Footmaster AGV/AMR Castors
Footmaster AGV/AMR Castors are a range of castors specifically designed for the rigours of Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV) and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR).These castor ranges are made to solve specific problems. These include, excessive swing, large turning circles and loss of contact with the floor. Each of these are... detrimental to the the performance of AGV and AMR equipment.
Manually propelled transport equipment such as trolleys and carts operate intermittently and usually at walking pace. AGV and AMR equipment can often run continuously 24/7 and at faster speeds. Because of the extra work the castors have to do, standard castors are not up to the job.
Footmaster AGV/AMR castors are designed specifically for the demands of AGV/AMR equipment will decrease costs and increase productivity by reducing the downtime caused by castor failure.

150mm AGV Swivel Castor, Twin Wheel, 630kg Load | Polyurethane Wheel, Ball bearing (GAAD150ASFHUD)
£749.27This Twin wheel ... Read More150mm Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) Castor has a bracket made from strong Forged steel that is zinc plated. There is a hardened Taper Roller Bearing in he swivel head, which has a grease nipple, for smooth swivelling action and durability.The castor is unique because it has a self-aligned function enabled by two swivelling axes each with different swivelling radii so that the castor's offset can automatically alter when changing direction to optimise the castor's turning circle for the AGV. Specifically, the offset can range from 15mm to 35mm which reduces the castors 'swing' enabling it to better follow the designated path.The Top Plate is 145mm x 145mm and has 4 bolt holes that are spaced 120mm x 120mm, each with a 11mm hole diameter,This castor frame has two wheels with a Polyurethane tyre (Shore A 95) on an Aluminium centre each containing ball bearings, The polyurethane wheel has excellent elasticity the minimises slipping that can happen when an AGV starts or stops. In addition, the elasticity also absorbs small shocks arising from small imperfections in the floor. The wheel itself is non marking and will not damage the floor.
