Motor Drive Units and Wheel Drive Units

Motor Drive Units and Wheel Drive Units are offered to applications requiring both a gearbox and brake in combination with a servomotor. The Motor Drive Units are configured and optimized for each customer application. For unique requirements, cusomtized solutions can be configured and developed.

For AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robot) and AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicle), Simplex Motion offer Wheel Drive Units. The standard planetary gearbox is replaced by a wheel hub with an integrated planetary gearbox.

Motor Drive Units 040, 100 and 200

Combine any of the motors below with a brake, a gearbox or both gearbox and brake. The brake can preferable be controlled directly from the motors I/O.

Motor;
SE040
SA100
SH100
SH200

Gearbox;
Planetary PL40 or PL60
Ratio from 2-32:1

Brake;
Spring actuated brake BXW
Holding and braking use
Static friction torque 0,5-4Nm
Power supply 24VDC

MDU	040	100	200
Ratio	2–32	3–32	3–16
Brake torque	0.5–1Nm	0.5–2Nm	1–4Nm

Wheel Drive Units 040, 100 and 200

Combine any of the motors below with only a wheel unit or wheel unit and a brake. The brake is preferable controlled directly from the motors I/O. Typical applications are AMRs and AGVs or applications with high radial loads on gearbox output shaft.

Motor;
SE040
SA100
SH100
SH200

Wheel unit with integrated planetary gear;
AD: flange in frontend
AD 47 and AD 64
AD 90 and AD 110 (for heavy loads)
PAD: flange in backend
PAD 47 and PAD 64
PAD 90 or PAD 110 (for heavy loads)
Ratio from 3-100:1
For low speed applications with higher ratio than 25:1 (16:1 for SH200), the max torque in the motor must be limited.

Brake;
Spring actuated brake BXW
Holding and braking use
Static friction torque 0,5-4Nm
Power supply 24VDC

WDU	040	100	200
Ratio	3–25	3–25	3–16
Brake torque	0.5–1Nm	0.5–2Nm	1–4Nm
