AGV & Mobile Robots Applications
JVL DC-powered servo and stepper motors are purpose-built for battery-operated AGVs, AMRs, and mobile platforms — delivering high torque from 12-48V supplies.
Industry Challenges
Battery Efficiency
Mobile robots run on limited battery capacity. Motor efficiency directly impacts runtime and fleet uptime.
Wheel Drive Integration
Compact wheel-hub or gearmotor assemblies need high torque density with minimal mechanical complexity.
Precision Steering
Differential and omnidirectional steering demand accurate speed and position control on each wheel.
Fleet Communication
Dozens of AGVs on one network require reliable Industrial Ethernet with daisy-chain topology to minimize cabling.

Why JVL for AGV & Mobile Robots?
True DC Supply
MAC DC servos operate directly from 12-48V battery packs — no AC inverter needed, maximizing energy efficiency.
Built-in Brake Option
Integrated electromagnetic brake holds position on slopes and during e-stop without external hardware.
Daisy-Chain Ethernet
Built-in 2-port switch enables ring or line topology, reducing cable runs across the vehicle.
Compact All-in-One
Motor + drive + controller in one housing reduces vehicle weight and simplifies mechanical design.
Winning Applications
Automated guided vehicles and mobile robots for material handling and warehouse management. Motors for forward motion (traction drives), steering, and material handling axes (lift, convey, divert, clamp, rotate). Integrated Servo motors provide peak torque and high speed for traction drive and steering axes.
USVery limited space for motion components inside the robot. Elimination of separate drives and bulky cables saves space.
