New two-stage helical bevel gearboxes with output torques up to 50 Nm
Bargteheide – NORD DRIVESYSTEMS expands its latest series of slim two-stage helical bevel gearboxes, adding a new smaller unit for output torques up to 50 Nm. Highly efficient helical bevel type units therefore now complement the line-up of worm gearboxes that is already available for small loads. Thanks to superior manufacturing quality standards, the gear units are highly resilient and withstand large forces on the output shaft. The short-term overload tolerance is 275%, which leaves enough time for the motor protection to kick in. Mechanical blockages usually do not cause damage, but the drive can start right up again without service interruption. The new units are available for gear ratios from 3.58 to 61.88. They add a new size to the existing series that now comprises six sizes with output torques up to 660 Nm. NORD supplies the two-stage helical bevel gearboxes with hollow and solid shafts, single or double shafts, for foot or flange mounting, and in open or enclosed designs. All versions feature a very high power density, ensuring robust reliability and easy handling. By default, the gearboxes support reverse operation. NORD custom-configures motors, drive electronics, accessories, gaskets, and lubricants for all industries. One of the options, for instance, is the heavy-duty corrosion-protection treatment nsd tupH for the enclosure.

Intelligent, adaptive drive control – hybrid solutions for centralized and distributed drive control
Bargteheide – NORD DRIVESYSTEMS showcased smart control solutions for synchronous and induction motors at the 2015 SPS IPC Drives exhibition in Nuremberg, Germany. The SK 200E frequency inverter series was a centerpiece of the presentation. Featuring an integrated positioning function, the highest overload capability and broadest performance range (0.25 kW to 22 kW), these technologically advanced units are leading the field of electronics for distributed drive control. One prominently placed exhibit demonstrated their great flexibility especially in large-scale installations with a centralized automation concept: normally controlled via fieldbus or Industrial Ethernet, they can be instantly disconnected via a switch, e.g. for maintenance purposes. The inverter-integrated PLC then takes over and executes tasks like positioning. In case of an unintentional, sudden disruption of communication with a higher-level control system, an SK 200E is able to keep crucial process stages running in order to limit production losses.

NORD 4.0 READY: drive technology for automated production in the age of IIoT
Bargteheide – Machine and plant designs that live up to the German "Industrie 4.0" framework and the similar concept of the "Industrial Internet of Things" require smart drive technology with high flexibility and functionality. The drives must be seamlessly integrated into communication networks, ensure efficient data processing, and support modular, decentralized control concepts. Launching the label "NORD 4.0 READY", German manufacturer NORD DRIVESYSTEMS provides scalable electrical drive systems and software to cover the full spectrum of tasks, from simple actuators to complex networked systems.

Double the performance in the field . Distributed servo technology: AKD-N series from KOLLMORGEN now up to 12 A
KOLLMORGEN expands its fields of application for the distributed servo technology with a significant increase in performance. The three-phase AKD-N series now delivers currents up to 12 A – equivalent to a doubling of output to 4.8 kW. The AKD-C central rectifier units are also bringing more power. With 20 kW the compact devices are now also providing double the previous maximum continuous output of 10kW. The short-term peak output for both devices is at just short of three times the nominal current.
