GAM just lately soft-launched its new GML Collection Wheel Drive that makes use of planetary gearing for a coaxial system. The motor is positioned instantly behind the wheel with out axle offset, which GAM stated ends in a cylindrical construction from the wheel to the motor.
In response to GAM, the brand new GML Collection Wheel Drive can be utilized as a direct drive or as a differential drive and will be mixed with a steering drive to kind a drive-steer unit. GAM stated among the advantages of the drive embrace:
- Compact design with very quick general size
- Motor mount personalized to your motor, no further coupling wanted
- Straight mount the wheel to the gearbox output flange
- Built-in wheel bearing for prime hundreds
- Very excessive effectivity
- 3 body sizes accessible
- Absolutely sealed and maintenance-free
- Optionally available wheel accessible
There are a selection of chassis ideas utilized in automated guided autos (AGVs) and autonomous cellular robots (AMRs). For an AGV, the alignment of the automobile body is fastened by the chassis. This results in elevated house necessities when cornering. For an AMR, the orientation of the automobile body will be set independently of the automobile place. The required motion will be achieved utilizing completely different mixtures of journey, steering, and mixture steering/journey wheel drives in addition to non-driven wheels used for load assist.
In response to GAM, the brand new GML collection coaxial wheel hub gearbox can be utilized within the following configurations: tricycle, differential drive and 4 drives with mecanum wheels. GAM stated the GML collection coaxial wheel hub gearbox might be totally launched later in 2023.
With its engineering and manufacturing flexibility, GAM can collaborate with robotics builders on the suitable product for its utility — from its normal GML and OPG gearboxes to customized options for particular purposes. GAM is a U.S.-owned manufacturing firm that’s been in enterprise for greater than 30 years. Its product vary of robotic and servo gear reducers, rack and pinion, linear mounts, servo couplings, and different specialised mechanical drive options is among the largest within the business.
