Efficient integrated gearmotors power intralogistics application

November 6, 2019 By Lisa Eitel Leave a Comment

The intralogistics industry is a fastest-growing market — and one motion-component supplier aims to address the industry’s unique needs. “Three of the world’s top five material-handling suppliers use NORD drive technology, and we have long-term supply agreements with two of the suppliers,” says NORD Gear Corp. president and CEO Torsten Schultz

One solution for intralogistics is the NORD LOGIDRIVE — a high-efficiency gearbox integrated with an IE4 permanent-magnet synchronous motor and decentralized variable frequency drive. The VFD and IE4 motor support large speed ranges through a single gearbox-and-motor combination.

The decentralized drive units are also service friendly thanks to plug-and-play technology. The modular design means all of the integrated motor’s components can be individually serviced — in turn minimizing maintenance and repair costs. With an aluminium housing and compact design, the integrated motor is also lightweight and unobtrusive.

NORD’s LOGIDRIVE solution delivers integrated drive technologies for manufacturing and warehousing.

Another option for intralogistics applications is a line of two-stage helical-bevel gearmotors paired with VFDs for distributed control.

In fact, Melbourne, Australia-based systems builder BCS Group recently employed these motors in a new material-handling facility run by freight-transport service provider Toll IPEC. The facility is capable of sorting an impressive 35,000 parcels per hour. A facility of this size requires an extensive conveyor system to move parcels around the facility. BCS chose upwards of 1,000 of NORD’s 92.1 series two-stage helical-bevel gearmotors with integrated ac drives to get the job done.

NORD’s product portfolio is extensive and continuously evolving in order to meet the needs of today’s fast-changing markets. NORD’s range of drive equipment includes helical-inline gearing, helical shaft-mount gearing, helical-bevel gearing, helical-worm gearing, worm gears, and large industrial gearboxes. NORD products deliver torque from 90 to 2,200,000 lb-in. and the manufacturer’s ac electric motors are rated from 1/6 to 250 hp. Its VFDs are rated to 250 hp. For more information, visit nord.com.
