NORDAC ON/ON+ Variable Frequency Drive
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-and-Play capabilities, and a compact design. NORDAC ON/ON+ variable frequency drives are a reliable, economic solution for IIoT environments.
Highlights
- Performance: Up to 5.0 HP
- Protection class: IP55, IP66
- Wall-mount or motor-mount
Advantages
- Plug-and-Play connectivity
- Operation of asynchronous and synchronous motors
- PLC functionality for drive-related functions (PLC onboard)
- Compact, space-saving design due to integration of Ethernet communication
IE5+ Synchronous Motors for Ultra High-Efficiency
The new generation of NORD IE5+ synchronous motors are manufactured in-house and are especially well-suited for intralogistics. These motors feature a compact, hygienic design with smooth surfaces for high corrosion resistance and easy cleaning. IE5+ motors are available with IP69K surface treatment (when supplied as a complete gear unit). A motor-integrated encoder comes standard and an integrated mechanical brake is optional. By using these motors, the number of system variants can be reduced, lowering operating and maintenance costs. They have high compatibility and are intended for use with NORD Variable Frequency Drives (wall or cabinet mounted versions only).
Highlights
- Performance: 0.5 - 15.0 HP
- Worldwide approvals and acceptance
- Flexible motor mounting: NEMA, IEC, or direct mounting

- Decentralized variable frequency drive
- Power plug connector
- M12 connectors
- Modular and expandable
- Incremental encoder
- Pre-assembled cables
- High overload capacity
- PLC functionality for drive-related functions
As a complete package, LOGIDRIVE provides flexibility, increased energy efficiencies, and reduced variants to improve ROI. The VFDs and IE5+ motors support large speed ranges to deliver automation for stacker cranes, automated guided vehicles, and a variety of conveyors.
Two-Stage Helical Bevel Gear Units
NORD’s two stage helical bevels feature efficient operation in a modular design. Two housing styles (open and closed) along with flexible input and output configurations ensure complete application and environmental versatility. The units are available with foot, flange, or face mounting and hollow or solid shaft designs.
The two stage bevels are designed for customers who need a robust gearbox for light conveying and processing applications, as well as for food and beverage industries. It's also a more efficient and reliable solution than a typical worm unit.

Condition Monitoring
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is ushering in a new era that focuses on the acquisition and accessibility of data from intelligent, connected devices. The overarching goal is to increase operational efficiency, reduce costs, and accelerate processes.
With condition monitoring, drive and status data are recorded periodically or continuously to optimize the operational safety and efficiency of machines and plants. Condition monitoring provides valuable information for predictive maintenance so as to proactively maintain machines and plant facilities, reduce downtime, and increase the efficiency of the entire plant.
Advantages
- Early detection and avoidance of undesired operating conditions
- Avoidance of unplanned downtimes
- Time-based maintenance is replaced by status-based maintenance
- Machinery and plant downtimes can be planned based on drive and process data
- Reduction of service and material costs
- Longer service life of components and machines
- Increased system availability
