About Keyed Drive Wheels

Drive wheels on AGVs and motorized equipment use a keyed bore (a notch cut into the wheel's hub) that locks onto a corresponding key on the motor drive shaft. Prevents the wheel from slipping under torque.

How to Choose

1. Match Bore Diameter

Match wheel bore to motor shaft diameter exactly. 1 inch, 1-1/4 inch, 1-1/2 inch most common.

2. Match Keyway Size

Keyway dimensions must match motor shaft's key. Common: 1/4 x 1/8, 5/16 x 5/32.

3. Wheel Material

Polyurethane for indoor smooth floors (most common AGV use). Rubber for noise control. Steel for heavy/abrasive environments.

4. Made to Order

For non-standard bore or keyway sizes, contact us — keyed drive wheels are commonly made to spec.
