For IoT-driven machine and plant engineering, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS now offers solutions for making drive data available in real time in a cloud environment.

As an all-new supplement to the modular industrial gear range, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS now provides extruder flanges optimized for heavy duty operation.

Specifically designed for intralogistics and baggage handling systems, the new LogiDrive standardized AC vector drives from NORD DRIVESYSTEMS facilitate planning, configuration, and spare part management through a project-based reduction of variant complexity.

At the 2017 Hannover Messe exhibition, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS will present two new gearboxes for nominal torques of 15 and 20 kNm.

Novel plug&play drive design facilitates installation and operation

On the occasion of its tenth anniversary, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS S.A. de C.V. Mexico opened a new, larger assembly plant and office in Huimilpan, in the state of Querétaro, Mexico.

NORD DRIVESYSTEMS portfolio already exceeds EU Ecodesign stipulations

NORD DRIVESYSTEMS has committed INR 45 mn (approx. EUR 600,000) to the expansion of its Indian subsidiary. The investment was used to establish a new service area at the NORD DRIVESYSTEMS Pvt. Ltd. facility in Pune. The factory now boasts a 13,000 m² shop floor and can turn out over 24,000 drives per year. Since 2005, the company has delivered more than 100,000 geared motors to customers across the subcontinent. Short delivery times and fast service are among the most important measures to keep regional customers satisfied. Staffed with a team of experienced, highly trained technicians, the new, expanded service area is crucial to ensure this for the future. In addition, NORD has launched an initiative for service vehicles: they serve customers on location, quickly provide qualified customer service, and are even equipped to offer training.

Enabling centralized as well as autonomous operation

NORD DRIVESYSTEMS now offers standardized drive units in three highly efficient and easy-to-service versions for typical requirements in conveying applications. The line-up of LogiDrive systems enables a quicker selection of the suitable drive for a given application and allows for reducing the variety of versions to a manageable few. IE4 synchronous motors with 1.1 kW, 1.5 kW, and 2.2 kW rated power are combined with two-stage helical bevel gears for speed ranges of 0-565 rpm (size 1) or 0-482 rpm (size 2 and 3). The transmission is continuously variable in the range from 1 to 500. Distributed frequency inverters for installation on the conveyor frame near the motor ensure optimum accessibility. They feature a key switch for disconnection from the plant control system and a direction switch for local set-up.
