WHEELTEC MD60 Planetary Gear Motor

The WHEELTEC MD60 Planetary Gear Motor is a heavy-duty, high-power drive solution designed specifically for large-scale mobile robot chassis. Featuring a robust 100W brushed DC motor and high-precision encoder, it is ideal for researchers, educators, and industrial developers building autonomous ground vehicles. This module provides the reliability and torque required for demanding robotic applications.

Versatile wheel assembly options

The MD60 motor supports multiple wheel configurations to suit different terrain requirements. Options include a 152mm stainless steel Mecanum wheel for omnidirectional movement or an 8-inch pneumatic tyre for rugged outdoor applications.

Robust structural integration

Designed for large mobile robot chassis, this module features a CNC-machined integrated bearing block with high coaxiality and a stainless steel motor shaft. It includes pre-drilled mounting holes that allow direct installation onto standard 2060 and 3060 series European standard aluminium profiles.

High-performance electrical specifications

Operating at a recommended 24V with a safe range of 21V to 28V, this 100W brushed DC motor delivers reliable power with a stall current of 22A. It features a 500-line high-precision GMR encoder to provide accurate feedback for precise speed and position control.

Dual-bearing output protection

The integrated bracket uses a dual-bearing output design to isolate the motor shaft from external radial and axial forces. By ensuring the motor shaft only transmits rotational drive, this setup significantly extends motor service life and improves overall system reliability.

Tailored planetary reduction options

Choose between two planetary gear ratio variants to match your torque and speed requirements. The MD60 P18 variant offers a rated speed of 175RPM with 55.7kg.cm of torque, while the MD60 P47 variant provides a high-torque output of 145.4kg.cm at 67RPM.
