[For LFP batteries and collaborative AGVs] Silent in-wheel motor
Explaining the safety of lithium iron phosphate and the mobility of collaborative AGVs. A quiet and space-saving drive motor is essential in environments where humans coexist.
The lithium iron phosphate battery (LFP), which has overcome the major challenge of "thermal runaway (fire risk)" that was common with conventional lithium-ion batteries, is rapidly gaining popularity as a power source for autonomous service robots and collaborative AGVs operating in offices, hospitals, and factories where workers are present, thanks to its extremely high safety. Next-generation mobility that operates safely in environments with people requires not only battery safety but also "quietness" that eliminates unpleasant gear noise and a "low-floor compact chassis" that allows smooth movement in narrow corridors. Our "HSM series (hub servo motor)" features an in-wheel unit that incorporates a direct drive motor within the wheel. With no reduction gears, it boasts overwhelming quietness and can be considered an ideal chassis for service AGVs and collaborative robots that leverage the safety of LFP batteries.
basic information
■ Key Points of LFP Batteries and Collaborative Mobility - Absolute safety in human environments: A combination of LFP batteries, which have no fire risk, and a quiet, smooth drive system that does not intimidate people is essential. - Direct control: Due to the absence of gear backlash, it can perform precise emergency stops and smooth evasive maneuvers when detecting obstacles. ■ Features of In-Wheel Motors (HSM Series) - Completely silent operation: The gearless structure makes it ideal for environments where quietness is required, such as hospitals and late-night warehouses. - Space-saving design: Since the wheel itself serves as the power source, ample space can be secured for LFP batteries and control equipment. - We conduct domestic inspections for prototypes and small lots, ensuring delivery of all units.
Price information
We have achieved an overwhelming low price of less than half compared to equivalent in-wheel motors from domestic manufacturers. By significantly reducing the initial introduction cost of in-wheel motors, it becomes possible to dramatically increase the number of trials in robotics development and R&D. The price may vary depending on the quantity during mass production and custom specifications for tire materials and shaft shapes (ODM), so please feel free to request a quote along with the specifications and requirements for the in-wheel motors.
