Compact all-in-one wheel drive

The ROKIT Motor consists of a wheel, gearbox, brake, motor, encoder and motion controller (Elmo Platinum Twitter). The highly integrated all-in-one design combines all the necessary drive components and combines maximum performance with minimum installation space. Perfectly suited for use in your mobile robots.

Functional safety via EtherCAT with FSoE

The FSoE-based wheel drive (Fail Safe over EtherCAT) ensures the safe and reliable transmission of safety-critical data via the powerful EtherCAT network - with just a single cable. Suitable for applications up to safety level PLd/SIL2, it meets all necessary safety standards. The integrated Elmo Motion Controller enables the simple implementation of essential safety functions such as Safe Torque Off (STO) and Safe Limited Speed (SLS), which ensure safe operation, especially in collaborative environments. With the ROKIT Motor, you benefit from maximum safety and efficiency: you reduce your development time, minimize costs and sustainably increase the functional safety of your applications.

Ready for immediate use thanks to plug-and-drive

As a plug-and-drive solution, the modular drive unit can be integrated flexibly and easily. Thanks to minimal cabling and simple mounting, the ROKIT Motor reduces integration complexity and maintenance costs.

A modular toolkit for AGV/AMR

With ROKIT - The Robotics Kit and ctrlX AUTOMATION, you benefit from modular software and hardware solutions that you can combine with each other or with third-party solutions to suit your needs. For example, the ROKIT Motor can be seamlessly connected to the safety control (ctrlX SAFETY) and the vehicle control (ctrlX CORE). The open architecture and standardized interfaces – such as EtherCAT and FSoE – ensure easy integration into existing systems. Thanks to these perfectly coordinated modular solutions from robotics and automation, you can implement your individual requirements optimally and set yourself apart from the competition through efficiency and flexibility.
