Efficient plant concepts with innovative drive technology

Energy efficiency at a new level

With the IE5+ syn­chro­nous motor, Nord has already suc­ceed­ed in sig­nif­i­cant­ly reduc­ing loss­es once again com­pared to the cur­rent IE4 series. The patent-pend­ing Duo­Drive goes one step fur­ther and sets new stan­dards in terms of per­for­mance, instal­la­tion space and vari­ant reduc­tion. At up to 92%, it offers one of the high­est effi­cien­cies of any gear­mo­tor in this pow­er class on the mar­ket and achieves very high sys­tem effi­cien­cy even in part-load oper­a­tion. This makes it future-proof and a true cost reduc­er. This was achieved by ful­ly inte­grat­ing the IE5+ syn­chro­nous motor into a sin­gle-stage heli­cal gear unit — a com­plete­ly new approach to gear­mo­tor design.

Smart frequency inverters for IIoT applications

In the field of fre­quen­cy invert­ers, the com­pa­ny is pre­sent­ing two new prod­ucts at SPS: the Nor­dac PRO SK 500P con­trol cab­i­net invert­er with an extend­ed pow­er range of up to 22 kW and the Nor­dac ON decen­tral­ized invert­er for small pow­er ranges of up to 1.0 kW. A char­ac­ter­is­tic fea­ture is the inte­grat­ed mul­ti-pro­to­col Eth­er­net inter­face. Whether ProfiNET, Eth­er­NET IP or Ether­CAT — the desired pro­to­col can be eas­i­ly set by para­me­ter. This results in a vari­ant reduc­tion with addi­tion­al space and cost advan­tages, because no Eth­er­net add-on mod­ule is required. Per­fect for use in IIoT envi­ron­ments. Two vari­ants are avail­able: While the Nor­dac ON was designed for oper­a­tion with asyn­chro­nous motors, the Nor­dac ON+ is intend­ed for com­bi­na­tion with syn­chro­nous motors and com­ple­ments the high-effi­cien­cy port­fo­lio around the new IE5+ motor generation.

Digitization

All fre­quen­cy invert­ers fea­ture a pow­er­ful PLC for dri­ve-relat­ed func­tions. This can process the data from con­nect­ed sen­sors and actu­a­tors, ini­ti­ate sequence con­trols autonomous­ly, and trans­mit the dri­ve and appli­ca­tion data to the con­trol sta­tion, net­worked com­po­nents, or an exist­ing cloud. This enables con­tin­u­ous con­di­tion mon­i­tor­ing and thus lays the foun­da­tion for pre­dic­tive main­te­nance con­cepts and opti­mized plant dimensioning.

Experienced drive partner for logistics

The new invert­er has been spe­cial­ly adapt­ed to the tar­get appli­ca­tions of hor­i­zon­tal con­vey­or tech­nol­o­gy. As a long-stand­ing and expe­ri­enced logis­tics part­ner, the Group knows the needs of the indus­try inside out and sup­plies scal­able dri­ve solu­tions for all sub­sec­tors. In doing so, the com­pa­ny pur­sues a com­pre­hen­sive TCO approach that cre­ates an opti­mal com­pro­mise between invest­ment, oper­at­ing and main­te­nance costs. The dri­ve solu­tions are char­ac­ter­ized by high oper­a­tional reli­a­bil­i­ty, cost-effec­tive­ness and ser­vice life, and com­bine the ide­al com­bi­na­tion of vari­ant reduc­tion and ener­gy effi­cien­cy. A reli­able flow of goods is thus guaranteed.
