Vertical Non-Steering Drive Wheel (Vertical Travel Wheel)

This industrial vertical non-steering travel wheel features a compact vertical motor layout and a high-torque bevel gear transmission system, delivering strong linear propulsion with low noise. Capable of supporting single-wheel loads from 1,500kg to 6,500kg, it is engineered for heavy-duty differential AGVs, AMRs, and warehouse shuttles. It supports wide voltage configurations (12V-96V), multiple motor choices (BLDC/Servo/AC), and optional suspensions or encoders for precise closed-loop control.
  • Detailed Description

Product Overview

This series features a compact, vertically integrated drive wheel layout designed explicitly for heavy-duty forward and backward movement. By focusing on single-axis linear motion and integrating it with rugged gearboxes and industrial motors, this travel wheel offers lower structural complexity, high mechanical transmission efficiency, and simplified control system integration.

Key Features

  • Bevel Gear Structure: Offers high mechanical transmission efficiency, low operational noise, and a compact footprint with substantial torque output.
  • Full Range of Wheel Diameters: Available in diameters including 150mm, 230mm, 250mm, 310mm, 343mm, 406mm, 457mm, and 470mm to match various chassis clearances.
  • Exceptional Load Capacity: Spans a broad load profile from 1,500 kg up to 6,500 kg per wheel, handling light warehousing to heavy manufacturing duties.
  • Wide Input Voltage & Power: Supports wide input voltages from 12V to 96V, compatible with diverse industrial battery systems.
  • Versatile Motor Choices: Can be configured with DC Brushless, AC Induction, or Permanent Magnet Servo motors ranging from 400W to 16KW.
  • Environmental Customization: Available in explosion-proof configurations, low-temperature designs, and high IP ratings for harsh working environments.

Target Applications

  • Differential-Drive AGV & AMR Systems: Deployed in dual-drive configurations utilizing differential speed control for steering and positioning.
  • Automated Factory Tuggers & Carts: Provides linear movement for material handling along fixed paths or automated assembly lines.
  • Magnetic-Guided Systems (AGV): Integrates into magnetic-tape-guided transport platforms performing predictable, highly repetitive routines.
  • Heavy Material Lifters & Shuttles: Operates efficiently in storage and retrieval setups requiring robust, forward-and-backward material handling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the primary use case for this non-steering vertical drive wheel?
A: This wheel is tailored for AGVs and warehouse robotic carts that only need reliable forward and backward linear tracking. Turning operations are managed by using multiple wheels via differential speed adjustments rather than steering links.
Q: Can this travel wheel handle uneven floor surfaces?
A: The system achieves optimal operation on smooth, flat industrial floors. For facilities with uneven surfaces or thresholds, we recommend integrating suspension assemblies or utilizing high-grip tread alternatives.
Q: Are 2D/3D drawing models and custom configurations available?
A: Yes. We provide comprehensive engineering support, including full PDF drawings, 3D STEP models, and custom parameter modifications for motor power, system voltage, and wheel materials to perfectly match your AGV chassis designs.
