60mm Mecanum Omni-Directional Wheel Set – 4-Piece TT Motor Robotic Wheel Kit

Product Description

The 60mm Mecanum Omni-Directional Wheel Set is a versatile mobility solution designed for robotic platforms that require precise multi-directional movement. Unlike conventional wheels, Mecanum wheels allow a four-wheel-drive robot to move forward, backward, sideways, diagonally, and rotate without using a traditional steering mechanism.

Each wheel features 9 independent rubber-coated rollers arranged around a durable plastic hub. The angled roller design generates the forces required for lateral translation, diagonal movement, rotation, and other complex driving patterns.

With a compact 60mm diameter and 30mm width, these wheels are suitable for small and medium-sized robotic platforms, educational projects, autonomous vehicles, competition robots, and DIY smart cars.

The wheels are compatible with standard TT geared motors and selected building-block systems, making them easy to integrate into custom robot chassis. The yellow-and-black construction provides a distinctive appearance while maintaining a practical mechanical design.

Specifications

Design and Construction

Each Mecanum wheel consists of a durable plastic hub with 9 rubber-coated rollers positioned around the wheel at an angle.

The rollers provide the directional force required for omni-directional movement. Their rubber surfaces help improve traction on suitable indoor surfaces while providing smoother and quieter operation compared with hard plastic rollers.

The compact 60mm size makes the wheels suitable for smaller robotic chassis where space and weight are important considerations.

The left- and right-hand wheel configuration is essential for correct Mecanum drive installation.

Working Principle

Mecanum wheels create multi-directional movement by combining the rotation of four independently controlled wheels.

By changing the speed and direction of individual motors, a properly configured four-wheel platform can perform:

• Forward movement
• Reverse movement
• Left and right translation
• 45° diagonal movement
• Rotation in place
• Drifting and combined motion

For sideways movement, the motors on the diagonal wheel pairs are controlled in opposite directions to create the required lateral force.

Omni-Directional Movement

The Mecanum wheel system allows the robotic platform to move in multiple directions without physically turning the chassis.

This is particularly useful in narrow spaces, indoor environments, warehouses, robotic competitions, and applications where precise positioning is required.

TT Motor Compatibility

The wheels are designed to work with compatible TT geared motors, including commonly used yellow TT gear motors.

The package includes 4 couplings for 60mm wheels, allowing the wheels to be connected to compatible BO/TT gear motors.

Always verify the motor shaft and coupling dimensions before assembly.

Product Disclaimer

Product images are shown for illustrative and representational purposes only. The actual wheels may vary slightly in colour, dimensions, roller appearance, surface finish, or coupling design depending on the manufacturing batch.

Motors, chassis, motor drivers, controllers, batteries, wiring, building blocks, and other accessories shown in product images are not included unless specifically mentioned in the package contents.

Actual movement performance depends on motor torque, motor speed, chassis weight, floor surface, wheel alignment, power supply, and motor-control software.

Important Notes

Wheel Orientation

Correct placement of the left-side and right-side wheels is important for proper Mecanum movement.

Independent Motor Control

For full omni-directional movement, all four motors should normally be controlled independently using a suitable four-channel motor-control system.

Surface Conditions

The wheels perform best on smooth and firm indoor surfaces. Uneven or slippery surfaces may reduce traction and movement accuracy.

Motor Compatibility

Check the supplied coupling and motor-shaft dimensions before assembly to ensure proper mechanical fit.
