At SPS – Smart Production Solutions 2024, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS will highlight its latest advancements in high-efficiency drive systems. Key exhibits will focus on energy-efficient IE5+ motor technology, decentralized drive electronics with enhanced safety features, and intelligent frequency inverters. Visitors will also see updates to the NORDCON software, which offers easier parameterization and drive monitoring. With a wide range of modular products, it serves automation needs across over 100 industries, positioning itself as a forward-thinking partner in industrial innovation.
It’s IE5+ synchronous motors offer high energy efficiency and reliable performance, with power ratings from 0.35 kW to 4 kW. These motors, available in various configurations such as TENV smooth motors, TEFC motors, and integrated DuoDrive geared motors, exceed the highest efficiency standards. Their compact design and up to 95% efficiency across a broad torque range make them ideal for reducing energy consumption, particularly in partial load and speed conditions. When paired with NORDAC frequency inverters, they form one of the most efficient drive systems on the market.
NORDAC ON/ON+ decentralized drive electronics will be another focus at the event. Jörg Niermann, Marketing Manager at the company, announced that the newest NORDAC ON frequency inverters will soon feature expanded safety functionalities, including STO, SS1, SLS, SMS, and SSM, with compatibility for Profisafe and FSoE interfaces. This allows easy integration into existing Ethernet environments. These inverters, designed for power ranges from 0.37 kW to 3.7 kW, reduce wiring complexity with plug-and-play installation, making them ideal for modern production settings.
NORDAC LINK offers flexible, decentralized drive control, designed for wall-mounted installation near the motor. It’s available in IP55 and IP65 protection classes and handles power ranges from 0.37 kW to 7.5 kW. The unit’s plug-in design and integrated maintenance switch make it simple to install and service, supporting easy adaptation for various industrial applications.
For control cabinet installations, NORDAC PRO SK 500P provides a versatile solution for numerous drive applications. Available with power capacities up to 22 kW, and soon expanding to 160 kW, this compact inverter features USB, multi-encoder, and multi-protocol Ethernet interfaces, along with integrated PLC functionality for reduced higher-level PLC load. Its POSICON positioning function enhances motor control with or without encoder feedback, making it highly adaptable.
It will also present an updated version of its NORDCON software tool, which simplifies drive parameterization and monitoring. With additional features and compatibility with the NORDCON app and NORDAC ACCESS BT Bluetooth stick, the software provides a mobile, real-time overview of drive data. the company will exhibit these innovations at SPS 2024 in Hall 3A, Stand 451, in Nuremberg, showcasing its comprehensive modular product range.
