Energy-efficient drive technology

They are also suitable for use in intralogistics and hygiene-sensitive areas in the food and pharmaceutical industries. The new IE5+ motors are available in ventilated or smooth versions up to a power of 4.0 kW. They can be combined with all gear units and drive electronics from NORD DRIVESYSTEMS in a modular system. Another new product, the decentralised

At the FMB trade fair which brings together machine manufacturers and their suppliers and was held mid- November last year in Bad Salzuflen in Germany, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS presented its DuoDrive geared motor, the energy-efficient IE5+ synchronous motor, the new decentralised NORDAC ON frequency inverter as well as the NORDAC PRO SK 500P control cabinet inverter. The patent-pending DuoDrive is an innovative geared motor which integrates the high-efficiency IE5+ synchro- nous motor into a single-stage helical gear unit housing and sets new standards in terms of performance, instal- lation space and version reduction. It delivers optimised system efficiency, high power density, compact housing dimensions and low noise emissions. The elimination of many wearing parts provides for lower maintenance and, combined with the simple commissioning, this results in a significantly reduced total cost of ownership compared to existing drive systems. The IE5+ motors achieve lower losses than the IE4 series to set new standards in energy efficiency. The new permanent magnet synchronous motors achieve their high efficiency – at times significantly above efficiency class IE5 – via a wide torque range and are optimally suitable for operation in the partial load range.

The new IE5+ motors from NORD

NORDACON frequency inverter features an integrated Ethernet interface, full plug-ability and a compact design, all supporting an economical plug-and-play solution for IIoT environments. The frequency inverter can be mount- ed directly on the drive housing and covers lower power ranges of up to 1.0 kW. NORDAC ON was designed for use with asynchronous motors, whereas NORDAC ON+ is intended to be combined with synchronous motors. NORDAC PRO SK 500P frequency inverters feature a variety of interfaces and functions to suit various ap- plication requirements. Plug-in control, safety and option modules ensure maximum flexibility in a compact book- size design format for space-saving installation in control cabinets.

DRIVESYSTEMS have considerably lower losses than the current IE4 series.
