  • Keyways for Drive Wheels & Custom Specials Wheels
    Wheels: Keyways for Drive wheels & Custom Specials Durable Superior Casters® Drive wheels can be made out of a variety of steel core wheels; most drive wheels have a molded tread (Polyurethane or Rubber) for traction, to grab and drive the desired materials. A Keyway is a machined notch in a wheel bore allowing the wheel to be locked onto a drive shaft using a “key” that slides into correlating notches between the wheel bore and a drive shaft, the shaft is then able turn or drive the wheel. Keyways can be machined into steel wheel bores with sufficient material thickness; sleeves can also be pressed into wheel bores to provide a keyway for smaller shaft sizes and are anchored by the means of set screws. Due to the stress & friction associated with drive wheel application, wheel capacities will be reduced by 50% and tread life of Polyurethane & Rubber will be shorter depending on speed, weight and duration of driving activity. Normal warranties do not apply to any drive wheels other than guaranteeing specification characteristics. Below chart shows guidelines for standard dimensions, actual part numbers may vary according to desired dimensions. Some wheel bores / shaft sizes and keyway configurations may not be available for certain wheel diameters, tread width and materials, please inquire with our customer service or engineering department for details.

  • Influence of In-Wheel Motors on the Ride Comfort of Electric Vehicles
    Influence of in-wheel motors on the ride comfort of electric vehicles R. Vos D&C 2010.041 Master’s thesis Coach(es): dr.ir. I.J.M. Besselink Supervisor: prof.dr. H. Nijmeijer Eindhoven University of Technology Department of Mechanical Engineering Dynamics & Control Eindhoven, July, 2010 Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisors, dr.ir. I.J.M. Besselink and prof.dr. H. Nijmeijer, for giving me the opportunity to work on this interesting subject and for their valuable advice and guidance throughout the project. I am grateful to Erwin Meinders, Paul van Oorschot and Toon van Gils for their aid and assistance during the experiments. Finally, I would like to thank my family, my girlfriend and all my friends for their support and encourage- ment to make this achievement possible. i ii Acknowledgements Abstract This report describes the influence of in-wheel motors on the ride comfort and road holding of electric ve- hicles. To this end, on-road experiments are performed using an ICE vehicle and simulations are performed with a model representing a battery electric vehicle. The experiments and simulations are performed by adding a mass of 15 kg to each individual wheel. This is determined based on the assumption that the ve- hicle has to be equipped with drive motors that have a combined power of 30 kW in order to overcome the road load during normal driving and based on the assumption that a specific motor output of approximately 1 kW/kg can be considered to be an appropriate guideline for permanent magnet brushless dc motors.

  • Overview and Prospects on Distributed Drive Electric Vehicles and Its Energy Saving Strategy
    Hao LIU, Xinbo CHEN, Xinjian WANG Department of Electric Drive System, Clean Energy Vehicle Engineering Centre, Tongji University Overview and Prospects on Distributed Drive Electric Vehicles and Its Energy Saving Strategy Abstract. Significant research has been directed towards developing the electric vehicle (EV) to reduce the energy consumption and exhaust emissions. Focusing on the distributed drive electric vehicles (DDEVs) offering flexible chassis arrangement and brief drive lines, this paper gives an overview about the basic topologies and characteristics. The energy saving strategy to increase driving range is also discussed. Existing problems and prospects for future research on improvements of topologies, optimized torque distribution and drive system efficiency are analysed as well. Streszczenie.

  • Analysis of Wheel Hub Motor Drive Application in Electric Vehicles
    100 MATEC Web of Conferences , 01004 (2017)DOI: 10.1051/matecconf/201 710001004 GCMM 2016 Analysis of Wheel Hub Motor Drive Application in Electric Vehicles Yuechao Sun*, Man Li and Cong Liao Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Department, Lingnan Normal University, Zhanjiang 524048 , China Corresponding Email: [email protected] Abstract. Based on the comparative analysis of the performance characteristics of centralized and distributed drive electric vehicles, we found that the wheel hub motor drive mode of the electric vehicles with distributed drive have compact structure, high utilization ratio of interior vehicle space, lower center of vehicle gravity, good driving stability, easy intelligent control and many other advantages, hence in line with the new requirements for the development of drive performance of electric vehicles, and distributed drive will be the ultimate mode of electric vehicles in the future. Keywords Electric Vehicle, Drive Mode, Wheel Hub Motor, Development Analysis. 1 Foreword Compared with conventional vehicles, electric vehicles have the advantages of high efficiency of energy conversion, low noise, zero emission, etc., and the load-carrying property and wide range speed control characteristics of motors can remove the mechanical devices such as clutch and gearbox, simplifying the structure and facilitating maintenance [1, 2]. Driven by the dual pressures of energy and environment nowadays, the world’s major automobile producing countries are developing electric vehicle industry with unprecedented efforts. Electric vehicles are creating a new pattern of the automobile industry, which will sure lead the main direction of the automobile industry development. As the core component of an electric vehicle, the quality of driving motor has a great influence on the power, economical efficiency and safety of the electric vehicle.

To check a slope, attempt to back up it (with the cutter deck down). If the machine can back up the slope without the wheels slipping, reduce speed and use extreme caution. • Under no circumstances should the machine be operated on slopes greater than 15 degrees. ALWAYS FOLLOW OSHA APPROVED OPERATION. • DO NOT mow on wet grass. Wet grass reduces traction and steering control. • Keep all shields in place, especially the grass discharge chute. • Before performing any maintenance or service, stop the machine and remove the spark plug wire and ignition key. • If a mechanism becomes clogged, stop the engine before cleaning. • Keep hands, feet and clothing away from power-driven parts. • Keep others off the mower (only one person at a time) REMEMBER - YOUR MOWER IS ONLY AS SAFE AS THE OPERATOR! HAZARD control AND accident PREVENTION ARE DEPENDENT UPON THE awareness, concern, prudence, and proper training of the personnel inVolVed in the operation, transport, MAINTENANCE, AND storage OF THE EQUIPMENT.
