Mecanum wheel 3d model

cgstudio

The Omnidirectional wheel is a revolutionary design for a wheel that can propel a vehicle in any direction. It was first conceptualized by Bengt Ilon, a Swedish engineer who worked at Mecanum AB in 1973. This innovative wheel features a conventional rim with rollers attached to its circumference. Each roller has an axis of rotation positioned at a 45° angle relative to the plane of the wheel and parallel to the centerline of the roller. By coordinating the movement of all four wheels, vehicles can achieve forward or backward motion, while rotating the wheels in opposite directions on adjacent sides enables the vehicle to turn. Conversely, running the wheels on one diagonal in opposition to those on the other diagonal allows for sideways movement. The versatility of these wheel motions empowers vehicles to move in any direction with complete rotational freedom. Model specifications: * Diameter: 500 mm * Width: 295 mm The design was created using Solid Works 2012 and rendered with Keyshot 5.0.99.
