MAXXDRIVE^® Industrial Gear Units for High Torque Applications

NORD MAXXDRIVE^® Industrial Gear Units provide high output torques from 15,000 Nm to 282,000 Nm and are perfect for use in heavy duty applications such as agitators, conveyor belt drives, mixers, mills, drums or crushers.

Industrial gear units are available as helical gear units or bevel gear units. They are constructed with the UNICASE housing which was developed by us and can accommodate large roller bearings, which guarantee a long service life. By the way: NORD is the industrial gear unit manufacturer with the world's largest industrial gear units in a UNICASE housing.

The UNICASE Helical Inline Gear Motor combines variability with robustness. Helical inline gear units from NORD are highly versatile and can be adapted to a wide range of applications. UNICASE gear units feature a cast iron housing that is torsionally rigid and capable of withstanding high axial and radial loads. The UNICASE™ housing combines all gear unit elements in a single housing. As a result, the UNICASE Helical Inline Gear Motor offers several advantages:

• Operational reliability through long service life

• Cost-effectiveness due to high efficiency and low maintenance

• Flexible use thanks to various housing designs

• Low space requirements thanks to compact design

• Low-noise operation thanks to quiet running

The UNICASE parallel Gear Motor provides drive solutions with high efficiency and performance, even in confined spaces. It is flexible in use thanks to its compact UNICASE^TM housing: the design combines all gear unit elements in a single housing.

• Low space requirement thanks to compact, short overall length due to parallel axis offset

• Durable design thanks to torsionally rigid UNICASE™ housing concept without joints

• Easy to clean in the aluminum version and durable in demanding environments when additionally equipped with NXD BASIC^® / NXD tupH^® surface protection

• Flexible use thanks to different versions and broad adaptability to different requirements

High-efficiency synchronous motor with hygienic design

The IE5+ motor generation achieves efficiency levels that surpass those of the highest defined  efficiency class (IE5). Thanks to their compact and hygienic design, permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) are perfectly suited for use in intralogistics and in the food and beverage industry. They are compatible with all gear units and frequency inverters in the NORD modular product system.

• Maximum efficiency enables improved overall efficiency of the system

• Extended protection for wash-down areas with NXD tupH^® surface treatment

• Variant reduction possible thanks to constant torque over a wide speed range

• Low space requirement thanks to compact design

• Adaptable to individual requirements through various motor options

Greater flexibility, lower costs

Our Decentralised Inverters can be freely configured, to adapt them to any application. Because of this, you obtain an optimum solution and at the same time reduce your installation and operating costs.

Frequency inverter for control cabinet installation

• Power range: 0.25 kW – 160 kW

• Protection class: IP20

• Simple system integration via multi-protocol Ethernet interface

• Fast commissioning due to voltage-free parameterisation via USB port

• Multiple axis operation controllable via multi-encoder interface

Decentralised compact solution for high energy efficiency

The product range is designed for controlling NORD's highly efficient synchronous and asynchronous motors. While the NORDAC ON is suitable for IE3 drives, the NORDAC ON+ has been optimised for interaction with the IE5+ synchronous motor. The frequency inverters are characterised by an integrated multi-protocol Ethernet interface, full plug-in capability and a highly compact design. These features make them especially suitable for the requirements of horizontal conveyor technology. 

• High compatibility and easy integration into Ethernet-based control systems via integrated multi-protocol Ethernet interface 

• Simple installation and maintenance thanks to full plug-in capability 

• Flexible use with both synchronous and asynchronous motors 

• Low space requirements thanks to compact size and possible motor integration
