Nano-Wheel Technology
|
|
A revolution in motor technology from PML Flightlink! The first in a range of small wheel motor products is launched by PML Flightlink Ltd UK. The Nano-Wheel is capable of a powerful 2Nm of torque, which when paired; the single stack motor has enough Torque to power a fully loaded suitcase up a steep incline at a fast walking pace.
|
The Nano-Wheel has two control options each designed to offer different performance advantages to reflect each customer’s application. The most advanced of these options is Full Torque Control. In this mode the internal drive electronics respond to a variable input from a ‘Force Sensor’. As the load applied to the force sensor is increased, for example when ascending a gradient, the electronics respond by increasing the torque available to the motor which thereby reduces the work effort required from the user.
|
The range is fully expandable to suit applications with higher torque requirements. The lamination stack and outer tyre/spoke detail can be customised to produce a wheel with characteristics to suit customers design needs. The Nano-Wheel's internal drive electronics are protected against environmental conditions by a layer of potting compound. This non-conductive material completely seals the sensitive electronics from the ingress of water and dust.
|
The Nano-Wheel range also boast minimal wearing parts, brushless technology means no Brushes to wear out, no arcing, no noisy gearbox components, just one centrally mounted bearing.
|
Originally designed for a powered suitcase application, the 12V unit is ideally suited to run from batteries and can mobilize a multitude of existing products, opening up numerous new market opportunities for the sharp eyed entrepreneur.
