Abstract

In this study, an attempt has been made to design and manufacture the mecanum wheels by using aluminium alloys. Sand casting is adopted as the fabrication technique. The study was also extended to understand the load carrying capacity of the mecanum wheel using standard compression test of universal testing machine. It was observed that single wheel can withstand maximum load of 340 Kg. It is also observed the hardness number up to 170 BHN (Brinell hardness number) was achieved through the casted aluminium product.
