The Industrial 200 Wheel Block with Geared Motor is a compact, robust, and modular drive unit designed for heavy-duty applications in material handling, automation systems, and industrial transport solutions. These wheel blocks are often integrated into transfer carts, trolleys, conveyor systems, and other mobile platforms where precise and reliable movement is required.
Key Features
1. Wheel Block Construction
Wheel Diameter: 200 mm (hence the name "200 Wheel Block")
Material: High-strength forged or cast steel wheels, optionally coated with polyurethane for noise reduction and floor protection.
Load Capacity: Typically supports up to 2–5 tons per wheel block, depending on configuration and application.
Mounting Design: Modular housing allows for flexible installation in various orientations (horizontal/vertical mounting).
Bearing System: Equipped with maintenance-free or sealed ball bearings to ensure smooth operation and long life.
Housing: Robust, precision-machined steel or cast-iron housing designed to resist deformation and absorb shock loads.
2. Integrated Geared Motor
Motor Type: Three-phase asynchronous motors or permanent magnet motors, available in various power ratings.
Gearbox: Helical or bevel-helical gearboxes are commonly used to ensure high torque output and compact design.
Speed Control: Compatible with VFDs (Variable Frequency Drives) for adjustable speed and smooth acceleration/deceleration.
Braking System: Optional electromagnetic brake for accurate stopping and holding on inclined surfaces.
Efficiency: Designed for high mechanical efficiency and low energy consumption.
Protection Class: Motors and gearboxes are often IP55 or higher, suitable for dusty or damp industrial environments.
Applications
Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs)
Transfer carts and rail-guided vehicles
Overhead or gantry cranes
Conveyor systems
Assembly lines
Rotating platforms or turntables
Advantages
Compact Integration: Combines wheel, bearing, and drive system into a single modular unit.
Customizable: Available with different wheel materials, gear ratios, and motor types to suit specific applications.
Low Maintenance: Designed for extended service life with minimal maintenance requirements.
High Precision: Enables precise speed and position control when used with encoders and VFDs.
Durability: Built for demanding industrial environments, capable of withstanding high loads and continuous use.
Optional Features
Integrated encoder for position feedback
