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.
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.
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.
Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs)
