AGV & AMR MOBILITY

Pancake Motors for Low-Profile AGV & AMR Platforms

Build around the chassis height available after the battery and payload are placed. Evaluate direct wheel drive and shallow side-mounted layouts against starting torque.

Conceptual engineering schematic. Geometry and supply scope are project-specific.

Before selecting a winding

Resolve the installed envelope first.

Ground clearance

Check chassis deflection and loaded clearance as well as static height.

48V duty

Nominal bus, full battery range, controller and regenerative events.

Starts per hour

Use the actual route, payload and acceleration profile.

Choose wheel integration before selecting the winding

A hub layout, side-mounted motor and geared module place different demands on bearing support and packaging. Supply a drawing that includes the wheel, brake, gearbox, cable bend and service access. Avoid judging total drive depth from the motor body alone.

Verify repeated loaded starts on the representative route

Specify payload, slope, wheel radius and acceleration. Combine the traction requirement with current limits and a realistic thermal cycle. Request peak-duration and recovery information so a single successful start is not mistaken for continuous route capability.

Questions before freezing the drawing

Is direct drive always thinner?

Not necessarily. Compare the complete assembly for both layouts, including the motor diameter, support bearings, brake and wheel interface.
