SPN traction-steering drive eco-line

GOOD TO KNOW

This patented traction drive was developed to be more compact, more powerful and even more economical. Thanks to our expertise and based on our many years of experience in the field of worm, helical and bevel gearboxes, we were able to realise this solution in a very short time.

Your advantages

omnidirectional driving
closed drive system
very compact installation space
high efficiency
various motors can be connected (also power-dependent)
no enveloping circle
wheel endlessly freely rotatable
low wheel wear due to optimised gear ratio
no cable wear
lightweight aluminium construction

Detailed information on our self-developed SPN eco-line power steering drive.

Drive-steer drive

[Translate to EN:] Fahr-Lenk-Antrieb für fahrerlose Transportsysteme

GOOD TO KNOW: The steering/travel drive combines two drives in one complete system. The motor for the driving axle can be controlled independently of the steering axle.

When a steering movement occurs, the travel movement is mechanically compensated by the steering movement.

This drive is particularly suitable for an area-moving travel profile. Your advantages

Compact travel/steering unit
Travel drive with an optimally combined gear train
Steering drive with a self-locking gear combination for energy-saving regulation
360° endlessly swiveling drive wheel for precisely positioned maneuvering movements
during the steering movement the travel movement is compensated mechanically
brake arrangement for the travel drive optimized in terms of size and installation space
travel speeds up to 10 km/h
drive loads up to 1.25 t
Maintenance-free for up to 20,000 hours

Coaxial wheel hub drive

[Translate to EN:] Koaxialer Radnabenantrieb für FTS

GOOD TO KNOW: A planetary gear is used for the coaxial wheel hub drive.

The motor is located directly behind the wheel without axle offset. This results in a cylindrical structure from the wheel to the motor.

This drive can be used as a direct drive or as a differential drive and can be combined with a steering drive to form a drive-steer unit. Your advantages

compact design with very short overall length
direct motor mounting
wheel can be mounted directly
integrated wheel bearing for high loads
very high efficiency
maintenance-free

Axle-shifted wheel hub drive

[Translate to EN:] Achsversetzter Radnabenantrieb für FTS

GOOD TO KNOW: The axle offset between the wheel and the motor is realized with a spur gear.

The design has particular advantages for very narrow track gauges, where motors with a coaxial drive would be too close together.

The axle offset makes the wheel axle freely accessible on the rear shaft end.

This makes it possible to mount an encoder or a brake, directly on the wheel axle, without a gear stage.

Your advantages

compact design
low torsional backlash
precise controllability of the motors (at high speeds and with narrow track widths)
high efficiency
noise optimized
loads up to 1 ton
offset between input & output for opposite motor arrangement

Shuttle drives for warehouse logistics

Traction drive for shuttle

[Translate to EN:] Shuttle-Fahrantrieb für FTS

GOOD TO KNOW: A pair of wheels offset by 90° is driven by a motor.

One wheel moves the shuttle in the longitudinal direction, a second wheel in the transverse direction. Your advantages

2x wheel offsets by 90 degrees for direction changes
arrangement of the motor by 90 degrees
direct mounting possibility
universal motor attachment / tangential clamping
can be used for two different shuttle sizes

Lift drive for shuttle

[Translate to EN:] Shuttle-Liftantrieb für FTS

GOOD TO KNOW: To bring the wheels on the rails into engagement, the lift gear lowers or raises the position of the shuttle on the respective rail. Your advantages
