NEW Nidec-SHIMPO SU Series Wheel Drive for AGV and Mobile Robot OEMs

Compact, Modular Wheel drive with Integral BLDC Motor

NIDEC-SHIMPO has earned a solid reputation within the robotics sector as the leader in high volume, high precision, gearbox and motor technologies. Utilizing our strong proficiency in robotic applications, NIDEC-SHIMPO has developed a modular wheel-drive assembly for AGV’s, motorized carts and mobile service robots. We leverage the large variety of high-volume BLDC motors manufactured by the NIDEC Group that offer low-rotor inertia, fast dynamic response, and high torque, in order to deliver the most compact wheel drive for each application. The extremely compact footprint is achieved by utilizing a rotating in-hub planetary design. Robust bearings allow a maximum radial load up to 1760 lb (800kg), providing better durability to handle a wide range of loads and duty cycles. The Nidec BLDC motors are available with 24 or 48 VDC input in 200 or 400 Watt power. Combined with the 21:1 or 28:1 reduction, various starting torques are generated up to a maximum of 549 in-lb (62 N-m), overcoming the inertia of heavier loads. An assortment of customization is offered such as a thermal protection thermistor, hall sensor feedback, a variety of pulsed output encoders plus an integral brake option.

The SU Series has the versatility, compactness, and exceptional value that are truly unparalleled within our industry. Please contact Nidec-Shimpo to discuss how to improve your design or to better commercialize your AGV to be more competitive in the global market.
