Efficiency and reliability with NORD overhead conveyors

★ By Lisa Eitel Leave a Comment

NORD-overhead-conveyor-new-for-2016All NORD products offer heavy-duty construction and high-quality precision machined components, and NORD’s overhead conveyors are no exception. With 95% efficiency and minimal maintenance requirements, the SK9055 and SK9155 have a very low overall cost of ownership while providing clean and reliable operation in automotive assembly, meat processing and many other plants around the world. These overhead conveyor drives are designed with a mounting flange and output shaft that easily drop into ‘industry-standard’ footprints.

The SK9055 and SK9155 Overhead Conveyor Drive gear units incorporate the standard NORD VL3 spread bearing design with dry cavity. This includes two main features: a spread bearing design (large output bearing span), which enables the NORD gearbox to handle high overhung loads and a dry cavity design which adds additional oil leakage protection to the system.

A developer and manufacturer of drive technology; NORD DRIVESYSTEMS employs more than 3,200 people and is one of the world’s leading suppliers of full-scale, comprehensive drive solutions. NORD’s portfolio ranges from standard drives to customized solutions for demanding application requirements, e.g. based on energy-efficient or explosion-protected drives. Subsidiaries in 36 countries around the world and an extensive distribution and service network ensure minimal lead times and provide customer-oriented services wherever needed on short notice. NORD’s wide variety of gear types covers torques from 10 Nm to 242,000 Nm and more. The company also supplies motors with outputs from .12 kW to 1,000 kW and manufactures frequency inverters up to 160 kW. NORD’s inverter line-up features conventional models for installation in control cabinets as well as design types for fully integrated drive units in decentralized automation environments.
