Space-saving design of AGV: Wheel-type motor for heavy loads
Explanation of weight reduction of the vehicle body through the substitution of lead with lithium. A wheel motor that can be considered for space-saving in the undercarriage of heavy AGVs.
In the design of AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) for transporting heavy loads, "lightweight vehicle bodies" and "securing internal space" have been long-standing challenges. Conventional lead-acid batteries have low energy density and are very heavy, so to ensure the necessary operating time, the batteries themselves become enormous, occupying a significant portion of the vehicle's weight. By switching to lithium-ion batteries, the weight can be reduced to about one-third and the volume to about one-half for the same capacity. This creates more space inside the vehicle body, enabling a lower floor design and an increase in maximum load capacity. The "Wheel Gear Motor (WGM Series)" that we handle is a motor unit that can be considered for the undercarriage of heavy load AGVs, further leveraging the advantages of space-saving design brought about by lithium batteries.
