Powertrain for omnidirectional travel

Powertrain with turntable drive and active steering

With a turntable drive with active steering, omnidirectional travel is possible with medium loads.

The steering unit can actively steer against the rotation during sideways travel to maintain the alignment of the vehicle contour.

  • Individual maneuverability
  • Medium payload
  • Space requirement for turntable drive and an additional steering drive
  • Medium precision

Powertrain with double-turntable drive

With a double-turntable drive, omnidirectional travel is possible with high loads.

  • Individual maneuverability
  • High payload
  • Space requirement for turntable drive
  • High precision

Powertrain with multi-turntable drive

A powertrain with quadruple or multi-turntable drive allows for higher loads in comparison.

The number of turntable drives can be configured and is not limited by the software.

Powertrain for double-travel and -steering

With a powertrain for double-travel and -steering, omnidirectional driving is possible with high loads.

  • Individual maneuverability
  • High payload
  • Low space requirements for travel-steering units

Mecanum powertrain

Passive rollers are attached at an angle to the rolling direction of the wheel. The resulting decomposition of forces, in combination with the individual speed and direction control of the omnidirectional wheels, enables holonomic movement in the surface.

  • Unlimited maneuverability
  • Increased wear
  • compact
  • Increased energy consumption
