NORD said that it will showcase the following technologies in Atlanta:

• IE5+ synchronous motors
  • The company said that its IE5+ permanent magnet synchronous motors deliver an extremely high efficiency of up to 95%, high power density and significant energy savings. Permanent magnet technology enables the motors to deliver constant torque and efficiency over a wide speed range, even at partial load and low speeds. NORD said that this not only makes them ideal for many intralogistics applications, but also reduces system variants, administrative expenses, and the total cost of ownership. The company said that the ventilated TEFC versions feature finned housings for advanced heat dissipation in continuous duty applications, while smooth body, non-ventilated TENV versions offer an easy-to-clean surface for hygienic environments.
• Electronic control products
  • NORD said that its electronic control products are available as centralized offerings for control cabinet installation or as decentralized versions for direct use on the application. The company said that its NORDAC line is characterized by scalable functionality, ease of installation and high precision regulation. NORDAC PRO variable frequency drives offer a compact control cabinet offering with a multi-protocol Ethernet interface, sensor-less current vector control that ensures constant speeds and a multi-encoder interface for multi-axis control. Decentralized solutions include NORDAC LINK variable frequency drives and motor starters, and NORDAC FLEX variable frequency drives. NORDAC LINK offers full Plug-and-Play capabilities for easy installation and maintenance, while NORDAC FLEX are NORD’s most flexible electronic drive with extensive optional integral modules and a wide selection of functions.
• LogiDrive complete drive
  • NORD said that LogiDrive is a complete, standardized modular system designed to maximize efficiency in intralogistics systems such as warehouse automation, airport baggage handling and post and parcel distribution. For every area, NORD said that there are advanced versions utilizing high-efficiency IE5+ synchronous motors and basic versions with IE3 asynchronous motors. The company said that the advanced versions provide exceptional energy savings, significantly reduce the total cost of ownership and minimize system variants. Basic versions offer a streamlined, cost-effective offering. NORD said that both versions combine the motors with flexible gear units and intelligent, decentralized variable frequency drives for a modular plug-and-play offering that can be configured to specific application needs.
