NORD DRIVESYSTEMS OFFERS
INDUSTRIAL GEARS WITH THE WORLD’S LARGEST UNICASE HOUSING
Every application has its own unique requirements
and this is most evident in the heavy-duty industry.
Components and units required for heavy-duty
applications are exposed to harsh environments
and need to be robust to ensure a long-service life
and reliability.
In addition, extremely high output torques, cost
effectiveness and quiet running are also key prerequisites
for companies operating within these
environments. When looking for an industrial gear
drive to best match a heavy-duty application, it’s
imperative that companies turn to trusted brands
who truly understand the environment and the
exact application, to avoid any costly downtime.
With the company in operation for more than half
a century, Nord DriveSystems offers trusted gear
units for various industries and applications, and
the Nord MaxxDrive is no exception. This industrial
gear unit provides high output torques from
15,000 Nm to 250,000 Nm and is ideal for applications
such as agitators, conveyor belt drives,
mixers, mills, drums or crushers.
Martin Broglia of Nord DriveSystems elaborates
on its industrial gear units, saying: “Downtime in
heavy-duty industries is extremely costly. Over the
years, Nord DriveSystems has continuously seen
success with its industrial gear units - available as
helical gear units or bevel gear units.
“In addition, Nord is the industrial gear unit
manufacturer with the world’s largest industrial

Nord’s industrial gear units are designed with the
customer in mind to meet the key requirements
of flexibility, durability and long-service life. Martin
elaborates, saying: “Our units have optimized
geometries for excellent load capacity, low noise
and of course, a long service life. They are very
robust thanks to high quality, low friction bearings
and the UniCase housing makes them extremely
durable. They are also flexible as they can be
paired with any of Nord DriveSystems’ electric
motors”.
