Wheel-type geared motor with polyurethane tires for heavy object transportation.

Overwhelming traction with built-in planetary gears! A wheel-type geared motor that reliably supports the heavy-duty AGV's mobility even in harsh environments.

In recent years, the demand for AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) and AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robots) has been increasing in manufacturing and logistics, and the 'WGM Series' from Kuru Corporation is optimal for their mobility. In Japan's robot development, the limited options and high prices of in-wheel motors pose significant barriers. Our company dramatically reduces the introduction costs of drive units by basing our products on world-class ODM standards. This product is a geared motor in a wheel shape (with polyurethane tires) that incorporates a highly efficient planetary gear internally. It features a robust design intended for heavy load transport, delivering powerful traction. It strongly and stably supports heavy-duty AGVs, ranging from several hundred kilograms to ton-class, even in the harsh environments of factories and warehouses. Designers can directly select efficient units from a rich lineup without worrying about the trade-off between "speed" and "torque."

Price information

By providing products based on globally standardized ODM, we dramatically reduce the introduction costs compared to conventional domestic products. Prices may 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.
