Re: Where to buy Omni Wheels 6"

If they're unpowered, why not opt for a different size Omni wheel in that location? When functioning essentially as a caster, the diameter shouldn't matter so long as the wheel is touching the floor. It may require some modification to your bearing/axle mount, but depending on your design that may not be a big deal.

Alternatively, you could double up on the AndyMark omnis to further distribute the load on each wheel.
