A set of 100mm Aluminium Mecanum wheels Basic (Bush type rollers)-(4 pieces)

A set of 100mm Aluminium Mecanum wheels Basic with bush type rollers typically consists of four individual wheels designed for use in robotics and mechatronics applications. Here’s what each part of the specification means:

• 100mm Diameter: Indicates the size of each wheel. In this case, the diameter of each wheel is 100mm. This measurement affects the overall size and footprint of the robot or vehicle using these wheels.
• Aluminium Construction: Specifies the material used to manufacture the wheels. Aluminum is often chosen for its lightweight properties and durability, making it suitable for robotics applications where weight and strength are important considerations.
• Mecanum Wheels: Indicates the type of wheel design. Mecanum wheels feature rollers set at 45-degree angles around the circumference of the wheel. This arrangement allows for omnidirectional movement when each wheel’s rotation speed is controlled independently.
• Basic (Bush Type Rollers): Refers to the type of rollers used in the wheel design. Bush type rollers are a common choice for Mecanum wheels. These rollers typically consist of a cylindrical shape with a bushing or bearing inside, providing smooth rotation and reduced friction during movement.
• 4 Pieces: Specifies the quantity of wheels included in the set. In this case, the set contains four wheels, which is typical for many robotic platforms requiring four-wheel drive for stability and maneuverability.

Overall, a set of 100mm Aluminium Mecanum wheels Basic with bush type rollers (4 pieces) would be suitable for building omnidirectional robotic platforms or vehicles that require precise and agile movement in all directions, while benefiting from the lightweight and durable properties of aluminum construction.

A set of 100mm Aluminium Mecanum wheels Basic (Bush type rollers) package contain Two Left and Two Right side wheels which allow a robot to achieve omnidirectional movement while supporting heavy weights. This set of four 100mm Heavy Duty Mecanum 4 Wheels. These wheels are most suitable for high performance robots, Robocon, Robocup, US First, Battle robots etc. Since Left and right wheels are mirror images of each other these wheels are given as a set of 4 wheels.

A mecanum wheel is a wheel with a series of rollers attached to its circumference with rollers having an axis of rotation at 45 degrees to the plane of the wheel. In general 4 Mecanum wheels are used in a robot. By varying the speed and direction of the motors robot can be made to move in any direction without changing its orientation.
Moving all four wheels in forward and backward cause direction causes the robot to move in forward and backward.

Running wheels opposite to each other in each side causes the robot to move in a lateral way without changing orientation. Other speeds and direction combinations cause the robot to move in different directions. The main advantage of the Mecanum wheels above Omnidirectional wheels is that all four wheels contribute force when the robot is moving in forward, backward, left or right direction without changing orientation.
