8 in. MK Mecanum Wheels

This wheel has improved capacity, lower cost, and better interfacing ability than our older 8 in. Mecanum wheels. This version is named 8" MK Mecanum in honor of AndyMark co-founder Mark Koors (MK) retiring in June 2016.

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.

Strong, steel side plates are riveted to a black polycarbonate core. This core has a common AndyMark hub, designed for mounting aluminum hubs, sprockets, or bearings easily. The standard 6-hole mounting pattern and bearing bore are utilized here on the wheel. The rollers are molded with a nylon core and a 80A durometer TPU overmold in a special way which adheres the roller core to the skin for high durability. These rollers spin on a captured brass axle tube, contained by a #10 machine screw.

We have been able to drive cost out of these wheels, so they are less expensive than our previous 8" Mecanum wheels, while still having a very high capacity and a smooth roll.

These wheels are ASSEMBLED and shipped ready to roll!
