With unattended operation around the clock, automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) ensure maximum efficiency and reliability in warehouses, distribution centers, and production facilities when transporting goods, packaging, and components. The foundation of these fleets lies in dynamic wheel hub drives that meet the highest requirements for transport speed, positioning accuracy, and service life.

Compact hub gears from Framo Morat provide reliable performance and are designed for different wheel loads. They stand out through the advantageous arrangement of bearings and input/output shafts, ensuring high stability and precision. The gear units are available in the NG250 and NG500 variants, in single- and two-stage versions with polyurethane (PUR) wheels. Customer-specific adaptations, such as brush seals for outdoor applications or belt drives for high-bay warehouses, can be implemented flexibly.

The new NG750 expands the proven hub gear platform and handles radial loads of up to 750 kg per wheel – combining a compact design, long service life, and easy integration into a wide range of vehicle concepts.

Key advantages:

• Compact design by integrating the planetary stage into the wheel

• High radial loads through direct force transmission into the vehicle frame

• Long service life & low noise emissions by separating gearbox and wheel

• Short delivery times & cost efficiency through the platform concept

• Maintenance-friendly design enabling easy wheel replacement

The modular design of the NG250, NG500, and NG750 hub gears provides high flexibility for connecting motors, brakes, and control systems. Various PUR materials and wheel sizes are available for different applications.

Framo Morat has also developed a highly integrated wheel hub drive that combines all functional elements – wheel, precision planetary gear, electric motor, brake, and electronics – in one compact all-in-one solution. The modular and scalable system offers high performance in the smallest installation space and can be customized in terms of load capacity, torque, interfaces, sensors, and control profiles.

Our customers value us as a trusted development partner for innovative drive solutions. Our in-house development team supports every project from design and engineering to series production, ensuring technically and economically compelling results. Over the years, we have developed countless drive systems for a wide range of industries.

One of our most longstanding projects—and one we are particularly proud of—is the highly complex three-axis drive system for curved stairlifts, which we have continuously refined together with TK Home Solutions. Now in its fourth generation and produced by Framo Morat for 25 years, the system meets the highest requirements for compactness and safety, especially in narrow and steep staircases. Thanks to the ultra-compact drive package, stairlift solutions can be adapted to virtually any installation environment.

The drive package includes three key components: the main drive moves the stairlift along the rail, the leveling drive keeps the seat horizontal, and the optional seat swivel drive enables easy maneuvering in tight spaces.

Special features and requirements:

• Exceptionally quiet operation with BLDC motors and gear stages optimized for stringent NVH requirements

• Weight-optimized design using lightweight aluminum housings and plastic components

• Compact structure for navigating narrow staircases and tight curve radii; seamlessly integrates into the living space

• Maximum safety through mechanical safety devices on both main and leveling drives; a patented safety mechanism on the leveling drive provides additional protection

Every development project follows clearly defined stages. You benefit from:

• Extensive experience from numerous customer projects

• Close support from specification to implementation

• Development and production of fully optimized, cost-efficient drive solutions

• Highest quality through in-house manufacturing and assembly

Discover our extensive product portfolio of gears, drive shafts, and gear components made from metal and/or plastic for various industries and applications. You benefit from the advantages of both materials from a single source—from gearing design and material selection to series production.

In addition to geared drive shafts for forklifts, PEEK gears for shredders, and worm gear sets for cranes and lifting devices, we also offer a coupling bell for agricultural technology. This highlights our complete machining process—providing insights into all quality-relevant manufacturing steps, from raw materials to turning, punching, nitrocarburizing, inductive hardening, and final grinding, all conducted in-house.

Are you looking for components that impress with exceptionally low weight while maintaining high durability? Then look forward to our latest innovation: carbon fiber-reinforced hybrid components, developed in collaboration with KIT (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology).

Our Compacta series provides reliable and adaptable drive solutions for a wide range of industrial applications. These plug-in worm gear motors are fully electromechanical drive systems that combine a compact design with high performance in a well-engineered package, making them ideally suited to be customized to your specific requirements.

We present a selection of our standardized compact gear motor units from the Compacta series. These electromechanical complete drives, available in small quantities, offer you short delivery times and attractive pricing.

For larger quantities, extensive customizations to meet your specific requirements are possible, ranging from minor modifications—based on a well-developed modular system—to completely customized new developments. The Compacta drives are now also available in splash-proof versions (IP65).

The Compacta gear motors provide numerous advantages, including:

• Quiet operation
• Optimized weight and compact design
• Durability and high performance
• Easy commissioning
• Various options, such as integrated mechanical switches, built-in safety limit switches, explosion protection according to ATEX 95, or splash protection (IP65).
