High-torque industrial gears in unicase housings
Nord Drivesystems claims that it is the only manufacturer to offer industrial gears rated 90,000Nm and above in Unicase housings. In fact the company now has a portfolio that covers torques from 20,000Nm to 200,000Nm.
According to Nord, the design of the Unicase housing ensures maximum resistance against radial and axial loads, since all bearing seats are integrated into a single-piece gearcase. Users can select from a wide range of modular gear units and components, and easily adapt the configuration to specific application requirements for a maximum output of up to 1MW.
As a major supplier of large gear units, Nord Drivesystems offers high-performance industrial power transmission units for elevated torque and power ratings. With several years of experience across all industry sectors, Nord application experts help users to choose and adapt suitable drive systems. Large-scale gear units from Nord are used extensively for example in conveying applications for chain or belt conveyors, freight lifts, agitators and many other applications. Nord supplies complete drive systems including a motor, brake and clutch. Users can select any standard motor and choose from a wide range of brake and clutch types. The systems are available with a frame or a swing base. In some applications, industrial gear units from Nord can replace or complement the large-scale gear units.
