With the rapid development of smart warehousing and automated logistics, AGV and AMR pallet transport robots have become essential for modern warehouse operations. These robots are designed to transport loaded pallets between storage racks, sorting areas, production lines, and dispatch stations, improving material handling efficiency while reducing manual labor.
In densely arranged warehouse environments, pallet transport robots must perform frequent starts and stops, precise turns, and accurate docking within limited spaces. Their drive systems need to deliver high torque at low speeds while maintaining smooth movement and responsive control.
For heavy-duty pallet handling, motor performance becomes even more important. The drive motor must support heavy loads, repeated acceleration and deceleration, and long operating hours without compromising reliability.
To meet these requirements, BG Motor recommends the BG130BLDC 2.5KW High-Torque Worm Geared Motor, designed for demanding AGV trolley and industrial material handling applications.
The warehouse pallet transport robot required a powerful and reliable drive system capable of handling heavy loads and frequent operating cycles.
The main challenges included:
Heavy Load Capacity: Sufficient output torque was required to drive fully loaded pallet transport robots smoothly.
Frequent Start-Stop Cycles: The motor needed responsive acceleration and deceleration performance during repetitive warehouse operations.
Low-Speed Stability: Consistent low-speed output was essential for controlled movement and accurate docking.
Continuous Operation: Long working hours required reliable thermal performance and mechanical durability.
Safe Load Holding: The drive system needed to minimize unwanted reverse movement when the robot stopped or remained stationary.
BG Motor selected the BG130BLDC high-torque worm geared motor as the main drive power unit for the pallet transport robot.
With a 130 mm motor platform, high-power output, and worm gearbox configuration, this motor provides a suitable foundation for heavy-duty warehouse automation.
1. High-Torque Output for Heavy Pallet Transport
Rated power: 2.5 kW (product headline specification).
Rated torque range: 100–300 N·m.
Designed for demanding material handling and heavy-load drive applications.
Supports smooth movement under substantial mechanical loads when correctly matched with the drive wheel and transmission system.
2. Flexible Speed and Voltage Configuration
Rated speed range: 30–400 RPM.
