Nord Drivesystems is setting new
standards with regard to energy
Wefficiency of drive systems in the
food industry and intralogistics. Nord has now
integrated this high-efficiency IE5+ motor in a
single-stage helical gear unit and thus optimised
system efficiency. Compact installation space,
high power density and very low noise emissions
are only some advantages for users in the
intralogistics sector or in food and
pharmaceutical industries. offers the highest efficiency of a gear unit/motor
The new DuoDrive gear unit/motor combination in this power class on the market,
combination features high system efficiency and and achieves very high systems efficiency in the
