Jerkiness or backlash is not permitted by AGVs because they will move off course and have difficulty handling loads if there are any slight position errors. We manufacture planetary gear reducers specifically designed for the smooth transfer of torque and the ability to fit into very small areas of mobile equipment. We have a factory in Ahmedabad that services the entire state of Gujarat as well as the other industrial regions of India with AGVs.
The planetary gear arrangement allows for a much smaller design while providing very high torque output. The alignment of the sun, planet, and ring gears will be monitored closely during assembly. Since backlash is critical to the accurate movement of an AGV, very tight tolerances will be held throughout the machining process. Heat buildup will also be monitored since the AGVs run 24/7 in warehouses and manufacturing facilities.
Selection of the reduction ratio will be based on the size of the wheel, the weight/capacity of the payload, and the speed at which the AGV will be travelling. Heavily loaded AGVs will have a thicker housing and a higher torque rating than the others. There will not be any random combinations of AGV designs. Confirmation of the compatibility of the AGV motor and the reducer will be done before shipment.
The AGV Planetary Reducer will be tested for noise, smoothness of rotation, and load response. The actual performance of the AGV Planetary Reducer is more important than the information listed in catalogues. For industries located in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, or anywhere else in India we offer responsive, reliable reducer solutions with all necessary support for coordination and timely deliveries.
