Compact torque for smart logistics applications
Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and automated guided vehicles (AGVs) are becoming core elements of modern intralogistics. These platforms must operate reliably around the clock, often in confined spaces, while handling frequent start‑stop cycles and varying loads.
The DualGear drive system has been developed specifically to address these requirements in smart logistics applications.
DualGear combines a compact electric drive with a dual-stage planetary gearbox in a single, space‑efficient unit. By distributing mechanical loads across multiple gear stages, the system supports stable torque transmission and consistent performance under continuous operation. This makes it well suited for wheel drives, conveyor modules, lifting mechanisms and handling axes used in AMR and AGV platforms.
In mobile robot applications, installation space and energy efficiency are critical design constraints. The compact design of DualGear supports tight integration into wheel modules and chassis assemblies, while controlled torque characteristics help support predictable motion and positioning. This is particularly important for autonomous navigation, docking, load transfer and material handling tasks commonly found in warehouse and factory environments.
DualGear is intended for use in logistics systems where availability, repeatability and robustness are essential. Typical application areas include autonomous transport vehicles, shuttle systems, sorting equipment and automated storage and retrieval solutions.
