Servo wheel

Latest and greatest offerings in the engineering marketplace

By Design News Staff -- Design News, August 3, 1998

Clean room-compatible servo wheel is a complete gearmotor system built into the hub of a wheel, and powers small electric vehicles including automated guided vehicles and material handling equipment. The wheel is safe in explosive environments and has no internal sparking. This sealed unit makes it operational in hostile or wet environments, with clean room compatibility to class 100. The entire package is built into the hub of the wheel to provide high radial shock-load capacity with no brushes to wear out and replace.
