These rollers typically each have an axis of rotation at 45° to the wheel plane and at 45° to the axle line. [3] Each Mecanum wheel is an independent non-steering drive wheel with its own ...
The free rotating rollers (dark gray) allow the wheel to slide laterally. A molded plastic omni wheel. Omni wheels or poly wheels, similar to Mecanum wheels, are wheels with small discs (called rollers) around the circumference which are perpendicular to the turning direction.

The width is the inside distance between the bead seat faces. The offset is the distance from the wheel's true centerline (half the width) to the wheel's ...
