AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) is the core equipment of intelligent logistics and manufacturing industry. The stability and efficiency of its performance directly affect the operation of the entire system. BLDC brushless DC motor has become the mainstream choice for AGV drive due to its high efficiency, long life and low noise. So, how to choose a suitable BLDC motor for AGV? This article will help you sort out the selection ideas from the core parameters, application requirements and X-TEAM product advantages.
Key parameters for selecting BLDC motors for AGV vehicles
Rated torque and starting torque
AGV needs to overcome the static friction of its own weight and load, so the starting torque is a key parameter.
Rated torque ensures that the AGV has sufficient power when cruising normally
Starting torque ensures smooth starting and climbing ability of the AGV
It is usually recommended to select a motor with a starting torque greater than 1.5~2 times the rated torque to ensure power margin.
Speed range (RPM)
The cruising speed of the AGV is determined by the motor speed. It is necessary to combine the wheel diameter and use the formula to calculate the appropriate speed range:
Speed (m/s) = wheel circumference × speed (r/s)
X-TEAM provides BLDC motors with various speed specifications to meet different needs from slow handling to high-speed shuttle.
Voltage level and power matching
Common AGV voltages are 24V, 36V or 48V
The motor power must meet the load continuous operation and acceleration instantaneous power requirements
Choosing a motor with voltage matching and sufficient power margin can ensure efficiency and life.
Size and installation method
AGV space is limited, the motor size must match the rack design, and the fixing method must be stable and reliable.
Selection based on actual application scenarios
Light-load handling AGV: Torque requirements are low, and low-power high-efficiency motors can be selected to improve endurance and response speed.
Heavy-load and multi-functional AGV: BLDC motors with greater torque and high-temperature resistance design are required to ensure long-term stable operation.
Indoor complex path AGV: High requirements for control accuracy and speed regulation performance, it is recommended to select a motor with Hall sensor or encoder.
