Omni Wheel 4 Pack

This is a four pack of omni wheels. These wheels go sideways thanks to the little rollers around the circumference of the wheel plus they also go round and round like normal wheels. Omni wheels allow robots to move in very interesting ways. The inner hole fits a 4mm shaft and the overall diameter is 48mm.

There are 4 sections in the wheel. Each section has 3 rubber pieces connected to each other by a 3*25mm spacer. Each section is able to roll in a perpendicular direction to the main wheel allowing sideways movement.

The rubber sections allow for good grip and long wear life.

Using the Wheels

The wheels have an inner diameter of 4mm. This is a round hole to fit a 4mm motor shaft. A tapping screw is used to lock the wheel onto a D-Shaft found on many gear motors.

The set also comes with a 3*20mm spacer assembly that can be used to make the wheel roll free.
