The MoboDrive ST is a reliable, application-proven steered-traction system designed for high maneuverability and robust load handling. It integrates steering with endless rotation, traction, motor control, and safety encoders into one compact unit, streamlining installation and simplifying maintenance for system integrators and OEMs. Our MoboDrive ST unit is a well-engineered assembly of a steering actuator with endless rotation, high-torque traction unit, safe redundant encoder systems and robust motor control electronics.                                                                      

1. Key Highlights:

• Compact and highly integrated design for streamlined integration

• Steering actuator with endless rotation, powered by an internal slip ring system

• High steering torque (up to 250 Nm) for responsive directional control

• Turning diameter only 268 mm, ideal for confined or dynamic spaces

• Integrated motor control electronics with multiple fieldbus options: CAN, EtherCAT, ProfiNET

• Redundant encoder systems for safety and precision

• Radial load capacity of 1000 kg, supporting demanding industrial payloads

  2.  Applications:

MoboDrive ST has been successfully deployed in:

• Intralogistics and warehouse AMRs

• Mobile platforms in manufacturing and assembly

• Heavy-load transport systems

• Medical and pharmaceutical distribution

• Security and surveillance robotics

 MoboDrive ST can be integrated into robots across diverse industries such as manufacturing, intralogistics, agriculture, security and surveillance, last mile mobility and logistics, heavy load transportation, pharma and healthcare.

Main customer/user benefits:

• Ultra-compact, fully integrated design - steering, traction, motor control, slip ring, and safety encoders all in one protected unit.

• One-piece, beautifully engineered construction - no exposed parts, no external wiring, and fewer components that can be damaged.

• Endless 360° steering rotation - integrated slip ring prevents cable twisting and increases long-term reliability.

• High load capacity and high torque - supports heavy-load transportation while maintaining smooth, precise maneuverability.

• Minimal risk of damage - enclosed architecture shields all critical components from dust, impacts, and harsh environments.

• Exceptionally compact turning diameter (268 mm) - enables highly agile, space-efficient, omnidirectional AMRs.

• Fast development, lower integration effort-  a plug-and-play module that replaces multiple systems and shortens engineering time.

• Industrial-grade safety - redundant encoder systems and integrated safety supervision reduce risk and simplify certification.

• Flexible field-bus compatibility - CAN, EtherCAT, and ProfiNET allow easy integration into any mobile robot control system.

• Customizable to your application - the module and AMR concept can be adapted to the exact specification and performance the client needs.

Designed to meet the challenges of real-world operation, MoboDrive ST provides OEMs and system designers with a robust and flexible motion solution.

Mobotic’s application support covers everything from system selection to full deployment.
