NORD DRIVESYSTEMS offers powerful and robust drive solutions for belt conveyors and bucket elevators to lifting equipment through MAXXDRIVE industrial gear units.

The drive specialist raises the bar with its new MAXXDRIVE XD series, which features a 35 percent increase in centre distance and a 60 percent reduction in drive weight due to optimal use of installation space. The new “family member” in the NORD industrial gear unit portfolio matches the lifting equipment requirements. The parallel arrangement of the gear stages and the thus increased centre distance were specially developed for the usual layout of lifting gear drives for cranes, where the gear unit, motor and rope drum are arranged in a U-shape. The increased surface area of the XD also ensures optimum heat dissipation.

Durable and robust
Precise gear geometries in the MAXXDRIVE industrial gear units ensure excellent load capacity, long service life, and low noise. High-quality, low-friction bearings and the especially torsionally rigid one-piece UNICASE housing guarantee maximum robustness. The cuboid UNICASE housing also provides excellent flexibility and enables six installation positions. NORD offers its MAXXDRIVE industrial gear units in a total of eleven sizes and parallel or right-angle gear unit versions.

The MAXXDRIVE XT series was designed for high power without special cooling requirements. With capacities of up to 7,500 kW, it is recommended for applications in bulk goods conveying.

From conveying to lifting
For all areas of heavy-duty logistics, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS provides powerful and robust drive solutions – from conveying to lifting, from general goods to bulk materials, Jörg Niermann emphasises. All MAXXDRIVE industrial gear units use standard components to enable short-term availability. However, they are always configured to tailor to the customer’s requirements.
