IDEC ez-Wheel SWD Safety Wheel Drive

IDEC ez-Wheel® SWD® Safety Wheel Drive

IDEC’s ez-Wheel® SWD® Safety Wheel Drive is designed to revolutionize the way powered motion is integrated into industrial mobile platforms. This all-in-one solution combines a wheel, gearbox, motor, safety encoder, and safety drive into a single, compact, and maintenance-free unit, making it the ideal choice for automated guided vehicles (AGVs), autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), and other mobile platforms. The SWD® reduces component count by up to 50%, eliminating the need for separate wheels, gearboxes, motors, encoders, and controllers. This streamlined design cuts engineering time, simplifies certification, and lowers installation costs.

FEATURES:

  • Available in two models: the SWD® 125 for light/medium-duty applications (up to 250kg vertical load) and the SWD® 150 for heavy-duty applications (up to 700kg vertical load).
  • Ensures compliance with ISO 3691-4 standards for AGV/AMR safety, offering Safe Brake Control (SBC), Safely Limited Speed (SLS), Safe Direction (SDI), and SIL3/PLe safe motor disconnection (STO).
