Traction Drive Type B is designed for industrial automation systems requiring ultra-smooth rotation, high positional accuracy, and stable torque transmission. Serving as a precision alternative to conventional gearing technologies, Type B enhances motion quality in applications where vibration, backlash, and settling time directly affect machine performance.

Built on traction drive rolling-contact principles, Type B minimizes mechanical wear while delivering consistent motion with low noise and exceptional rotational stability. When integrated with servo control systems, the design enables near-zero backlash and improved dynamic responsiveness, supporting precise positioning and repeatable performance.

Traction Drive Type B is well suited for precision machinery, inspection equipment, semiconductor manufacturing systems, and advanced automation environments where motion smoothness and accuracy are critical to process reliability.

Traction Drive Type A is engineered for wheel drive assemblies used in automated guided vehicles (AGVs), autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), and intelligent mobile equipment. Designed to deliver smooth rotational motion with exceptional positional stability, Type A enables precise speed control and quiet operation within compact mobile platforms.

Utilizing traction drive rolling-contact technology, torque is transmitted through pressure-controlled contact rather than traditional gear meshing. This design minimizes vibration and eliminates speed irregularities, allowing near-zero backlash when paired with closed-loop control systems. The result is highly accurate motion performance ideal for navigation, positioning, and continuous mobile operation.

Capable of supporting high input speeds and stable dynamic response, Traction Drive Type A provides reliable performance for logistics automation, warehouse robotics, and advanced mobile automation systems requiring smooth motion and long-term durability.
