NORDAC FUSION: High-performance unit consisting of motor and inverter

With NORDAC FUSION, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS launches a powerful drive system that combines motor and inverter into a compact unit.

Bargteheide, 2026-06-17

NORDAC FUSION is the answer for everyone, who looks for maximum drive power in a very small space – simple, quick and efficient. Thanks to the optimal electrical and mechanical adjustment of motor and inverter, NORDAC FUSION achieves high power density. This eliminates extensive parameterisation or time-consuming selection of components. Users benefit from a compact system that is ready for use immediately after being connected. The decentralised design of the NORDAC FUSION furthermore allows for direct mounting on the respective unit – eliminating the need for centralised control cabinets and significantly reducing wiring efforts.

NORDAC FUSION – Various combinations

NORDAC FUSION combines asynchronous motors (IE3) and permanent magnet synchronous motors (IE5+) in ventilated and unventilated versions with a decentralised NORDAC ON frequency inverter. The optimised motor/inverter combinations cover a power range from 0.31 to 3.7 kW. They feature consistent safety and communication properties, are suitable for worldwide use, and can be ideally complemented with a gear unit from the manufacturer’s modular product range.

Advanced communication and safety functions

The decentralised frequency inverters are characterised by their compact design, full plug-in capability and high reliability. Special features include the integrated PLC and their multi-protocol Ethernet interface. PROFINET, EtherNet/IP and EtherCAT can be easily set via parameters. Integrated safety functions such as STO and SS1, as well as motion-monitoring functions like SLS, SMS or SSM, enable the safe operation of nearly all motion sequences in automated production. The safe digital inputs and outputs can be used to incorporate fail-safe peripheral components or functions.

Encoderless control in dynamic applications

Another advantage is the encoderless control of NORDAC FUSION with the manufacturer’s highly efficient IE5+ synchronous motors (PMSM). Using the CFC open-loop injection method, the motor’s rotor position and speed can be captured without additional sensors. With this, NORD offers a robust, streamlined and economical drive solution that is also suitable for dynamic applications.

Highly efficient IE5+ motor technology

NORD’s highly efficient IE5+ permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) are characterised by a constantly high efficiency of up to 95% over a wide torque range. In partial load and partial speed ranges, they therefore achieve optimum energy consumption performance and allow for a reduction of variants for more streamlined production, logistics, warehousing and service processes.

Ideal for demanding environments

The NORDAC FUSION drive solution can be used up to a temperature of -30 °C. The combination of IE5+ synchronous motors and NORDAC ON PURE with NXD tupH® is, for example, suitable for wash-down applications in the food sector. Ethernet on board, hybrid cables and daisy chain technology enable efficient and hygienic topologies that are easier to clean than conventional decentralised wiring.
