Nord DuoDrive now with powers of up to 3 kW

The patented DuoDrive integrated gear unit/motor concept from in a hygienic wash-down design Nord Drivesystems is now available in power ranges of up to 3 kW.

The DuoDrive integrates a high-efficiency IE5+ synchronous motor into a single-stage helical gear unit, with a system efficiency of up to 92%. Very high system efficiency is also achieved in the partial load range. Nord says the DuoDrive is thus future-proof and a real cost reducer.

The constant motor torque over a wide speed range allows for consistent version reduction and reduction of operating costs. Together with the simple plug-and-play commissioning, this results in a significant reduction in total cost of ownership. DuoDrive is suitable for use in food and pharmaceutical industries as well as in intralogistics.

In addition to the high system efficiency, the smooth, unventilated and compact design as well as the quiet running with minimum noise emissions are further important features. Elimination of many wearing parts results in lower maintenance.

The patented geared motor is now available for powers of up to 3 kW with a continuous torque of up to 250 Nm and speeds of up to 1,000 rpm, and covers gear unit speed ratios of i=3 to i=18. Market-compatible connection dimensions facilitate the replacement and the integration into existing plant designs.

DuoDrive is also compatible with Nord drive electronics and can be equipped with all common hollow shaft dimensions (20 to 40 mm) and flange versions (B5 and B14), or a torque arm. Depending on the customer requirements, Harting HAN connectors, M12 round plug connectors or a terminal strip are provided for the motor connection. Different options like encoder feedback or a holding brake are also possible with DuoDrive. Thanks to its design and operation with the frequency inverter, the DuoDrive can be universally used with the same motor variant worldwide.

As it is easy to clean, corrosion-resistant and wash-down capable, DuoDrive is suited for use in hygiene-sensitive and harsh environments, and ensures higher system availability and low cleaning costs through lower cleaning effort. The especially robust nsd tupH surface treatment is optionally available.
