Finishing for aluminium surfaces NXD tupH®

With its NXD tupH® surface finish, NORD makes the surfaces of drive units with aluminium housings particularly corrosion-resistant. The NXD tupH finish consists of a base layer, which transforms the top layer of the aluminium body into a corrosion-resistant layer. The combination with a sealer achieves extreme resistance with better hardness compared to an untreated aluminium alloy.

This finish prevents flaking or corrosive infiltration, meaning that the protective effect remains intact even in the event of minor mechanical damage. The surface finish therefore offers major advantages when used in hygiene-critical areas in the food, beverage and packaging industries, as well as in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. NXD tupH® surfaces are PFAS-free and food-compliant in accordance with the FDA, EU Regulation 1935/2004 and the regulations of Switzerland and the MERCOSUR countries.

Advantages

  • Not a coating, but a durable finish
  • Makes aluminium harder and resistant to acids and alkalis
  • Aluminium is lightweight, cost-effective and fully recyclable
  • Aluminium housings have better thermal conductivity than stainless steel, which reduces their maximum surface temperature
  • Ideal for use in hygiene-critical areas and industries

IE3/IE5+ Smooth Body Motors

High-efficiency smooth-running motors from NORD DRIVESYSTEMS, featuring a hygienic and sealed design, offer several key advantages:

IE3_IE5+_Collage

High Energy Efficiency

Thanks to their optimized efficiency (IE3 and IE5), they consume less electrical energy than motors in lower efficiency classes. This lowers operating costs and reduces energy consumption

Hygienic, Smooth Housing

The smooth surface without cooling fins prevents dirt, dust, or bacteria from accumulating. This makes the motors particularly easy to clean and ensures they meet high hygiene standards (e.g., in food or pharmaceutical facilities).

Enclosed design (TENV)

The motor is fully enclosed and has no fan openings. This prevents water, cleaning agents, dust, or particles from entering the interior.

Reduced maintenance requirements

Since there is no fan and less dirt can enter, there is less wear and tear and fewer maintenance tasks.

Quiet operation

Without a fan, these motors typically run more quietly, which reduces noise pollution.

NORDAC ON/ON+

NORDAC ON/ON+ VFDs were developed to meet the special requirements of horizontal conveyor technology and for use with the new IE5+ synchronous motor (NORDAC ON+). They are characterized by an integrated Ethernet interface, full Plug-&-Play capabilities, and a very compact design. NORDAC ON/ON+ variable frequency drives are a reliable, economic solution for IIoT environments. The NORDAC ON PURE will soon be available as a decentralised frequency inverter with NXD tupH® surface.

Advantages

  • Plug-&-play solution for quick commissioning
  • Operation of asynchronous and synchronous motors
  • Multi Ethernet Chip
  • Compact, space-saving design through integration of Ethernet communication
  • Economical series product for your conveyor technology

Technical features of the series

  • Latest generation permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM)
  • Power range 0.35–11 kW (previously: up to 3.7 kW)
  • Motor torque: 1.6–43.8 Nm (previously: up to 14.7 Nm)
  • Speed: 0 to 2,400 rpm
  • Optionally available with IP69K
  • Motor-integrated encoder as standard, integrated mechanical brake optional

What the series offers you:

  • Compact, modular, and scalable motor design
  • Can be combined with all NORD gear units and inverters in a modular system; system solution from a single source – all parts seamlessly matched
  • Consistently high efficiency over a wide speed and load range
  • Flexible motor mounting: NEMA, IEC possible

What you get:

  • Highest efficiency thanks to IE5+ (= above the highest defined efficiency class IE5)
  • High dynamics and overload capacity
  • Possible reduction in variants due to constant torque over a wide speed range
  • Optimized operating costs (TCO) and short payback period (ROI)
  • Compact design with high power density for the smallest installation spaces
  • Flexible combination with the complete portfolio of NORD gear units and electrical drive technology

Gearbox and motor:
two in one with NORD DuoDrive

DuoDrive is a revolutionary geared motor concept integrated into a hygienic version for humid environments. It combines the high-efficiency IE5+ motor with a single-stage helical gear reducer within a housing. With its optimized system efficiency, high power capacity, and very low noise emissions, it is particularly suitable for intralogistics, food processing, and pharmaceutical industries. Combined with simple commissioning via the ready-to-use device, a significant reduction in the total cost of ownership (TCO) is achieved compared to other drive systems used previously.

Benefits

  • Latest generation permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) integrated into the housing of a single-stage helical gear reducer
  • Reduced total cost of ownership and rapid return on investment
  • Compact and smooth casing design for long service life and space saving

Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)

In addition to investment costs, operating costs represent a significant portion of the total cost of ownership (TCO). These costs primarily consist of energy costs, administrative expenses, and logistics and storage costs. Therefore, improving energy efficiency and implementing a reduction in variants are crucial factors in optimizing the profitability of a facility.

NORD's IE4 synchronous motors enable lower energy consumption and reduced operating costs for installations. These motors deliver their full energy-saving potential at partial load and speed operating points, such as those found on conveyor belts. Furthermore, a targeted reduction in variants minimizes administrative costs and reduces spare parts inventory.

Reduced operating costs generate savings each year, which improves the profitability of the facility.
