Nexus Robot 14101L – Left Mecanum Wheel 152 mm
The Nexus Robot 14101L is a left Mecanum wheel with a 152 mm diameter. The wheel has a width of 55.52 mm and 15 rollers. Wheel body: Aluminum alloy. Roller material: Nylon+TPR.
Applications for the 14101L
The 14101 series combines Nylon+TPR rollers with an aluminum body. Its applications include mobile robots and warehouse or logistics projects where wheel width and individual motor control need to be considered in the chassis design.
- Mobile robotic platforms
- Automated storage and logistics Systems
- DIY and Arduino robotics Projects
- Intelligent transportation systems
Suitability for a specific project depends on the load, floor surface, drive, control system and mechanical design.
Version and chassis arrangement – 14101L
The 14101L is the left-hand version. When selecting an individual wheel, its left-hand roller arrangement must match the intended mounting position. Lateral, diagonal and rotational platform movement requires correctly arranged wheels and coordinated drives.
Materials and dimensions of the 14101L
Wheel body: Aluminum alloy. Roller material: Nylon+TPR. The 55.52 mm width and specified weight of 600 g per wheel are included in the table below for installation planning.

Load capacity note: The specification 15 kg per wheel must be used with its stated basis. Do not derive a higher platform load by simply multiplying this figure; load distribution, center of gravity and driving maneuvers must be considered in the design.
Mounting and mechanical connection of the 14101L
Before installing the 14101L, check the wheel interface, shaft diameter, fasteners, bearing arrangement and clearance for the rollers. Select the hub or coupling from the actual interface and technical drawing. Wheel diameter alone does not establish compatibility with a particular accessory hub.
Nexus lists the 18007 6 mm aluminum mounting hub as a compatible hub for the 14101L. This option requires a suitable 6 mm shaft.
To integrate the Nexus Robot 14101L, plan the wheel, hub or coupling and motor shaft as one mechanical connection. The specified 55.52 mm wheel width needs to be considered alongside the position of the motor in the frame. Use the mounting interface and available technical files to establish how the wheel is secured and how much space remains between the wheel body, frame and drive.
The rollers need clearance around the entire wheel circumference. Allow space for screw heads, brackets and side covers, and consider wheel position, ground clearance and support of the drive. Matching the shaft bore is only one part of selecting the connection: the hub interface and fasteners must also suit the wheel. When replacing a wheel on an existing chassis, compare the removed component before reusing its motor or bracket.
14101L for robotics, AGV, AMR and mobile Mecanum platforms
With a specified size of 152 mm (6 inch), the Nexus 14101L can be considered for a mobile robot or transport platform design. A Mecanum chassis may suit AGV, AMR or driverless transport concepts where sideways movement and controlled alignment are required. These movements depend on the correct wheel arrangement and coordinated drives.
In research and teaching, a suitably assembled robot can serve as a test platform for vehicle kinematics, navigation and control. Mechanical wheel selection and drive control are considered together: where is each wheel positioned, how is each motor controlled, and how much space is available in the frame? Prototype chassis planning provides an opportunity to address these questions before assembly.
For intralogistics or automated material handling, the 14101L version needs to suit the load and floor surface. Its Nylon+TPR roller material, dimensions and stated capacity provide the product-specific basis for selection. Consider the vehicle weight and intended payload. When modifying an existing robot, also compare the mounting interface and the other wheels against the revised build.
Selecting the 14101L individual wheel for a chassis
The 14101L is the left-hand version of this series. When ordering a replacement, compare the model number, roller arrangement and position on the vehicle. An individual wheel does not produce omnidirectional platform movement on its own. For a new build, the remaining wheels, motor connections and control system need to work together. Compare related versions or sets using their own specifications before making a selection.
