NORD DRIVESYSTEMS Exhibits Innovative Solutions at AAAE

NORD’s airport industry solutions focus on high efficiency, variant reduction, and reducing operating costs.

NORD DRIVESYSTEMS is returning to the 96th Annual AAAE Conference with its innovative solutions for the airport industry. This year’s exhibition takes place in Nashville, Tennessee April 28 – May 1. Drive solutions from NORD are characterized by long service life, high efficiency, and quiet operation to transport baggage effectively and discretely from the check-in counter to the flight operations area.

NORD will be exhibiting these high-performance solutions at Booth 1121:

• IE5+ Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors: NORD’s IE5+ synchronous motors usher in a new era of high performance with one of the highest efficiencies currently available. They deliver performance of 0.5 – 5.0 hp, include an integrated encoder, and can optionally be configured with an integrated mechanical brake to provide further control of more demanding applications such as inclined conveyors;
• DuoDrive Integrated Gear Unit and Motor: The DuoDrive is part of NORD’s high efficiency IE5+ product line that combines an IE5+ synchronous motor with a single-stage helical gear unit in one compact housing. These innovative units have a power range from 0.5 to 4.0 hp, an extremely high gear efficiency of up to 92 percent, and full Plug-&-Play capabilities for quick commissioning;
• NORDAC ON/ON+ Variable Frequency Drives: NORDAC ON/ON+ variable frequency drives were developed to meet the special requirements of horizontal conveyor technology. NORDAC ON VFDs are made for combination with IE3 motors while NORDAC ON+ VFDs are optimized for high efficiency IE5+ PMS motors;
• LogiDrive® Complete Drive Solution: NORD’s LogiDrive complete drive solution reduces planning and commissioning efforts with a standardized, service-friendly system tailored to industry standards and application requirements. Advanced versions with IE5+ synchronous motors address issues such as energy efficiency, variant reduction, and TCO while basic versions with IE3 asynchronous motors primarily focus on cost efficiency;
• 1® Helical Bevel Gear Units: Made from high-strength aluminum alloy and an open housing optimized for heat dissipation, NORDBLOC.1 two-stage helical bevel gear units provide reliable, efficient operation for conveying applications with high axial and radial loads. Their long service life, quiet operation, and low maintenance requirements ensure baggage handling systems smoothly transport loads from one side of the airport terminal to the other with less downtime; and
• NORDAC PRO SK 500P Variable Frequency Drives: NORDAC PRO SK 500P control cabinet variable frequency drives offer tiered functionality with five frames sizes, performance from 0.33 – 30 hp, and extensive module options. They utilize the latest technology to provide exceptional performance with integrated POSICON positioning to precisely control conveyors and prevent baggage from backing up, full PLC functionality for drive-related functions, and an integrated multi- protocol industrial Ethernet interface configurable for each drive parameter.
