The Ketterer i-Wheel 3213 wheel hub drives have been specially developed for use in Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV). They are designed as direct drives that are completely integrated in the hub and therefore need neither an additional gearbox nor an extra wheel.
An extremely flat design combined with a high power density allows an application with very tight installation spaces. The compact all-in-one solution not only impresses due to its benefits in terms of space requirements but also thanks to the fact it is maintenance-free and has a service life many times longer than systems equipped with a gearbox.
The i-Wheel 3213 series consists of three high-performance wheel hub drives, which can reach torques up to 34 Nm and speeds up to 27 km/h.
In terms of its efficiency and individual scalability, the family of drives offers an optimal modular solution for electric transportation vehicles.
We would be pleased to develop a solution for you that is specially tailored to your drive task! Motor layout, flange geometry, the type of brake and the encoder can be implemented in line with your requirements.
