Custom drives for AGVs
16 December 2022
REPRESENTED IN the UK by Mclennan, German drive systems expert Gefeg-Neckar Antriebssysteme offers a custom designed drive systems capability specifically aimed at integration on Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGVs).

All types of AGVs can be equipped with Gefeg-Neckar’s drives up to a maximum power of 1.5kW. Powerful brushless DC motors provide maximum efficiency for battery operated AGVs as well as extended life with low maintenance. With load carrying capability per wheel up to 1000 kg, three outline drive models are available for customisation with the nominal wheel diameter between 160 and 230 mm. These are variously equipped with 24 or 48 VDC geared motors with maximum torque output of approximately 16, 27 and 88 Nm, and respective maximum speeds of 244, 182 and 78 rpm. This equates to nominal AGV cart speeds of 2.0, 1.5 and 0.9 m/sec respectively.
