Bargteheide – NORD has extended its range of industrial gear units, adding new models with maximum torques of 60,000 Nm, 90,000 Nm, 135,000 Nm and 200,000 Nm. NORD is the only supplier worldwide to construct even 90,000 Nm and beyond models according to the proven UNICASE concept. Developed by NORD in Bargtheheide in 1981, this design ensures optimal resistance against radial and axial loads. All bearing seats are integrated into a single-piece gear-case, thereby eliminating all sealing surfaces that could deflect under the effect of torque or radial forces. Narrow tolerances are ensured by machining the gear units in one setting, which results in smooth operation and extremely long lifes-pans. The gear units feature a modular design – an add-on system provides users with a wide choice of components and allows for the configuration to be quickly adapted to individual requirements. The units also offer high flexibility in choosing the transmission ratio and the position of the motor shaft. Users may use six sides and an optional flange for mounting. The wide range of additional accessories includes, amongst others, disk and drum brakes, a Drywell solution with an additional oil drip plate, an oil leak display or oil sensor and several cooling systems. The gear units can adapt a maximum output of 1 Megawatt.
