- Torque: 230 - 2,186 lb-in
- Ratio: 3.21:1 - 18.1:1
Advantages
- Latest generation permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) integrated in a single-stage helical gear unit housing
- Reduced Total Cost of Ownership (TOC) and fast Return on Investment (ROI)
- Compact, smooth body design for durability and space savings
- Available with IP69K surface treatment
NORDAC ON/ON+ Variable Frequency Drives
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 very compact design. NORDAC ON/ON+ variable frequency drives are a reliable, economic solution for IIoT environments.
Highlights
- Power: Up to 5.0 hp
- Protection class: IP55, IP66
- Wall or motor mounting
Advantages
- Plug-and-Play solution for fast commissioning
- 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 feature a compact, hygienic design with smooth surfaces for high corrosion resistance and easy cleaning (TENV design) or a finned version for optimized heat dissipation (TEFC design). These 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.
Highlights

Condition Monitoring for Predictive Maintenance
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. Analyzing this data can provide valuable insight 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. Important information can be derived from the data analysis to proactively maintain systems, 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
