Description

WDS Horizontal Steering Wheel for AGV and AMR Automation Systems

SHENLI develops advanced motion control components for automated material handling equipment. The WDS horizontal steering wheel integrates driving and steering functions into a compact AGV drive steering module, providing efficient movement control for autonomous vehicles.

Designed for AGV manufacturers, AMR system integrators, warehouse automation companies, and industrial mobile platform builders, this integrated steering wheel solution delivers precise navigation, high load capacity, and flexible multi-directional movement.

By combining a steering actuator, drive motor, and high-traction wheel system in one compact structure, the WDS module helps equipment manufacturers optimize chassis design while improving overall motion performance.

Compact Drive and Steering Integration for Space-Limited AGVs

The WDS horizontal steering wheel adopts a horizontal coaxial or offset structure that combines traction and steering mechanisms into a single assembly.

This compact design reduces vertical installation requirements and creates additional internal space for batteries, control systems, and payload areas. As a result, it is ideal for low-profile AGVs, autonomous forklifts, and mobile robotic platforms that require efficient space utilization.

High-Torque Motion Control and Precise Navigation

Equipped with servo motor drive options, the WDS steering module supports smooth acceleration, fast direction changes, and accurate trajectory control.

The optimized motion system reduces vibration during operation and maintains stable movement when AGVs navigate narrow aisles, sharp turns, and complex factory environments.

This reliable performance makes the module suitable for applications that require continuous material transportation and precise positioning.

Heavy-Duty Mechanical Structure for Industrial Operation

SHENLI manufactures the WDS steering wheel using high-strength alloy steel components and precision CNC machining processes.

The reinforced housing structure withstands mechanical impact, torsional stress, and continuous industrial workloads. Integrated precision bearings distribute radial and axial forces evenly, supporting stable operation in high-frequency warehouse and manufacturing environments.

High-Traction Polyurethane Wheel for Reliable Floor Contact

The WDS module uses an industrial polyurethane wheel designed for demanding factory conditions.

The polyurethane tread provides low rolling resistance, excellent wear resistance, oil resistance, and non-marking performance. It maintains reliable traction on epoxy floors, smooth concrete surfaces, and slightly uneven industrial ground.

This wheel design helps AGVs achieve stable movement, controlled braking, and reduced floor damage during daily operation.
