WHEEL MODULE AND VEHICLE

Problem [0002] Special applications such as industrial automation require flat and structurally compact wheel modules. For different packaging concepts, it is necessary to be able to offer versatile assembly options. In addition, since the terrain may not be entirely even, suspension is required to ensure that the wheel contacts the ground properly. A wheel module package should further enable the integration of different drives such as in-wheel or flange-mounted motors. [0003] The invention aims to provide a wheel module that meets these diverse requirements. [0004] Solution [0005] Wheel module having a stub shaft (1) rotational about a wheel axis (13), characterized in that the shaft (1) is pivotal around both an outer steering axis (11) and an inner steering axis (12) running parallel to the outer axis (11), the steering axes (11, 12) running perpendicular to the wheel axis (13).
