How to Choose the Right Vertical Drive Wheel with Steering

  • By payload: 500kg → BLEC-150; 1500kg → BLEC-230; 1800kg → BLEC-250; 2200kg → BLEC-310; 3200kg → BLEC-343; up to 6500kg → BLEC-406/457/470.
  • By wheel diameter: 150–250mm for compact chassis; 310–343mm mid; 406–470mm for heavy shuttles and lifters.
  • By voltage: 24V / 48V across most models; 80V for BLEC-457/470 high-power.
  • By motor power: 750W light duty up to 10000W heavy; brushed DC/AC/servo 400W–16KW available.
  • Customization: PU or rubber tread, encoders, brakes, suspension, explosion-proof / low-temp / high-IP on request.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is a vertical drive wheel with steering used for?

A: It integrates a drive motor and a steering motor in one compact vertical unit, enabling AGVs and industrial robots to move forward/backward and turn within a minimal footprint. Ideal for forklifts, AGVs, and material-handling robots in narrow aisles.

Q: Can the wheel and motor be customized?

A: Yes. Choose PU or rubber tread, brushed DC / AC / servo motors 400W–16KW, voltages 12–96V, and options such as shock-absorption spring, encoders, limit switches, explosion-proof or low-temperature builds.

Q: Are 2D/3D drawings available?

A: Yes. We provide PDF drawings, 3D STEP models, and custom parameter modifications for motor power, voltage, and wheel material to match your AGV chassis.
