In turn, this decreases the rotating mass of a wheel such that the moment of inertia of an aluminum ORBIS Ring-Wheel approximates that of a conventional carbon composite wheel. Further, by integrating the motor with the suspension upright (knuckle), the moment arm advantage created by the caliper and motor placement at the furthest inside edge of the rotating circumference of the rim or “ring” improves braking effectiveness by 40% as measured by braking temperature reduction. The strain-tuned, 3-pointed stationary bearing spider of the patented ORBIS Ring-Wheel combined with material science advances increase overall wheel assembly stiffness and reduce friction five-fold.

Torque vectoring facilitates more finely-tuned control in turning, pivot (rotate within the vehicle’s own dimensions), and re-orientation, all at reduced cost, weight, and complexity. ORBIS wheels allow forward, rearward, and sideways motion, while steering each wheel independently or in unison. ORBIS Ring-Drive™ technology facilitates novel suspension and steering methods that offer increased ground clearance and the robustness necessary to surmount terrain impassable by conventional drive-trains. Results are predictive of increased safety and durability, and reduced maintenance costs. Thermal infrared imagery revealed a 30% reduction in mechanical brake temperatures.

Tests, conducted in compliance with Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) protocols, included a series of simulated panic stops. ORBIS Ring-Drive™ wheel showed improved mechanical and regenerative braking abilities in on-road testing with a Honda Type R. The Ring-Drive™ wheel spins longer and more easily. Mass & Inertiaīy limiting the rotating mass to the rim, brake ring and tire, the resistance to rotation or moment of inertia is greatly improved. ORBIS technology eliminates a substantial number of drive-train parts while dramatically improving mass and inertia, braking, and maneuverability.įor OEM evaluation, ORBIS currently offers Ring-Drive™ wheels in a 19” x 8” form factor. as well as in Australia and India.ORBIS GreenWheels program is based on the patented Ring-Drive™ technology that divides a wheel or cog into two essential parts - a stationary hub and a rim or “ring.” The ring rotates about the stationary hub, driven by a lightweight, high-speed motor.
