7*24hours Support and Complete Drive System Solutions

1. Product Overview

The 1260W heavy-duty AGV steering drive wheel system is engineered for forklift-type AGVs operating in demanding industrial automation and logistics environments. Featuring high torque output, precise steering control, and superior load capacity, this system ensures stable and efficient performance under heavy loads and continuous operation. Its compact size, robust structure, and outstanding maneuverability make it ideal for heavy-duty material handling, intelligent warehousing, and smart manufacturing lines.


2. Drive System Performance

At the core of the system is a 1260W motor delivering a rated torque of 4 Nm, operating at 48 V DC with a rated current of 28.5 A and a rated speed of 3000 r/min. Multiple gear ratios (32, 36, 40) allow the AGV steering drive wheel to adapt to diverse torque and speed requirements across various industrial operations.

The 210 mm drive wheel supports a maximum load of 1000 kg, achieving a top travel speed of 61.8 m/min (or 55, 49.5 m/min under other gear ratios). A 210 mm turning radius ensures excellent maneuverability in tight spaces, making it ideal for forklift AGVs and compact autonomous vehicles.

The drive system is also equipped with an 8 Nm brake torque, providing reliable and safe braking during high-speed or heavy-load operations.


3. Steering System Performance

The steering system features a 400W motor with a rated torque of 1.27 Nm, operating at 48 V DC, a rated current of 10.6 A, and a motor speed of 3000 r/min. With a gear ratio of 160, it provides high-precision steering control and a maximum turning speed of 112.5°/s, enhancing operational efficiency and navigation accuracy for the AGV steering drive wheel system.

It incorporates an electronic limit angle of ±126° and a mechanical limit angle of ±135°, preventing oversteering and protecting the system from mechanical damage. A robust braking system further improves safety and stability during emergency stops or sudden maneuvers.
