AGV Drive Wheel And Travel Wheel Replacement

Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) rely on high-performance drive and travel wheels to ensure smooth, efficient, and accurate movement. As AGVs operate continuously in high-demand environments, such as smart warehouses and cleanrooms, their wheels face constant mechanical stress. Our AGV drive wheels and travel wheel replacements are engineered for superior durability, maximum load capacity, and excellent grip—especially when upgraded with VULKOLLAN® material for unmatched performance.

What is an AGV drive or travel wheel?

AGV drive wheels are central to propulsion and direction control. Travel wheels may also serve as load-bearing or guiding wheels, depending on the AGV’s chassis design. Over time, these wheels wear due to friction, heavy loads, or floor contaminants, requiring timely replacement to maintain operational accuracy and reduce vibration, noise, and floor damage.

Why choose VULKOLLAN® wheels?

VULKOLLAN®, a high-performance polyurethane elastomer, offers significant advantages over standard PU or rubber:

Superior dynamic load-bearing capacity

Outstanding rebound elasticity and low rolling resistance

Excellent abrasion resistance and longevity

Stable performance in a wide temperature range

When used in agv applications, VULKOLLAN® wheels ensure higher energy efficiency, precise control, and extended service life—making them ideal for critical operations.
