheel rollers are made of a polycarbonate interior and a urethane exterior

Driving a Wheel:
There are two easy ways to drive a wheel. A wheel can be driven with a sprocket or pulley in a “dead axle” setup or with a hub in a “live axle” setup.
Dead Axle: A sprocket or pulley is attached directly to the wheel and the assembly spins on a stationary shaft.
Live Axle: Wheel is attached to a hub and rotates with the shaft
