Robot Drive Systems
Nidec AGV Wheel motor
The LD AGV Wheel motor is designed to meet the demanding requirements of AGV applications. The direct mount design helps streamline installation, while the low profile gearbox provides gear reductions up to 9:1. Our system outputs up to 250Nm of torque, and speeds up to 450 rpm.
AGVs have various accuracy requirements, so we provide a selection of various feedback options that can tailor the system to your specific needs. Brakes are available upon request. This system can be designed around your power source - whether it is 48V or 400V, we have options available.
Nidec AGV kit
Building robots is faster and easier than ever before with Nidec Motion Control’s AGV Kits! Our kits include integrated Motor/Gearbox/Wheels with a matching, pre-configured and tuned motor controller to carry payloads of 500KG, 1000KG or 2000KG depending on the kit.
AGV’s need two motors to move and steer. Nidec Motion Control is able to make this work with a single controller versus two. Compared to the traditional One Motor/One Controller approach, the Dual Channel is simpler, cheaper, safer and easier to integrate and maintain. Two controllers can even team up to drive 4 motors to move Omnidirectional Robots.
ElectroCraft MobilePower wheel drive
ElectroCraft's MPW integrates a 14-pole Brushless DC motor with a heavy-duty, single-stage planetary gearbox mounted inside the hub of an aluminium wheel with polyurethane tread. With optional encoder feedback to support positioning capability and electromagnetic brake to hold position when power is removed. The MPW combines optimum performance with high-efficiency, quiet operation and long life.
ElectroCraft MobilePower™ MPW series wheel drives feature an integrated design that provides increased performance and reliability at an affordable price compared to traditional motor/gearbox/wheel combinations.
Peak torque up to 12.4 Nm
Continuous torque up to 6.1 Nm
ElectroCraft MobilePower gearmotor
ElectroCraft's MP and MPP range integrates a 4-pole PMDC brush motor with a 2-stage right-angle worm gearbox, designed for industrial applications, adding industrial grade cabling plus encoder feedback options to support positioning capability.
ElectroCraft MobilePower™ gearmotors feature an integrated design that provides increased performance and reliability at an affordable price compared to traditional motor/gearbox combinations.
Peak starting torque up to 109.89Nm
Continuous torque up to 31.42Nm
Nidec Transaxles
Transaxles are mechanical devices which combine the electric motor, differential, axle and brake into one integrated drive solution. These types of drives are great for floorcare machines; both walk-behind and rideon, electric vehicles of many different applications, portable machines and personal vehicles. Our transaxles are rugged, dependable and made to withstand the rigors of demanding drivetrain applications.
Brakes & Clutches
Kern Motion Magnetic Particle Brake
As the name suggests, magnetic particle brakes use a specially developed magnetic powder to provide the braking torque. The magnetic particles align themselves with the magnetic field lines and ensure a force-fit connection between the rotor and housing. By varying the strength of the current, and therefore also of the magnetic field, these brakes can be precisely adjusted, making them suitable for a wide range of applications from 10 Nm - 100 Nm.
Infinitely variable torque
Torque virtually independent of speed
Low-wear and silent operation
Compact design
Kern Motion Permanent Magnet Brake
A hysteresis brake equipped with permanent magnets makes these brakes suitable for a wide range of applications from 0.15 Nm to 8 Nm, where a constant torque is required and no voltage source is available. The robust aluminium housing allows the brake to dissipate heat effectively to the surroundings, making it suitable for higher slip powers.
Compact and robust design
Speed-independent torque delivery
Completely wear and maintenance-free
No voltage source required
Suitable for higher slip powers
Can be used both as a brake and as a clutch
Kern Motion PMK Hysteresis Brake
The PMK is one of our smallest adjustable hysteresis brakes. Thanks to the use of high-energy neodymium magnets, these brakes do not require any electricity for operation. Thanks to the special design, the brake can be mechanically adjusted in 10 increments from 0.008 Nm to 0.05 Nm, allowing the torque to be precisely adapted to the relevant application. This makes this brake very attractive, especially for small applications.
Compact and robust design
Speed-independent torque delivery
Completely wear and maintenance-free
No voltage source required
Manually adjustable (10 levels)
Can be used both as a brake and as a clutch
Kern Motion Hysteresis Brake
The PMB series consists of adjustable hysteresis brakes with permanent magnets. A ring on the outer diameter allows our brake to be set precisely to the required torque. The braking torque ranges from virtually 0 Nm to over 2 Nm. This brake is therefore suitable for a variety of applications, especially ones in which the required torque cannot be precisely determined. In this case, the output is configured directly in the application.
Compact and sleek design
Speed-independent torque delivery
Linear torque increase
Completely wear and maintenance-free
No voltage source required
Manually adjustable (adjustment ring on the outer diameter)
Can be used both as a brake and as a clutch
