Wheel Drives are compact, integrated drive units specifically designed for direct installation within the wheel hub. They typically consist of a hydraulic motor (often piston or orbital, to ensure high torque and low speeds) and an integrated planetary gear reducer.
Their robust design and high torque density make them ideal for self-propelled machines that require traction and maneuverability in confined spaces, such as automated guided vehicles (AGVs), service robots, heavy forklifts, and compact earthmoving equipment.
Their integrated design minimizes the space and complexity of the drive system.
