The friction wheel drive is a drive system in which power is transmitted through friction between two surfaces. Since this technology is a very efficient and reliable solution for moving and handling loads, the friction wheel drive is frequently found in a wide variety of industrial applications. The precise control and flexible adaptation enable use for a wide variety of requirements in modern production environments.
Area of application
Automated movement of handling devices in crane systems (e.g. control via PLC)
Start-up assistance for workers with heavy handling devices (e.g. control for operating handle)
Product advantages
System design & flexibility
Low air consumption with pneumatic drive
Performance & ergonomics
The speed can be flexibly adapted to different operating conditions thanks to the infinitely variable speed control
Infinitely adjustable contact pressure of the friction wheel on the guide rail
Process integration & operational safety
Friction wheel can be pneumatically decoupled separately from the guide rail, so no additional friction when moving the handling device manually
