The Mecanum Wheel is a special wheel type that allows to move in any direction. Sometimes it is called the Ilon Wheel after the inventor Bengt Erland Ilon (an employee of the Swedish company Mecanum AB).

Identical pairs of wheels are installed diagonally. So that the axles of the rollers point to the center of the vehicle. Depending on the speed and direction of the wheels, our vehicle can move in any given direction.Mecanum wheel is made of high quality rubber, has big friction force, smooth tire operation processFeaturing omnidirectional movement, it allows robots to not only travel forward and backward, but also side to side. Perfect for congested spaceCompatible with HI wonder sensor modulesFour couplings are included, which is compatible with TT motorsCool wheel shape in black and yellow enhances appearance of your robot projectSpecification:Type: Mecanum wheelMaterial: rubberPurpose: DIY smart car accessoriesDiameter: approx. 60mm/ 2.36in
