Polyurethane AGV Drive Wheels for material handling

Polyurethane AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) drive wheels are specially designed wheels that combine high-performance polyurethane tread with durable cores to ensure excellent traction, load capacity, and durability in automated material handling systems.

Polyurethane AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) drive wheels are specially designed wheels that combine high-performance polyurethane tread with durable cores (often steel or aluminum) to ensure excellent traction, load capacity, and durability in automated material handling systems. These wheels are critical components for AGVs, AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robots), and other automated logistics equipment, providing smooth and efficient movement in industrial environments.

Key Features

1.High Load-Bearing Capacity

Polyurethane has a high load-bearing capability while maintaining flexibility and resilience. This allows AGV drive wheels to support heavy loads without deformation, ensuring stable and reliable performance.

2.Outstanding Traction and Grip

The polyurethane tread offers superior traction on various floor surfaces, including epoxy, concrete, and coated floors. This prevents slippage and ensures precise navigation and braking, which is crucial for AGV movement accuracy.

3.Low Rolling Resistance

Polyurethane drive wheels are designed with optimized hardness and elasticity, reducing rolling resistance. This improves energy efficiency and extends battery life for AGVs.

4.Excellent Wear and Abrasion Resistance

The high abrasion resistance of polyurethane ensures a long service life, even in demanding industrial environments where AGVs operate continuously.

5.Noise Reduction

Compared to metal or hard plastic wheels, polyurethane provides a cushioning effect that minimizes noise and vibration during operation, creating a quieter workplace.

6.Floor Protection

Polyurethane treads are non-marking and gentle on floors, preventing scratches or damage to sensitive surfaces.

7.Chemical and Oil Resistance

Polyurethane resists many chemicals, oils, and greases, which makes these wheels suitable for use in factories, warehouses, and logistics centers.

Applications in Material Handling

Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs).

Conveyor systems and transfer carts.

Pallet handling robots and shuttle systems.

Warehouse and distribution center automation.

Production line transportation in automotive, electronics, and food industries.

Advantages over Traditional Rubber Wheels

Longer service life due to superior wear resistance.

Consistent performance under heavy loads and continuous operation.

Enhanced precision for automated navigation systems.

Better energy efficiency due to reduced rolling resistance.

Polyurethane AGV drive wheels are engineered to deliver superior performance in automated material handling systems, combining high load capacity, excellent traction, and exceptional wear resistance. Their low rolling resistance enhances energy efficiency, while the non-marking polyurethane tread protects floors and ensures quiet, smooth operation. Resistant to chemicals and oils, these wheels are ideal for demanding industrial environments such as warehouses, production lines, and distribution centers. Compared to traditional rubber wheels, polyurethane AGV drive wheels offer longer service life, improved precision, and reliable performance, making them a preferred choice for AGVs, AMRs, and other automated logistics equipment.
