In automotive production and AGV parking applications, differential wheel AGVs offer precise positioning and flexible movement. Though steering wheels are becoming common in complex tasks, differential wheels remain cost-effective for simpler, lower-precision needs—e.g., an 85 mm wheel unit can carry over 800 kg.

Introduction:
Our AGV differential wheel unit adopts an integrated advanced design to achieve flexible steering and precise control, which is very suitable for complex industrial environments.
1. The wheel diameter size range covers: 85mm, 120, 150, 180, 220, 250, 270, 300mm series, and the differential wheel can carry up to 5 tons.
2. Equipped with permanent magnet servo motor, 24V, 48V, 72V, 80V, 96V are available. The motor is equipped with incremental or absolute encoder.
3. Different reduction ratios can be selected, and the speed of the differential wheel unit can reach up to 3m/s.
4. Equipped with servo drives developed by Jiangsu Yikong, PSL, PSM, PSH and other models.
5. Shock-absorbing springs are optional to ensure better operability and stability when running on slopes.
Applications：
Semiconductor environments benefit from differential wheel AGVs for their maneuverability and positioning accuracy, with a 15% cost advantage over steering wheels while maintaining similar load capacity and simpler system complexity.
For loads above 5 tons, differential wheel modules offer high safety, compact turning, and precise motion control. They support omnidirectional movement and accurate lifting, making them ideal for space-constrained, heavy-load transport scenarios.
Differential wheel AGVs are widely used in e-commerce and retail warehousing due to their suitability for high-density storage and fast picking environments. For example, Amazon’s KIVA robots operate at speeds over 1.5–2 m/s, offering efficiency in clean, structured settings.
