NSD TupH, a breakthrough in protection at a molecular level.

As a leader in the power transmission industry, NORD Gear is committed to providing value to industries where end users demand durable equipment to withstand a variety of harsh environments. The market has long awaited a product with such a large range of standard reducers with the corrosive resistance properties of a stainless steel product without the excessive cost.

In response to these demands, NORD Gear has begun utilizing an electrically catalyzed process to create a uniform case depth protective surface with its existing aluminum alloy housing material. Combined with a sealer, NORD’s corrosion resistant cleanable Sealed Surface Conversion system (NSDtupH) allows existing aluminum alloy housings to be protected with a base finish that is 6-7x harder than aluminum alloy. With its stainless steel hardware, optional stainless steel shafts, optional stainless steel motors and optional food grade lubricants, NORD’s NSD TupH is the optimal package for applications in a variety of incredibly harsh environments.

: Surface Comparison

On an original painted aluminum surface the paint simply lies on top of the aluminum substrate and may even bridge across pores in the metal. Since paint does not form a permanent bond to the substrate, it can easily release at very low stress levels.

The NSD TupH process includes a base layer that is permanently bonded to the aluminum substrate and provides a powerful foundation for adhesion of the surface sealant. This foundation provides excellent roughness, is 6-7x harder than the aluminum substrate and up to 1000x harder than paint.
