IDEC’s ez-Wheel Assist Wheel Drive (AWD) EW1A series provides electrical motion assistance for industrial manual material-handling equipment. The EW1A system ‘s main drive unit is available with 150 mm or 160 mm resilient polyurethane wheels, and the ability to support a vertical working load up to 400 kg, and to transfer loads up to 1,000 kg. A suspension bracket provides an adaptable way to add the main drive unit to upgrade any equipment. All models can accept internal batteries, which are recharged with a specific cable and charger. However, for greater capacity designers can alternately choose to use an external battery pack by means of an adapter cable. Batteries operate at a nominal 24 Vdc, with capacities ranging from 3 Ah to 15 Ah, depending on the model. The wheels operate at about 0 to 5 km/hr (0 to 3 mph) in both directions and are available with adjustable braking modes and an option parking brake. The wheels are rated for indoor use, in non-freezing temperatures and up to 40 °C.
