Driverless Transport Systems

Whether in the automotive industry, e-commerce or the food industry, automated guided vehicles 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.

ARA Clutch & Brake Systems shaft couplings, electromagnetic brakes and spring-actuated safety brakes offer the precision, safety and durability required by modern AGV solutions. They support controlled movement, reliable stopping and safe holding functions in compact vehicle architectures and continuous-duty logistics environments.

Couplings in Driverless Transport Systems

  • Backlash-free torque transmission for precise control of drive units and exact positioning when stopping and docking
  • Alignment error compensation for axial, radial and angular deviations in compact designs
  • Vibration and shock absorption to protect motor and transmission components against load peaks
  • Reliable performance for continuous operation in smart-factory logistics environments

Brakes in Driverless Transport Systems

  • Holding brakes for stable fixation of vehicles, including on inclines or ramps
  • Safe emergency-stop functionality to protect people, equipment and transported goods
  • Controlled braking for fast and precise deceleration at exact stopping positions
  • Reliable safety functions for automated conveyor chains and mobile transport units

Typical Applications

  • Automated guided vehicles
  • Autonomous mobile robots
  • Warehouse logistics systems
  • Docking and positioning stations
  • Conveyor-linked transport systems
  • Smart-factory material handling
