Innovative drive concepts from NORD More efficiency in warehouse automation E-Commerce is booming and so is warehouse automation. Flexible warehouse systems are also in demand in large grocery chain warehouses, and require environmentally friendly, sustainable and intelligent drive concepts. Drive specialist NORD DRIVESYSTEMS is highly familiar with the industry’s requirements and offers a variety of dynamic drive solutions which are suited for various applications and requirements in warehouse logistics. NORD offers customised drive solutions for warehouse logistics for an optimum compromise between investment, operating and maintenance costs. With motor efficiency class IE4 and system efficiency class IES2, the drive units achieve excellent efficiencies – especially in the partial load and speed range. The latest generation IE5 permanent magnet synchronous motors achieve an even higher energy efficiency and significantly reduces the energy consumption. The constant torque over a wide speed range allows for a targeted version reduction. This minimises administrative expenses, and enables leaner manufacturing,
NORD offers customised drive solutions for warehouse logistics for an optimum compromise between investment, operating and maintenance costs. The compact, smart frequency inverter for decentralised use can be mounted directly on the geared motor. It covers lower power ranges of up to 2.2 kW and has an energy-saving function in the partial load range. The integrated

asynchronous motors, high-efficiency synchronous motors and brake motors. It can be installed close to the drive in the field or motor-mounted. Power and data cable connections are available as plugin versions. The decentralised system enables short motor and encoder cables as well as short supply cables to sensors. Encoder feedback can be included, for example, for position-controlled transport systems. The large overload capacity of the NORDAC FLEX SK 205E makes dynamic movements with short start and stop times or cyclic operation possible. The integrated POSICON control enables high precision in synchronous and positioning applications.
MODULAR SYSTEM FOR OPTIMAL DRIVE SOLUTIONS Overall, NORD convinces with a wide range of products in the field of warehousing, including both established basics and high-efficiency products. Users benefit from tailored and reliable drive solutions which ensure an optimum system availability. The NORD modular drive system thus enables an optimum compromise between investment, operating and maintenance costs. www.nord.com
