AGV & Drive Wheels
Drive and support wheels optimized for traction, precision, and endurance in autonomous mobile robot deployments.
About This Category
Engineered specifically for autonomous mobile robots and automated guided vehicles, our AGV wheel solutions deliver low rolling resistance, high load capacity, and long-term durability in high-cycle warehouse environments. Every design is validated for continuous duty and precision navigation.
Key Features
How to Choose the Right AGV Wheels
Select AGV wheels based on drive wheel type, installation method, load capacity, and application scenario. Our wheels meet all AGV operational standards so you can focus on finding the perfect match.
Load Capacity Calculator
T = (E + Z) / n × S — enter your values to get the required load per wheel
Wheel Type
Identify which wheel types your AGV transport vehicle requires. As shown in the AGV diagram, this vehicle has 4 idler wheels and 2 drive wheels — select according to these two standard configurations.
Drive Wheel
Provides propulsion and steering force. Requires high traction, precise rolling radius, and encoder-compatible hubs.
Idler Wheel
Supports load and maintains stability. Needs low rolling resistance and consistent diameter for smooth travel.
Installation Method
Determine the mounting style required for your AGV wheels. The installation method affects torque transmission, alignment precision, and ease of maintenance.
Keyway Mount
Secure torque transmission via keyed shaft connection. Ideal for high-torque drive applications.
Flange Mount
Bolt-on installation with precise centering. Easier to service and replace in the field.
Load Calculation
To calculate the load capacity required for each idler and drive wheel, you must know the equipment's own weight, maximum payload, and the number of wheels used.
Safety Factor Recommendations
Choose the appropriate safety factor based on operating environment and obstacle conditions:
| Environment | Obstacle Height | Safety Factor (S) |
|---|---|---|
| Indoor, manual push | < 5% of wheel diameter | 1.0 – 1.5 |
| Outdoor, manual push | > 5% of wheel diameter | 1.5 – 2.2 |
| Indoor, motorized drive | < 5% of wheel diameter | 1.4 – 2.0 |
| Outdoor, motorized drive | > 5% of wheel diameter | 2.0 – 3.0 |
An indoor AGV has 4 idler wheels and 2 drive wheels (6 total). The vehicle weighs 100 kg and transports 500 kg of equipment.
(500 + 100) / 6 × 1.5 = 150→ Each wheel must be rated for at least 150 kg.
Application Scenarios
Choose AGV wheels based on your specific industry and operational requirements. AGV applications span industrial manufacturing, warehousing, and service sectors.
Industrial AGV
Heavy-duty wheels for factory floors with high load capacity, chemical resistance, and durability for 24/7 operations.
Warehouse AGV
Low-noise, floor-protecting wheels optimized for long-distance travel on polished concrete with minimal dust generation.
Service AGV
Compact, silent-running wheels for hospitality, healthcare, and retail environments where noise and aesthetics matter.
