Wheels for AGVs and AGV systems (automated guided vehicles) play a central role in automated logistics and production processes. They ensure precise movement sequences, high repeat accuracy and trouble-free operation in sensitive applications.
Compared with classic industrial wheels, AGV wheels must meet particularly tight tolerances and be precisely matched to the requirements of navigation and sensor systems. Even the slightest deviations can affect tracking or positioning.
Our range includes high-quality drive wheels, load wheels and guide rollers for AGV and AGV systems. These are used, among other things, in autonomous transport robots, shuttle systems and modern warehouse solutions.
Depending on the application, various materials are available:
Polyurethane (PU) for high load capacity and long service life
Vulkollan® for extreme loads and maximum dynamics
Polyamide (PA6 / PA6G) for low rolling resistance
Elastic rubber for low-vibration and low-noise running
Our AGV and AGV wheels are characterised by:
high dimensional accuracy and concentricity precision
optimal grip for reliable drive transmission
low tolerances for exact tracking
high wear resistance in continuous operation
reliable performance in automated systems
Whether standard solution or custom-made production – at castors-direct you will find precisely manufactured wheels for AGVs and AGV systems, perfectly matched to modern intralogistics.
Frequently asked questions
What makes wheels for AGVs and AGV systems special?
They are designed for automated internal transport and offer precise running characteristics with low tolerances. This is crucial for the exact control of automated vehicles.
What matters when making the selection?
Important factors are smooth running, tread material, floor compatibility and the suitable connection to the drive or chassis. The wheels should be matched to the respective transport system.
Which tread materials are used?
Polyurethane or Vulkollan® are often used because they combine good grip, smooth running and long service life. The material choice depends on load, floor and operating profile.
