Mecanum Wheels Pair (80mm)

Mecanum Wheels Pair (80mm) – Overview

Our Mecanum wheels pair delivers true omnidirectional control for small and medium robots. Angled rollers convert wheel rotation into lateral and diagonal motion so your robot can move in any direction without changing its heading. The compact 80mm size makes these wheels a great choice for constrained builds and mobile platforms where space is limited.

Key Features

• Omnidirectional motion: Move forward, backward, sideways, and diagonally with precision.
• Compact 80mm diameter: Fits tight chassis layouts and low-profile robots.
• Polyurethane rollers: Provide traction across carpet, tile, and concrete while minimizing vibration and noise.
• Sealed bearings: Protect internal components from dust and wear for reliable long-term use.
• Load capacity: Designed to support up to 20 kg total load for most small robot applications.
• Silent operation: Optimized roller geometry and materials reduce motor strain and acoustic output.

Installation Guide

The Mecanum wheel kit is designed for fast assembly without soldering or special tools. Basic steps:

1. Confirm motor shaft size and select the supplied adapter.
2. Slide the adapter and wheel onto the motor shaft and align mounting holes.
3. Secure with the included screws and torque to the guide values in the quick-start paperwork.
4. Repeat for all four corners and perform a brief test run to confirm rotation direction and calibration.

Tuning Tips

• Calibrate individual wheel speeds to eliminate drift during straight-line motion.
• Use closed-loop feedback (encoders or IMU) for improved positional accuracy.
• Test on your target surface and adjust motor control gains for smooth translation and rotation.

Use Cases

• Robotics competitions and robot soccer where rapid direction changes are needed
• Autonomous mobile robots and AGV prototypes in warehouses or labs
• Research projects focusing on omnidirectional locomotion and control algorithms
• Educational robot platforms and advanced DIY builds

Maintenance and Care

• Regularly inspect rollers and bearings for debris and wear.
• Keep mounting hardware tightened to the recommended torque.
• Replace rollers if excessive wear appears to preserve performance.

Why Choose Our Mecanum Wheels

We designed these Mecanum wheels based on feedback from robotics enthusiasts and multiple prototype cycles to balance durability, quiet operation, and easy assembly. The result is a dependable wheel pair that helps you focus on coding and testing rather than mechanical hassles.
