NORD expands geared motor same-day assembly service
Nord Drivesystems is expanding its fast assembly service for ATEX geared motors to include Gas Zone 1 & 2 and Dust Zone 21 & 22 for nominal motor power ratings up to 18.5 kW. The geared motors are available with a wide selection of options for standard delivery within 3 days or, for very urgent requirements, a same-day assembly and despatch service. The 94/9/EC-compliant range options include temperature class to T4 (135degC) and both non-conductive and conductive dusts.
The ATEX classification 2G/Zone 1 geared motors available from the UK assembly service suit IEC frame ATEX-rated motors in both standard and IE2 high-efficiency classes, for frame sizes 80 through 180. Geared units include a broad selection of foot and B14 or B5 face mount versions with a wide choice of motor mounting positions. With torque output from 32 to 3200Nm, options include synthetic and food grade oils, Viton seals and backstops. Motor options include a wide choice of voltages, thermistors, IP66 sealing, encoders and auxiliary fans.
Nord SK 200E decentralised frequency inverters are also suitable in ATEX classification 3D/Zone 22 in IP55 & IP66 enclosures, available with output ratings up to 22 kW.
Nord also supplies a complete programme of geared motors for more demanding ATEX Category 2D and 3G/Zone 2 applications that are available with quick turnaround from its German manufacturing facilities. Covering EX d & de pressurised encapsulation, EX e increased safety and EX n non sparking motors, a range of options are available including pressure-resistant encapsulated motors, motor brakes, special voltages, reinforced gear unit bearings, and many more.
In addition to the fast turnaround service for Category 2 ATEX geared motors, Nord also offers a rapid assembly service across its full range of NORDBLOC.1 and UNICASE geared motors from its Abingdon facility, including helical bevel and helical worm designs spanning output torque from 90Nm to 3200Nm.
