HL254 Vertical Drive Wheel

HL254 Vertical Drive Wheel combines a 2.5kW AC motor (7.1Nm torque) with 0.75kW servo steering (360° rotation) through 24.1:1 and 200:1 reduction ratios. Its φ254x100mm wheels deliver 110m/min speed and 1560kg capacity for heavy-duty AGVs and automated material handling systems, with optional non-suspension frames.

Advantages & Benefits of HL254 Vertical Drive Wheel

From those features, here are the practical advantages you (as system integrator or designer) can expect when using the HL254 Vertical Drive Wheel:

  • Optimised for space & chassis design
    Because it is a vertical-drive design, you can mount it beneath or within a lower deck of your mobile robot/AGV without needing large horizontal clearance. That can improve overall vehicle design, lower profile, easier under-body installation.

  • High torque and load capacity for heavier payloads
    With the vertical design and integrated gearbox, you get a drive wheel that can handle relatively large loads and high traction, which is beneficial for material handling platforms with heavy payloads or high inertia (e.g., pallet movers, heavy AGVs).

  • Durable tyre material and integrated wheel unit
    Polyurethane or rubber tyres provide good grip and durability (resistant to wear, lower noise, shock absorption). The integrated unit reduces the number of separate components, simplifying procurement, mounting and maintenance.

  • Streamlined integration / lower parts count
    Since motor + gearbox + wheel come as a single drive wheel unit, your system design becomes simpler — you don’t need separate motor, coupling, gearbox, mounting bracket. This can reduce engineering time and risk of misalignment.

  • Reduced chassis height / improved clearance
    With vertical mounting you free up lateral space, enabling tighter packaging or lower floor height on your mobile platform, which can be critical in height-limited environments (under racks, conveyors, etc).

  • Customisable performance to match your application
    The fact that the series allows optional gear ratios, motor types, etc means you can tailor the wheel’s speed/torque trade-off to your required payload, floor conditions, travel speed, and duty cycle.

  • Better structural robustness
    The integrated construction (motor + gearbox + wheel) often means fewer alignment issues, fewer coupling failures, and generally better system reliability. When designed for AGVs, these units often undergo rigorous testing and life-cycle design.

  • Potential for vibration / noise reduction
    In vertical drive wheels (especially those with bevel gear transmissions) the compact design and efficient load path can reduce noise and vibration compared with older belt/chain-driven setups.
