GML Series Coaxial Wheel Hub Drive

The GML Series Wheel Drive capitalizes on planetary gearing within a coaxial system, situating the motor directly behind the wheel and eliminating the need for axle offset. This engineering choice results in a seamless cylindrical structure extending from the wheel to the motor, promoting streamlined design and space optimization.

This adaptable drive system can operate both as a direct drive and a differential drive. Additionally, it can integrate with a steering drive to craft a unified drive-steer unit, broadening its application potential.

Your Benefits

• A compact and streamlined design featuring a notably short overall length
• Customizable motor mount that matches your motor specifications, negating the need for additional coupling
• The convenience of directly mounting the wheel onto the gearbox output flange
• Integrated wheel bearing capable of sustaining high loads
• Exceptional efficiency for optimized performance
• Availability in 3 distinct frame sizes to suit varying requirements
• A fully sealed construction that is maintenance-free, enhancing longevity
• The option to choose an additional wheel, offering greater flexibility

GML Chassis Types

In the realm of autonomous transport vehicles, various chassis concepts are prominent, differentiated by their distinct movement behaviors. Autonomous Guided Vehicles (AGVs) and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) present diverse maneuvering prerequisites. AGVs, functioning as line-moving entities, have their vehicle frame alignment defined by the chassis, necessitating increased space during turns. Conversely, AMRs, being surface-mobile vehicles, allow for the independent setting of vehicle frame orientation irrespective of the vehicle's position.

Achieving the desired movement encompasses the utilization of different combinations of travel, steering, and integrated steering/travel wheel drives, along with non-driven wheels for load support. The GML Series Wheel Drive stands as an ideal choice for these chassis types, characterized by the following features:

• Tricycle Drive
• Power transmission through the dual rear wheels
• Steering executed via the front wheel, enhancing maneuverability through a separate steering axle
• Favorable load distribution, even on uneven surfaces
• Differential (Skid-Steer) Drive
• Propulsion facilitated through the central pair of wheels
• Steering achieved by varying speeds between the two wheels, allowing for precise line movements
• Incorporates two drives and two support wheels, eliminating the need for a separate steering drive
• 4 Drives with Mecanum Wheels
• Mecanum wheels enable area-mobility through four distinct travel drives without a steering drive
• The specific mounting of Mecanum wheels ensures area-mobility, facilitated by differential speeds across the drive axles

With the GML Series Wheel Drive, you can expect a versatile solution adept at meeting the varied demands of modern autonomous transport systems, offering both functionality and efficiency.
