Explaining the cycle life of LFP and the continuous operation of AGVs. A wheel-integrated drive motor that is highly durable and capable of high load, not succumbing to battery life.
The lithium iron phosphate battery (LFP), which achieves an astonishing charge and discharge cycle life of thousands of times without using expensive rare metals. The elimination of the need for frequent battery replacements has made it possible to build "automated guided vehicles (AGVs) that operate continuously 24/7" in logistics warehouses and manufacturing sites. To fully leverage the potential of this long-life battery, it is essential that the drive components (undercarriage) that move the vehicle also possess "tough durability" capable of withstanding continuous operation and heavy loads for several years. It would be meaningless if the wheels or gears break down before the battery does. Our "WGM Series (Wheel Geared Motor)" is a high-durability drive unit that integrates a robust reduction gear with dedicated polyurethane wheels. It can be considered as a tough undercarriage for AGVs that continuously transport heavy loads maintenance-free for long periods, in line with the long-life cycle of LFP batteries.

basic information
■ Key Points of LFP Batteries and Continuous Operation AGVs - Synchronization of Lifecycle: The drive system (gears, bearings, wheels) must be designed to be resistant to wear and degradation, in line with the lifespan of LFP batteries, which operate continuously for several years. - Load-bearing Capacity in Continuous Operation: It is necessary to maintain stable traction even in harsh environments where heavy loads are transported continuously for 24 hours. ■ Features of Wheel Geared Motors (WGM Series) - Tough High Load-bearing Design: With a high-rigidity reduction mechanism and wear-resistant dedicated wheels, it boasts durability that does not falter even under prolonged heavy load transport. - Ease of Integration and Space-saving: The integration of the wheel and gear head simplifies AGV design and reduces maintenance effort. - We conduct domestic inspections for prototypes and small lots before delivery.
Price information
By providing products based on globally standardized ODM, we dramatically reduce the introduction costs compared to conventional domestic products. Prices will vary depending on the combination of wheel diameter, output, reduction ratio, and options (such as electromagnetic brakes), so please request a quote for details. Additionally, we offer flexible customization from a single unit, including changes to encoders to match higher-level controllers and adjustments to rated voltage.
