Main Components

Power supply system

The electric transfer cart is powered by batteries, generally DC batteries, such as lead-acid batteries, lithium-ion batteries, etc., to provide the required power for the cart. Common battery types include:

Lead-acid battery: This battery is affordable overall, but requires regular maintenance, and is an ideal solution for most heavy-duty environments.

Lithium-ion battery: It has a long overall life, charges relatively quickly, and does not require frequent maintenance.

Selection suggestions:

If the customer has a limited budget and needs a heavy load, choose a lead-acid battery.

If you need a battery with high efficiency and long life, choose the second one.

Control system

It is the core part of the transfer cart mainly responsible for monitoring and controlling the operation of the motor, the system receives instructions from the operator or the automation system, and then adjusts the speed and direction of the motor accordingly. By adjusting the current and voltage, it ensures precise control of acceleration, deceleration and forward/reverse movement.

Motor type 

Electric transfer carts usually use DC motors or AC motors. DC motors have the characteristics of good speed regulation and fast response, and are more suitable for scenarios that require frequent start and stop and precise speed regulation; while AC motors are overall efficient and energy-saving, and are ideal for long-distance and heavy-load transportation scenarios. Choose different motor types according to different transportation needs to ensure that the equipment can be in the best state, thereby improving operating efficiency.

Power transmission

The motor transmits power to the wheels or tracks through a transmission device (such as a gearbox), allowing the rail electric transfer cart to travel stably on the track. This efficient power transmission ensures that the cart can carry heavy objects and complete the transportation task efficiently.

Control signal 

The control system sends control signals to the motors. The speed and direction of the motors are controlled based on the operator's instructions or the needs of the automation system. This ensures smooth acceleration, deceleration, etc. of the rail cart, making it more efficient and reliable for transportation operations.

Operation control 

The control system of the electric rail cart controls the speed and direction of the motor according to the received signal. By adjusting the current and voltage of the motor, the acceleration, deceleration, forward and reverse rotation of the cart can be controlled.

Assistance Systems

In addition to the above components, the transfer cart of Peisa Machinery is also equipped with auxiliary systems such as remote controls, handles and electrical boxes to improve the safety and convenience of customer operation. These features simplify the operation, allowing operators to easily operate and improve work efficiency.
