How to Use W420 Steel Ball Universal wheel for Smart car
Mount the wheel onto your robot chassis by aligning the 3 mm hole over an M3 screw and F3 nut secured in the 40 mm spaced fixing groove. Tighten the screw to ensure the wheel scaffold is firmly held, while allowing free rotation of the steel balls. Position multiple wheels evenly to maintain stable omnidirectional movement, then test on a smooth surface and adjust alignment as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I install the W420 universal wheel on my robot chassis?
Align the wheel’s 3 mm hole over an M3 screw inserted through your chassis plate. Place an F3 nut in the 40 mm groove, then tighten the screw until the nylon scaffold is secure but allows free steel ball rotation.
Which surfaces work best with this steel ball wheel?
Smooth, flat indoor surfaces such as tile, hardwood or laminate provide optimal performance. Avoid rough or uneven terrain that can trap debris between balls and scaffold.
What maintenance does the W420 wheel require?
Periodically remove dust and debris from the steel balls using a soft brush or compressed air. A light wipe with a dry cloth keeps the nylon scaffold and balls rolling smoothly.
