6" HD Mecanum, Wheel Set (am-0732)
Product Overview:
6 inch, HEAVY DUTY Mecanum wheel set
This is a set of 4 wheels, consisting of 2 "right" wheels and 2 "left" wheels. All 4 wheels are required to make a Mecanum drive holonomic system to work properly.
This version of our Mecanum wheel can handle a 200 pound load at each wheel. The interior body of this wheel is made of 1/8 inch thick stamped aluminum, while the perimeter side plate is made of 1/8 inch thick steel, zinc plated. The perimeter plate is riveted to the interior body, and each perimeter bent tab rests on the interior body rim. This support allows for the wheel to handle more load.
Specifications:
The gray urethane rubber roller (am-0893) has a durometer rating of 65a. The roller has a polycarbonate core, and 2 high load bushings. The bushings ride on brass tubes, sandwiched between the plates with a #10 screw.
Wheel Structure:
15 rubber rollers are sandwiched between 2 steel plates. The steel plates are riveted and bolted to two interior cone-shaped aluminum pieces, which form the interior hub of the wheel. The two interior pieces are sandwiched together at the bore with a thickness of 0.25 inch.
These wheels can be purchased in a set of 4, or individually. They are sold without hubs, sprockets, or bearings.
With Axle and Hub: If driven by a shaft, these parts are needed for each wheel
