Thanks to their one-piece UNICASE™ housings, NORD’s industrial gear units withstand high radial and axial loads. They are manufactured in a single step, ensuring that all bearing seats are exactly flush with one another. This reduces the susceptibility to errors and increases the gear unit’s service life. The housings can accommodate large roller bearings, keeping friction and material wear to a minimum. In combination with case-hardened gearwheels that are precisely aligned with the shafts, the design, all in all, results in quiet running with low vibration.

Application-specific adaptation ensures availability

Furthermore, MAXXDRIVE® can be tailored to your specific application requirements. This allows for optimum operation with efficiency, low wear and, as a result, long lifetimes. MAXXDRIVE® comprises the four product series XD , XJ , XT and XC , which address typical requirements in various heavy duty applications. Due to their variety of installation positions and mounting surfaces, they allow precise use in various drive designs. NORD’s modular products also offer numerous features and options to round out the required set of functions. This includes reinforced bearings for increased radial loads, drum couplings for compensation of misalignments and brakes for controlled movements.

Users therefore have the option of purchasing the entire heavy duty drive solution from NORD as a single-source provider. With a network covering more than 80 countries, the manufacturer enables short delivery times for both standard and custom solutions.
