In this video, we will design 'Omni Wheel' in SolidWorks. The design will have 10 external rollers attached to the whole circumference of the two plates. Following are the parts that we will design:
- Rim Plate
- Bush
- Rollers
- Pin
Moving on, we will assemble 'Roller' and 'Pin' attached with two 'Instrument Ball Bearings' on both sides of the Roller. After that, we will assemble the 'Rim plates' together with 'Round Head Rivets (DIN 660)' and place the 'Roller Assembly' in place. Finally, we will assemble the two plates together with the 'Bush' to create the final Product.

Omni wheels or poly wheels, similar to Mecanum wheels, are wheels with small discs (called rollers) around the circumference which are perpendicular to the turning direction. The effect is that the wheel can be driven with full force, but will also slide laterally with great ease. These wheels are often employed in holonomic drive systems.
