6 Inch 600kg Load PU Mecanum Wheels for AGV and Omnidirectional Applications
1. Principle of Mecanum wheel
For enterprises that need to transfer, flexible operation of transfer equipment is required, and multi-direction and smooth operation can improve the efficiency of transfer. However, if you want to achieve smooth and multi-directional operation, you need to use the mecanum wheel.
First of all, the mecanum wheel has a universal wheel in the center, and the four periphery have corresponding universal wheels, so that when the equipment is running, the wheels in each direction will be consistent forward or backward.
Secondly, because the device can achieve smooth movement, so the transfer equipment can also move smoothly.

2. Advantages of mecanum wheel
- Omnidirectional. As we know, in the process of production or logistics transportation, goods need to be transported in multiple directions. If the bottom wheel is too rigid to easily change direction, it will only increase labor force and waste time. The universal nature of the mecanum wheel makes it easier to change the direction of transportation to meet the needs of different customers.
- Flexibility. The flexibility of the mecanum wheel is very important, only by solving the flexibility of the bottom translation, can the intelligent handling equipment more easily complete the user's instructions.
- Stationarity. The stationarity of the mecanum wheel is also quite favorable, and it is easy to cause losses if the equipment does not run smoothly when transporting some valuables.
In short, the current market is developing rapidly, and every enterprise should do a good job in transformation if it wants to catch up with the pace of market development. Intelligent transformation is a very key step. Take transportation and production enterprises as an example, improving transport efficiency is a key step, but the intelligence of transport equipment is not without mecanum wheel
