Product catalog summary
Product Portfolio Overview:
Wheel drives are integrated drive units designed for free-moving transport systems such as Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs), as well as rail-based vehicles like shuttles. These drives can be configured for differential steering or combined driving/steering, allowing for omnidirectional movement depending on the application.

Key Features:
  • Available in differential or combined driving/steering configurations.
  • Nominal voltages of 24 VDC or 48 VDC.
  • Options for integrated drive electronics or external motor controllers for two axles.
  • Gearless and geared versions available.
  • Integrated holding or service brakes.
  • Redundant encoder systems for safety.
  • Full digitization via CANopen interface.

Advantages:
  • Scalable system for transport weights from 50 kg to 2,000 kg.
  • Flexible mechanical drive construction for integration into vehicle mechanics.
  • Compact design for space-saving in vehicle chassis.
  • Reduced application expenditure with MTA motor controllers for synchronization.
  • High availability through end-to-end digitization and diagnostics.
  • Customizable design for new AGV/AMR generations.

System Integration:
MTA wheel drives can be seamlessly integrated into existing AGV and AMR control environments using motor controllers for two axles. The Vehicle Core Controller (VCC) facilitates integration into vehicle automation, providing a coordinated system for drive, control, and safety functions. Various interfaces such as CANopen, TCP/IP, and EtherCAT are supported, along with safe and unsafe digital I/Os, analog inputs, and counter inputs.

Areas of Application:
  • Mobile conveyor technology for internal material transport.
  • Driverless free-moving transport systems.
  • Rail-based vehicles.
  • AGVs and AMRs.
  • Transport platforms and shuttle systems for high-bay storage.
  • Pallet transport.

Portfolio Details:
Differential Drives:
  • Nominal voltage: 24 VDC or 48 VDC.
  • Mechanical power: 200 W to 1,170 W.
  • Speed range: 70 rpm to 250 rpm.
  • Wheel diameter: 75 mm to 200 mm.
  • Wheel loads: Up to 500 kg.
  • Optional functional safety versions available.

Combined Driving/Steering Drives:
  • Available in heights of 125 mm, 150 mm, and 175 mm.
  • Nominal voltage: 24 VDC or 48 VDC.
  • Mechanical power: 260 W to 400 W.
  • Speed range: 0.1 m/s to 1.7 m/s.
  • Wheel diameter: 90 mm to 130 mm.
  • Wheel loads: Up to 500 kg.
  • Optional functional safety versions available.

Type Codes:
The document provides detailed type codes for both differential and combined driving/steering drives, specifying parameters such as mechanical power, nominal voltage, output speed, wheel diameter, feedback systems, protection class, wheel load, brake type, safety systems, cable and connector specifications, and customer-specific versions.

Catalog excerpts

PRODUCT PORTFOLIO WHEEL DRIVES-1

Wheel drives are integrated drive units for free-moving transport systems (AGVs and AMRs) and rail-based vehicles (shuttles). Differential drives for steering or combined driving/steering drives are implemented for omnidirectional steering and driving, depending on the application and area of application. Every driving and steering requirement can be implemented with the scalable MTA drive solutions. An end-to-end product portfolio on differential and combined wheel- and steering-drives is available. In combination with the MTA Vehicle Core Controller (VCC), standardised communication interfaces and feedback systems enable effortless integration into vehicle automation. The Vehicle Core Controller (VCC) is a control platform designed for use in AGVs and AMRs, and, for the first time, combines sequence control, control technology and functional safety in one system. This enables the simple integration and control of MTA drives via EtherCAT and FSoE (Safety over EtherCAT). - Differential drives or combined driving/steering drives - Integrated drive electronics versions or external motor controllers for two axles - End-to-end performance spectrum - Gearless differential drives and geared versions - Integrated holding or service brake - Redundant encoder systems - Full digitisation via the CANopen interface
