Energy efficiency is an ever growing concern and a focus point in the manufacturing and material handling portions of the supply chain; not only to reduce cost and time, but also to help protect our environment.
NORD Gear Corporation manufactures gearmotors, electric motors, speed reducers and AC Vector Drives. All which provide a safe, reliable and efficient solution to your drive system needs. In 2015, NORD released a new 2-stage bevel series; the SK92.1 and SK93.1. With gear efficiencies up to 97%, these helical bevel gearmotors can result in as much as a 30% energy savings.
Typical right angle worm reducers range in efficiency from 40% to 90% depending on size, ratio and output speed. It’s easy to replace an inefficient standard worm unit with NORD’s highly efficient and cost effective 2-stage helical bevel by utilizing NORD’s worm replacement footplate and universal shaft. The footplate, which drops into all standard worm mounting footprints, is available with either threaded or through holes and an optional extended design.
When compared to single worm units on the market, NORD’s 2-stage bevel drives have several other advantages such as a wide range of available ratios; a UNICASETM, quiet, leak-free housing design and wear-free infinite life gearing. NORD’s 2-stage bevels paired with NORD’s decentralized or cabinet mount AC vector drives and energy and premium efficient motors truly results in a premiere system. As energy costs continue to rise and natural resources become scarcer, consider NORD in your next energy efficient solution.
