Mounting an Omniwheel
So... We got omniwheels, and want to mount them. Unfortunately, we don't know what we need to mount them. The baring can just fall out. We got spacers to mount sprockets, but they don't keep it in place either. What do we need to mount them?

Re: Mounting an Omniwheel
We need a little more information. What type of omniwheels are you using, what type of drivetrain are you using (live axle or dead axle). My gut says you need a hub but we need more information to know for sure.

Re: Mounting an Omniwheel
We are using a (or we want to use) four wheel drive. It is independent of the axel. It's an 8" aluminum omniwheel. In the picture on Any Mark, the baring is just sitting in the middle, but it doesn't stay. http://www.andymark.com/ProductDetai...Code=am%2D0431

The wheels are independent of the axel. We are using four wheel drive, 2 of them are omniwheels. http://www.andymark.com/ProductDetai...Code=am%2D0431.

Yeah, the barings go into the center and they don't just slide, but they can easily be removed, like when test drove the robot before we got the sprockets, and the omniwheels came off.

Re: Mounting an Omniwheel
Did the wheel come off the bearing or did it come off the chain? Are you using spacers on your axle to ensure the wheel can't move laterally during operation?

Re: Mounting an Omniwheel
We have used these before, 6 inch version. How we mounted them on a dead ale system was using flanged Bearings similar to these: 6384K348
I would recommended purchasing these as the quickest solution. |

So it should look like Frame| Spacer| Bearing | Wheel | Bearing | Spacer | Frame The spacers should be long enough so that the wheel barely moves side to side does that answer what you were asking? |

Should be like this | is sprocket - is axle = is spacer || is wheel -==|=||==- |

Re: Mounting an Omniwheel
viperred396 is correct, spacers will probably be your quickest solution.
You can also use shaft collars to stop the wheels from traveling latterly and prevent the bearings from falling out. |
