Solid-Tire 16-Inch Geared Hub Motor

Solid-tire 16-inch geared hub motor (Brushless BLDC type, with built-in planetary gear reduction mechanism) is a highly suitable component for a robotic chassis. Equipped with solid tires (tubeless design to reduce puncture risk) and off-road treads (enhancing traction and shock absorption), it is particularly well-suited for off-road or uneven terrain, especially complex and rugged natural environments such as deserts, mountains, and swamps. It is ideal for applications like desert reclamation or geological exploration.

Table Parameters

High torque output (maximum torque range extended from 100N.m to 200N.m) combined with low-speed stability (5:1 gear ratio enables efficient deceleration) ensures robust power delivery at low speeds. This makes it particularly suitable for navigating complex terrain, heavy-load inclines, or uneven surfaces, preventing solid-tire 16-inch geared hub motor overheating or stalling.

The integrated disc brake system delivers high-response stopping capability. Available in single-axle or dual-axle configurations, its open dimensions facilitate rapid integration and installation with various robotic chassis frames.

It supports CAN/RS485 communication protocols and seamlessly integrates with mainstream controllers like ROS/STM32, enabling easy implementation of omnidirectional wheels, four-wheel drive, or differential steering configurations. This enhances the robot's navigation accuracy and multi-wheel coordination capabilities.

These optimizations, based on their overall structure and tire configuration (off-road solid tires), perform exceptionally well in complex terrain and heavy-duty applications. Compared to traditional solid tires (typically referring to smooth or general-purpose solid tires) and road tires (often pneumatic smooth-tread tires designed for flat surfaces), they exhibit significant differences:

Solid tires eliminate the risk of punctures or blowouts. Unlike inflatable road tires, they require no regular inflation or maintenance checks, reducing downtime and maintenance costs. The off-road tread further enhances durability, withstanding impacts from rough terrain, gravel, or mud for extended service life. Traditional solid tires or road tires tend to wear out easily in off-road conditions, leading to slippage and reducing work efficiency.

The combination of high-torque motors and solid tires enables the robot chassis to perform better in wet, dusty, or extreme conditions. Compared to pneumatic road tires, it is more environmentally friendly (reducing replacement needs) and provides more stable low-speed output in heavy-duty robots such as AGVs or logistics platforms. while road tires are prone to punctures during off-road operation.

Off-road and agricultural terrain environments: In muddy, gravelly, or uneven farmland, high-torque drive robot chassis advance slowly through loose soil or crop rows to prevent wheel slippage or sinking, enabling heavy-duty machinery like agricultural robots or low-speed vehicles to traverse slopes and soft terrain; Off-road treads provide multidirectional grip for mud and gravel, reducing side slip risks. Solid tires eliminate puncture hazards, making them suitable for extended outdoor operations without frequent maintenance.

Industrial Logistics & Warehouse Heavy-Duty Transport: High torque output supports frequent start-stop operations at low speeds while handling heavy loads (e.g., moving goods over 200kg), preventing stalling on warehouse ramps or thresholds. Off-road treads handle potential uneven surfaces, while solid tires minimize downtime. IP54+ rating primarily addresses industrial dust and occasional liquid splashes, ensuring stable output during high-frequency operations.

Construction sites or mining inspection environments: In dusty, damp, or rugged terrain, high torque enables the robotic chassis to overcome steep inclines and gravel obstacles, achieving autonomous obstacle-crossing inspections without human reliance; Off-road treads feature anti-slip patterns for mining dust and rocks, enhancing stability in vibrating environments. Solid tires emphasize puncture resistance against sharp objects like rebar or slag. IP55+ protection is specifically designed for enclosed or semi-enclosed spaces with high dust and humidity, preventing fine particle ingress that could cause motor failure. This makes them suitable for inspection or exploration tasks in harsh conditions, ensuring continuous operation of the robotic chassis.

Snow or sandy soft terrain environments: For snow patrol or desert exploration vehicles, high torque combined with off-road treads (wide tire design) generates buoyancy and propulsion on low-friction surfaces (snow or desert), preventing wheel sinking or spinning. Solid tires eliminate the risk of bursting in extreme cold or heat associated with pneumatic tires. IP54+ protection provides sealed defense against sandstorms or melting snow/ice corrosion. The overall configuration minimizes maintenance needs in remote areas, making it suitable for patrol or geological exploration robots in frontier regions.
