High Precision: The GMR encoder is 38 times more precise than the Hall effect encoder. It offers significantly better performance at low speeds while maintaining the magnetic stability of a Hall encoder. (Note: Hall encoders are sufficient for most general applications). Specification Table: Item GMR Encoder Hall Effect Encoder Model GMR Encoder Hall Effect Encoder Resolution 500 ppr (Pulses Per Revolution) 13 ppr (Pulses Per Revolution) Type Giant Magnetoresistance (GMR) Magnetic Induction (Hall Effect) Supply Voltage 3.3 - 5V 3.3 - 5V Protection Includes plastic back cover Exposed (Magnetic encoders are stable and generally do not require a back cover) Compatible MCUs MCUs with hardware encoder interfaces (e.g., STM32). Not compatible with Arduino/51, etc. Common consumer and industrial-grade general-purpose MCUs Self-Patented GMR Encoder The high-precision GMR (Giant Magnetoresistance) encoder is a cutting-edge innovation in the field of motion control. It combines the high-precision advantages of optical encoders with the stability and reliability of Hall effect encoders. By merging these dual characteristics, it is increasingly becoming the preferred high-quality alternative to optical encoders across a wide range of application scenarios. Safe Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) Battery with Optional Metal Enclosure LiFePO4 batteries use lithium iron phosphate as the cathode material. When protected by a metal enclosure and bracket, these batteries do not catch fire or explode under extreme conditions such as high temperatures, overcharging, or external impacts. The thermal runaway threshold for LiFePO4 is 530–800°C, significantly higher than the 150–200°C of Ternary Lithium batteries. Known for high-temperature resistance, stability, and superior cycle life, it is an excellent choice for balancing energy density and safety. Key Features Upgraded Protection Circuit Board (BMS): The built-in protection board provides comprehensive safeguards against short circuits, overcharging, and over-discharging, significantly enhancing safety performance. Professional Certification: Passed UN38.3 certification. Premium Grade-A Battery Cells: Cell quality determines battery life. We use original Grade-A cells from top-tier manufacturers to ensure high energy density and reliability. High/Low Temp Charge & Discharge Protection: Temperature is a core variable for battery safety. The P7 series features full-spectrum protection (high-temp charge/discharge and low-temp charge/discharge) to ensure safety at the source. Metal Protective Enclosure: Assists with heat dissipation, provides a professional aesthetic, and offers high resistance to physical impacts. Note: LiFePO4 offers a massive safety upgrade compared to Ternary Lithium batteries.

Altitude Simulation Test Stored for 6 hours at air pressure $\le$ 11.6kPa (simulating high altitude). Result: No leakage, venting, explosion, or fire. 2. Thermal Cycling Test Cycled between -40°C and 75°C, held for 6 hours at each temperature for 10 repetitions. Result: Stable performance under extreme temperature fluctuations. 3. Vibration Test Subjected to frequencies of 7Hz~200Hz with vertical and horizontal vibrations for 3 hours. Result: No damage after simulating transport vibrations. 4. Shock Test The battery is fixed during testing with acceleration applied based on mass. Small/large battery shocks lasted 6/11ms respectively. Result: Structural integrity maintained. 5. External Short Circuit Test At $20 \pm 5$°C, the positive and negative terminals are short-circuited with low resistance until the temperature recovers. Result: No fire, explosion, or overheating. 6. Crush Test A force of 13kN is applied according to regulations until the casing cracks or an internal short circuit occurs. Result: No safety hazards throughout the process. 7. Overcharge Test Charged at 2x rated current until the voltage stabilizes or for a full 7 hours. Result: No thermal runaway or loss of control during overcharging. 8. Forced Discharge Test At room temperature, the battery is connected in series with a 12V DC power source and suitable resistance to force discharge at maximum current. Result: Passed safety criteria. High-Performance Omni-Driven Wheels By utilizing high-precision 127mm metal omni-wheels to replace traditional caster wheels, we have achieved significantly lower noise during movement. These wheels ensure smooth steering with zero jitter and steady startups without vibration. Whether operating on carpet, concrete, or other varying road conditions, the chassis maintains stable performance. Its overall stability and steering precision now closely rival those of 4WD models.
