Direct drive brushless Wheel Hub Motors
The HEINZMANN RN-EC Series - Simple to install, easy to operate
The RN-EC Series are direct drive, multipole, brushless DC motors with a single-sided wheel hub mounting. As well as the drive components, the motors include integrated drive and control electronics, and an integrated mechanical holding brake if required.
When arranged in pairs, the motors can communicate with each other and with a control device (e.g. joystick) using a CAN bus, providing a means for executing steering movements for the vehicle. Applications include: goods transport systems, flat bed carts, cargo trolleys, etc. The drive systems are also available with either handgrip or remote control options.
Single motors are also used as battery-powered, independent actuators for providing rotational and pivoting motion.
