Driverless Transport Systems

Whether in the automotive industry, e-commerce, or the food industry, AGVs have become an indispensable part of the smart factory. To ensure that these highly dynamic and precise systems function reliably, powerful drive technology is essential.

Powerful drive technology is essential to ensure that these highly dynamic and precise systems function reliably. This is where Miki Pulley comes in: Miki Pulley couplings and brakes offer the precision, safety, and durability required by modern AGV solutions.

Miki Pulley – your partner for precision, safety, and efficiency in drive technology for automated guided vehicles.

Couplings in driverless transport systems

Couplings perform crucial functions in the drive train of AGVs:

  • Backlash-free torque transmission: For precise control of the drive units and exact positioning when stopping and docking.
  • Alignment error compensation: Compensation of axial, radial, and angular deviations in compact designs—an important factor for reliability in continuous operation.
  • Vibration and shock absorption: Protection of motor and transmission components against vibrations and load peaks, extending the service life of the vehicles.

Miki Pulley offers a versatile portfolio of couplings that are specially tailored to the requirements of compact, dynamic AGV applications.

Brakes in driverless transport systems

Brakes ensure safety and controlled movement in AGVs:

  • Holding brakes for drives: Stable fixation of vehicles even on inclines or ramps.
  • Safe emergency stop function: Protection for people, equipment, and cargo in the event of unexpected obstacles or system errors.
  • Controlled braking: Fast and precise deceleration for exact stopping positions in the conveyor chain.

Miki Pulley brakes are compact, low-maintenance, and reliable—ideal for continuous use in intralogistics.
