Materials and Structure
The drive wheel frame is made of carbon steel for strength and rigidity. The wheel tread uses PU (polyurethane) for low noise, high wear resistance and good floor protection. The structure integrates motor, gearbox, wheel and steering function into one compact unit, reducing the need for additional mounting components.
Applications
The PLT-120 differential drive wheel is suitable for a wide range of industrial automation and logistics applications including AGVs, AMRs, automated forklifts, transfer robots, and other mobile platforms. It is commonly used in intelligent warehouses, automated production lines, factory material handling, e-commerce fulfillment centers, airport logistics, and port transportation. The drive wheel operates reliably in indoor factory floors, automated warehouses, production workshops, logistics centers and semi-outdoor industrial environments.
Customization
Special versions can be designed for low-temperature warehouses, high-humidity areas, cleanrooms, dusty workshops and heavy-duty industrial applications. Customizable parameters include wheel diameter, mounting dimensions, reduction ratio, rated load, motor power, voltage, encoder type, communication protocol and braking method. This ensures compatibility with different AGV and AMR designs.
