Just the gear to drive powerful conveyor belts
The two-stage MAXXDRIVE XT right-angle gear units from NORD are said to be well suited for belt conveyor systems in heavy-duty applications, especially those in the bulk material-handling industry. They are available in seven sizes for powers from 50 to 1,500kW with output torques between 15 and 75kNm. These units from NORD are stated to have a high thermal load capacity without external cooling and thanks to a ribbed design, together with axial fans and air guide covers, they can operate without the need for additional cooling.
Large roller bearings and centre distances increase the load capacity and service life, says the company, and an application-optimised two-stage right-angle gear unit that is especially suitable for belt conveyor systems and can be individually tailored to a particular application. The power and speed range has been designed for industries where low speed ratios are required in combination with high power output. This is the case, for example, for systems in the bulk material and mineral industry. Here, especially robust options are required which are resistant to dirt and remain reliable in rough operating conditions.
The matched modular system for NORD drive systems is based on the company's range of frequency inverters, motors and gear units, as well as coupling and braking systems - each with a wide variety of options and features. Whether in belt conveyor systems, mixers, mills, sorting drums or crushers, MAXXDRIVE industrial gear have been proving themselves in heavy-duty applications for more than ten years. In general, NORD produces geared motors for horizontal and vertical conveyor systems in a one-piece housing design that tolerates very high transverse forces and torque loads. This also applies to very powerful industrial gear units up to 250,000Nm which are required where conveyor inclines are steep and high material quantities need to be transported. A shaft axis offset allows for a very compact design and the use of larger roller bearings helps ensure a longer bearing life.
