Traction & Caster Wheels for AGVs and AMRs
Engineered for Precise Movement, Maximum Reliability, and Long Service Life
Learn how customized traction and caster wheel solutions help AGVs and AMRs achieve reliable motion control, energy-efficient operation, and long-term durability.
Freudenberg Sealing Technologies designs and manufactures customized polyurethane traction and caster wheels for Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs). Every wheel is engineered around specific application requirements, including load profiles, floor conditions, and environmental influences. Supported by decades of polyurethane expertise, simulation-driven development, and extensive testing, our solutions deliver reliable performance in both indoor and outdoor applications.
The Challenge: Reliable Mobility Starts at the Wheel
AGVs and AMRs depend on their wheels to deliver precise movement, efficient operation, and long service life. Factors such as floor conditions, load requirements, environmental exposure, and system design can all impact wheel performance.
Selecting the right wheel solution helps improve operational reliability, reduce wear, and support consistent vehicle performance throughout its service life.
Common design considerations include:
- Traction and grip
- Rolling resistance
- Energy efficiency
- Load capacity
- Wear resistance
- Vibration damping
- Indoor and outdoor operation
- Long service life
Why Traction & Caster Wheels?
Designed for Efficient and Reliable Vehicle Movement
Traction wheels and caster wheels each play a critical role in vehicle performance.
Traction Wheels
- Precise torque transfer for accurate motion control
- Excellent traction across industrial floor types
- Vibration damping for smooth operation
- High wear resistance and durability
Caster Wheels
- 360-degree maneuverability
- Low rolling resistance
- Improved energy efficiency
- Reliable long-term performance
Together, these wheel solutions help AGVs and AMRs operate efficiently while supporting accurate navigation, reduced maintenance requirements, and long service life.
