Getriebebau NORD GmbH & Co. KG
About
NORD DRIVESYSTEMS, headquartered in Bargteheide, Germany, is a global drive technology manufacturer operating 48 subsidiaries across 36 countries with sales partners in over 50 nations. The company provides a comprehensive portfolio of gear units, electric motors, and variable frequency drives serving more than 100 industries, with dedicated wastewater treatment application packages. The gear unit range includes UNICASE helical inline gearmotors (10–26,000 Nm), parallel shaft and helical bevel configurations, and MAXXDRIVE industrial gear units delivering up to 282,000 Nm for large aerators, screw pumps, and thickener drives. NORD’s motor offerings encompass asynchronous and synchronous AC designs, including IE5+ high-efficiency models and ATEX explosion-proof motors for hazardous biogas and chemical dosing environments. The NORDAC drive electronics family spans the BASE series (0.25–2.2 kW compact VFDs with ATEX zone 22 capability), FLEX series (0.25–22 kW with integrated PLC and multi-protocol Ethernet), and PRO series for cabinet-mount SCADA integration with USB parameterization and multi-encoder interfaces. Proprietary differentiating technologies include the QUADRALIP multi-lip sealing system for wet environments, the SAFOMI IEC adapter eliminating external oil tanks, AUTOVENT leak-free operation for vertical and angled mounting, and the LogiDrive modular drive package combining gear unit, motor, and VFD for optimized lifecycle costs. North American operations are supported by facilities in Wisconsin, North Carolina, California, and Texas.
