NXD tupH® protects aluminum drives

With the NXD tupH® surface protection, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS certifies aluminum drive solutions for wet environments in close proximity to production. The technology was developed specifically for aluminum and combines a surface finish with a high-performance sealant. This reliably protects the housings from corrosion, even with frequent contact with moisture, alkalis, acids, and cleaning chemicals. This addresses a key vulnerability in primary packaging: cleaning-intensive processes increase the risk of wear, downtime, and premature replacement. NORD components thus acquire properties that make them comparable to stainless steel in terms of hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Your benefits with NXD tupH®:

  • Hygienic protection: The sealant does not peel or corrode—proven over the long term, including through Ecolab testing. The non-porous surface is quick and easy to clean hygienically.
  • High investment security: The hygienic components are resistant to corrosion and therefore very durable.
  • Low space requirements: Aluminum dissipates heat well, keeping surface temperatures low. This enables the design of compact drive systems with flexible installation on the packaging line.
  • Global food compliance: The NXD tupH® surface meets the requirements of the FDA, the EU, Switzerland, and the MERCOSUR countries.
  • Sustainable solution: The NXD tupH® system is free of PFAS and chromates.
  • Full flexibility: With NXD tupH®, we upgrade existing drives, allowing us to utilize the options from our modular product range for their design.
  • Quick availability: Our NXD tupH® products are available from stock, ready for installation.

Decentralized Systems Streamline Operations

NORD Drive Technology for End-of-Line Packaging

NORD offers drive solutions featuring decentralized frequency inverters and asynchronous motors as a genuine alternative for end-of-line packaging.

The problem:

In end-of-line packaging (EoL), drives with centrally controlled servo motors are widely used. However, in applications with high inertia or long travel distances—such as palletizing, stabilizing, or handling—these are generally not necessary. Decentralized drive solutions with controlled asynchronous motors reduce the complexity of system design and make it more flexible.

The solution:

  • Induction motors have high internal inertia. This makes them easier to control than traditional servo solutions, which must be adapted to the end-of-line (EoL) application using a high gear ratio. Additional advantages: Induction motors produce low vibration, reduce the risk of damage to the load or machine, and can be combined with various types of gearboxes and frequency converters.
  • Decentralized frequency converters speed up commissioning and simplify maintenance. With a modular drive concept, redesigns or expansions of the system architecture are possible at any time. The result: reduced costs, greater efficiency, and easy scalability.

Your benefits:

  • More space thanks to smaller control cabinets
  • Fewer wiring errors thanks to simple plug-and-play
  • Greater dynamics thanks to high overload capacity and sensorless control
  • No downtime during peak demand thanks to short delivery times, 24/7 service, and global availability

NORD gear units for servo motors

Can be flexibly combined with our adapters

IEC_NEMA_Adapter

NORD is also your partner for servo applications in packaging lines. Whenever servo gear units are oversized, you benefit from our highly efficient NORD gear units, which can be configured for virtually any application. Thanks to our universal gear unit concept, you also benefit from quick changeover times and simplified inventory management.

How does it work?

Our modular product range offers various adapters that make our gear units highly versatile. Available adapters include: IEC, NEMA, and servo adapters.

Which gear units can you use?

You have access to NORD’s high-performance helical, bevel, and worm gear units. They enable torques up to 100,000 Nm and gear ratios up to 14,340.31:1.

What are the benefits for you?

  • NORD gear units operate quietly
  • They can be configured for virtually any application.
  • Angled bevel and worm gear units, in particular, offer advantages in terms of cost and installation space.
  • NORD gear units are also available in aluminum versions. This allows you to benefit from lighter, space-saving designs—which, thanks to NXD tupH® coating, can withstand the intensive cleaning processes in primary packaging.

Functional Safety

As digitalization, automation, and decentralization continue to advance in industry, functional safety is becoming increasingly important and is an indispensable aspect of NORD drive systems. Our newest member of the decentralized frequency inverter family—the NORDAC ON—is therefore receiving a comprehensive safety upgrade: In addition to STO and SS1, the Safe Motion functions SLS, SMS, and SSM will also be integrated in the future for safety-oriented monitoring of rotational motion—ensuring even greater safety during the operation of plants and machines.

The future version of the NORDAC ON can be integrated into a safety-related application within an existing Industrial Ethernet network via PROFIsafe or FSoE. The desired Industrial Ethernet dialect is simply configured during commissioning. Stand-alone operation is also possible, for example for a single-axis machine. In this case, the safety-related digital inputs and outputs of the NORDAC ON can also be used to integrate safety-related peripheral components/functions such as E-Stop, Reset, and door interlocks. When integrated into the safety controller via PROFIsafe or FSoE, the status of the safe digital inputs and outputs can be transmitted from the device to the controller and vice versa.

Functional safety with the NORDAC ON:

  • STO: Safe Torque Off
  • SS1: Safe Stop 1
  • SLS: Safety Limited Speed – NEW
  • SMS: Safe Maximum Speed – NEW
  • SSM: Safe Speed Monitor – NEW

Planetary gear units with NORD motors

Systems with Neugart – a complete solution from a single source

Where compact design, low backlash, and high dynamics are required, you benefit from NORD motors – combined with planetary gear units from Neugart. In the standard version, the gear units are mounted directly onto the IEC flange of the NORD motor, without any additional adapters. This results in a cost-effective drive solution that is technically coordinated, tested, and ready for immediate installation.

Technical Data

  • 21 gear unit models, from Economy to Precision Line
  • Direct mounting on IEC flange, optionally B5 or B14
  • Backlash typically 5–7 arc minutes, precision gear units
  • Ratios i = 3 to 512
  • Torque range 5 to 1800 Nm
  • Input speeds up to 5000 rpm
  • Efficiency up to 98%, service life up to 20,000 h
  • Options: Grease or oil lubrication, IP54 or IP65, stainless steel shafts, coatings

  • A single point of contact for a ready-to-install solution comprising motor, gear unit, and flange
  • Combination of robust NORD motor technology and precise Neugart mechanics
  • Optimized power transmission through matched moments of inertia and gear ratios
  • Low risk of mismatches between motor and gear unit
  • Efficient power transmission through compatible combination
  • Scalable for adaptations and expansions
