NORD DRIVESYSTEMS develops produces and sells drive technologies and is one of the international leaders in the industry. In addition to standard drives, NORD also supplies application-specific concepts and solutions, even for special applications, for example with energy-saving drives or explosion-protected systems. NORD produces a wide variety of drive units for torques from 10-200,000 Nm, electric motors with powers from 0.12 kW to 1,000 kW as well as the necessary power electronics in the form of frequency inverters and servo controllers.

Optimise costs and increase efficiency
The ‘life cycle costs’ of drive solutions include all of the costs which are incurred, from purchase and commissioning, use and maintenance, up to disposal. To optimise the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) NORD DRIVESYSTEMS offers individual TCO calculations, integrated concepts for costs and efficiency optimisation as well as powerful and efficient drive technology.

NORD – IE4 synchronous motors
Energy saving IE4 synchronous motors from NORD are highly efficient and meet the most stringent energy regulations, which ensures significant cost savings in the sense of TCO. Procurement, management, transportation and installation, environmental and disposal costs only account for a part of the costs for plant and machinery. Operating costs such as energy, operating materials, operation and software, storage, as well as repair and maintenance costs must also be considered. The total costs which a product generates over the course of its life cycle can be calculated with the aid of a TCO calculation.

Major cost-saving
Drive systems count as the main consumers of energy in industry. Therefore, energy consumption provides the greatest leverage for reducing the TCO. Energy saving IE4 synchronous motors from NORD are highly efficient and meet the most stringent energy regulations and thanks to PMSM technology, also in the partial load and speed ranges. This enable significant cost savings. The second largest factor for reducing costs is the deliberate reduction of the number of versions. This minimises administrative expenses and enables leaner manufacturing, logistics, storage and service processes. The necessary basic versions which are required in order to reduce the total number of versions can be selected from the extensive NORD modular system.
