Nord launches Universal Motors with powers from 0.12 to 45kW
Nord is introducing its new class-leading Universal Motor, with 20 models in the range and power ratings from 0.12 to 45kW.
The Nord Universal Motor is certified to CE, UL, CSA, CCC and EAC and meets appropriate minimum efficiency levels to ensure suitability for markets including Europe, USA, Canada, Russia, China and others. The motor is also certified by Bureau Veritas for marine and offshore applications. The three-phase Nord Universal Motor can be used with four standard voltage supplies noted on the motor nameplate: 380V 50Hz, 400V 50Hz, 415V 50Hz and 460V 60Hz; additionally, it can be used at 440V 60Hz and 480V 60Hz. The Nord Universal Motor is also inverter rated for constant-torque speed ranges of 5:1 to 1000:1 and comes complete with thermistor protection.
Available in four-pole configuration, the robust motors come in IEC frame sizes from 63 to 225, with B3 foot, B5 flange or B14 face mounting; to suit the USA market it can be supplied as NEMA C-face and NEMA foot mount versions. The motor can also be directly mounted to Nord gearboxes to provide a compact and more efficient drive unit.
As standard the motor is protected to IP55, is Totally Enclosed Fan Cooled (TEFC) and has Class F Insulation with windings that conform to NEMA MG 1-2009 Section 31.4.4.2 with regards to protection against voltage spikes.
For those looking to deploy Nord Universal Motors in demanding operating conditions you can rest assured that you have chosen a high-specification motor with standard features such as lip seals on both ends of the motor shaft, gaskets between stator body and end covers, double-coated magnetic wire insulation and the final stator dipped in moisture-resistant varnish.
Other options available for the Nord Universal Motor include quick connectors, single or double protection canopies, space heater, spring-applied brake and forced ventilation. If required, the motor enclosures can also be protected to IP66, which means they are dust-tight and protected against heavy seas or powerful jets of water.
The new range of energy-efficient, high-quality Universal Motors from Nord is available now.
