High-efficiency, low-maintenance drives
02 February 2017
Nord Drive Systems now offers standardized drive units in three highly efficient and easy-to-service versions for typical requirements in conveying applications.

The line-up of LogiDrive systems enables a quicker selection of the suitable drive for a given application and allows for reducing the variety of versions to a manageable few. IE4 synchronous motors with 1.1 kW, 1.5 kW, and 2.2 kW rated power are combined with two-stage helical bevel gears for speed ranges of 0-565 rpm (size 1) or 0-482 rpm (size 2 and 3).
The transmission is continuously variable in the range from 1 to 500. Distributed frequency inverters for installation on the conveyor frame near the motor ensure optimum accessibility. They feature a key switch for disconnection from the plant control system and a direction switch for local set-up.
LogiDrive systems are designed for horizontal or inclined conveyors. They integrate the safety functions STO and SS1 according to DIN EN 61800-5-2 and DIN EN 60204-1. The motors feature a high overload capability. The system is
- Smart drive resolves blockages on its own
