Wheel drives for robotics

Innovative wheel drives and wheel hub motors from Nanotec offer efficiency & precision for service robots & automated guided vehicles (AGVs).

Wheel drives play a critical role in the mobility of service robots and AGVs. They allow self-propelled vehicles to move with precision and agility and enable them to navigate varied terrains, deliver payloads, and perform a wide range of tasks in warehouses, hospitals, hotels or homes. The choice of wheel drive system depends on the specific requirements of the application, such as maneuverability, load capacity, or precision.

Nanotec offers two types of wheel drives: Modular wheel drives that combine wheel, gearbox and bearing in a space-saving unit and compact integrated wheel drives that consist of wheel, gearbox, brushless DC motor and encoder, thus reducing the number of moving parts and connections. 

Both types of wheel drives are designed to meet individual performance requirements and can be integrated seamlessly into different robotic platforms. 

Wheel drives – Types
