NORD DRIVESYSTEMS is one of the leading global manufacturers of mechanical, electrical and electronic drive technology. For decades, the company has designed and produced complete drive systems used in hundreds of thousands of industrial installations around the world.
The NORD portfolio covers complete drive systems, not individual components. This means the manufacturer supplies solutions consisting of gear units, electric motors, geared motors and frequency inverters, designed as one coherent system.
NORD's local presence in Poland – Nowa Sól
An important element of NORD's operations in Poland is the production and assembly plant located in Nowa Sól. It is at this location that many of the drive systems reaching both the domestic and foreign markets are manufactured and configured.
Significantly from the end users' perspective, Nowa Sól is also the home of SPEC SERWIS, which in practice means very close operational, technical and service cooperation between the two organisations. The shared location significantly shortens the path to technical knowledge, documentation and spare parts.
Long-standing relations between NORD and SPEC SERWIS
The relationship between NORD and SPEC SERWIS is not purely commercial. The SPEC SERWIS team has many years of experience gained directly within NORD structures, covering work on the assembly, commissioning and servicing of this manufacturer's drive systems.
Thanks to this, SPEC SERWIS:
- knows NORD's quality and design standards inside out,
- understands the logic of selecting gear ratios, installation positions and configurations,
- effectively supports customers as a consulting and technical partner, not merely a point of sale.
This long-term cooperation translates into real support for users of NORD drives throughout the entire service life of the equipment.
Comprehensive range of NORD drive systems
NORD DRIVESYSTEMS offers a modular drive construction system, allowing the solution to be precisely matched to a specific industrial application. The range includes both standard drives and solutions configured for specific process requirements.
NORD geared motors – the heart of drive systems
One of the key areas of the NORD range is geared motors, i.e. assemblies consisting of an electric motor and a mechanical gear unit. The manufacturer offers among others: helical inline geared motors, helical bevel geared motors, worm geared motors, and parallel shaft geared motors for restricted installation spaces.
These solutions are characterised by high power density, high efficiency and durability, which makes them suitable for continuous operation in demanding industrial conditions.
MAXXDRIVE industrial gear units
For very high torque applications, NORD offers MAXXDRIVE industrial gear units, designed for harsh operating conditions. They are used, among others, in: industrial agitators and mixers, belt and bucket conveyors, crushers, mills and rotary drums.
The design based on the UNICASE housing ensures high rigidity and a long service life of the assemblies.
Electric motors – asynchronous and synchronous
NORD produces electric motors in various versions, matched to the nature of the application: asynchronous motors for universal industrial applications, and synchronous motors with high energy efficiency, particularly valued in intralogistics and transport systems.
Smooth-surface versions are also available, intended for the food industry and applications requiring frequent wash-down.
Electronic drive technology and frequency inverters
An integral element of NORD systems are frequency inverters, available both in control cabinet versions and in decentralised versions – installed directly on machines.
NORD frequency inverters enable smooth control of motor speed, torque and direction of operation, and in decentralised versions they also offer integrated PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) control functions.
Applications of NORD drive systems
NORD solutions are designed for more than 100 industries, including:
- intralogistics and warehouse logistics,
- the food and beverage industry,
- airports and parcel sorting centres,
- artisan and industrial bakeries,
- bulk material transport,
- hoists, cranes and lifting systems.
The key advantage is the ability to precisely match the drive to the nature of the process.
The role of SPEC SERWIS in cooperation with NORD
SPEC SERWIS acts as a technical and consulting partner for users of NORD systems. The scope of support includes:
- help in selecting the appropriate type of drive,
- technical consultations and interpretation of documentation,
- support in communication with the manufacturer,
- service, inspections and operational support.
It is important that SPEC SERWIS does not replace the manufacturer, but acts as experienced technical support based on real, many years of work with NORD drives.
