How to Choose the Right Differential Drive Wheel

  • By payload: 500–650kg → BDEC-85/105/120; 2,000–3,200kg → BDEC-240/280; 10,000–12,000kg → BDEC-400/450; up to 23,000kg → BDEC-500/550.
  • By wheel diameter: Compact AGV (85–120mm) for tight spaces; mid (240–280mm) for carts; large (400–550mm) for heavy payload transport.
  • By voltage: 48V standard across the series; 72V for BDEC-450 high-power applications.
  • By motor power: 200W light duty up to 5.5KW for heavy-load; all servo motors 100W–6KW available.
  • Customization: PU or rubber tread, encoders, brakes, suspension, explosion-proof / low-temp / IP65 upgrades on request.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are the primary advantages of a differential drive wheel assembly compared to a single steering wheel?

A: This differential assembly utilizes a dual-motor independent control system. By eliminating complex steering rotating joints, it delivers a much lower profile height, simpler mechanical layout, and higher mechanical rigidity. This configuration allows heavy-duty AGVs to achieve an ultra-small turning radius and execute flexible multidirectional steering using differential speed control algorithms.

Q: Can this industrial drive wheel assembly handle uneven floor profiles?

A: The BDEC series is fully optimized for smooth, flat industrial concrete or epoxy facility floors. If your operating environment involves crossing door thresholds, expansion joints, or minor bumps, we highly recommend integrating our customizable shock-absorbing spring suspension kits to ensure consistent floor contact and traction.

Q: Do you offer customizable motor types, wheel materials, and environmental protections?

A: Yes. We offer comprehensive tailoring based on your performance demands. You can select matching servo motors ranging from 100W up to 6KW, choose wheel tread materials between heavy-duty Polyurethane (PU) and high-traction rubber, or request specialized upgrades such as explosion-proof designs, low-temperature resistance, and advanced IP protection ratings (e.g., IP65).
