OmniWheel Walker System Product Specifications
Complete technical details for the OmniWheel and Bell & Cup system
Full technical specifications for the OmniWheel Walker System including dimensions, weight, materials, load ratings, and compatibility information for the Bell and Cup attachment design.
OmniWheel Dimensions & Weight
The OmniWheel is engineered to replace standard walker wheels without modifications. Each wheel measures 5 inches in diameter with a 1.25-inch tread width, providing a stable contact patch while maintaining a compact profile. A single OmniWheel weighs 6.2 ounces, keeping the overall walker weight virtually unchanged from factory configuration.
Materials & Construction
- Outer rollers: Medical-grade thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) for grip and durability
- Inner hub: Glass-reinforced nylon for structural rigidity
- Axle bearings: Sealed stainless-steel ball bearings rated for 250 lb per wheel
- Bell and Cup interface: Anodized aluminum with self-centering taper lock
Bell and Cup Attachment System
The patented Bell and Cup design allows tool-free installation in under 60 seconds per wheel. The Cup mounts permanently to the walker leg, while the Bell on the OmniWheel snaps securely into place with an audible click. The taper-lock geometry prevents accidental detachment during use while allowing intentional removal with a simple twist-and-pull motion.
