Electrocraft expands MobilePower wheel drive family with a 500 lb upgrade
The MPW Wheel Drive features a high torque-density brushless DC motor with a heavy duty integrated planetary gearbox mounted inside the hub of a lightweight aluminum wheel with custom tread. Designed for mobile robot applications, the MPW combines optimum performance with high-efficiency, quiet operation and long life.
Electrocraft MobilePower MPW series wheel drives feature an integrated design that provides increased performance and reliability compared to traditional motor/gearbox/wheel combinations. Most impressive is the small, lightweight form factor of the wheel drive assembly, while producing industry leading performance. “The result of the integrated design of the MPW is in the overall efficiency and performance of the robotic application”, notes Scott Rohlfs, director of product marketing at Electrocraft.
