Description
Technical Overview
The 70mm Rubber Omni Wheel operates as a multidirectional wheel that provides 360-degree mobility for robotic platforms and transport systems. Because it features a series of independent rollers mounted around its circumference, the wheel allows for lateral movement and seamless rotation. Consequently, this design eliminates the friction typical of traditional fixed wheels.
Furthermore, engineers design this multidirectional wheel for integration into holonomic drive systems. In these configurations, operators control multiple wheels independently to achieve complex manoeuvres. In addition to enabling advanced movement, the plastic construction ensures excellent impact and corrosion resistance. Meanwhile, the rubber rollers provide the necessary traction for stable power transmission in automation and motion control applications.
Applications
Technicians primarily utilize the 70mm Omni Wheel in service robots, automated trolleys, and transfer conveyors. In these applications, the systems depend heavily on high manoeuverability. Because the wheel glides sideways without slipping, it works ideally for compact mobile robot kits that require precise tracking and fast turning in tight spaces.
Additionally, production teams frequently integrate these wheels into luggage systems and industrial material handling equipment. To ensure a secure connection, assembly teams often pair them with 6mm or hex-compatible motor shafts. As a result, this combination creates stable drive systems capable of supporting loads up to 25kg.

Maker Store Tips and Tricks: 70mm Omni Wheel
-
Design for 360-Degree Mobility: Utilize these multidirectional wheels in holonomic drive systems by operating multiple wheels independently. This allows your robotic platform or automated trolley to achieve lateral movement and complex maneuvers without the friction of traditional wheels.
-
Match the Right Motor Shaft: When building your drive system, pair these wheels with a 6mm or hex-compatible motor shaft to ensure stable power transmission and secure integration.
-
Maximize Your Load Capacity: Take advantage of the robust plastic construction and rubber rollers; when properly configured in a stable drive system, these wheels can support loads up to 25kg.
-
Optimize for Tight Spaces: Use these wheels on compact mobile robot kits, service robots, or transfer conveyors where high maneuverability, precise tracking, and fast, sideways gliding are essential.
-
Check Your Clearances: Keep the wheel’s 61mm width (including the hub) and 70mm diameter in mind when designing your chassis to ensure adequate clearance for full rotation in all directions.
