As a major supplier of large gear units, NORD Drivesystems offers high-performance industrial power transmission solutions for elevated torque and power ratings. With several years of experience across all industry sectors, NORD application experts help users to choose and adapt suitable drive systems. Large-scale gear units from NORD are used extensively for example in conveying applications for chain or belt conveyors, freight lifts, agitators and many other applications. NORD supplies complete drive systems including a motor, brake and clutch. Users can select any standard motor and choose from a wide range of brake and clutch types. The systems are available with a frame or a swing base. In some applications, industrial gear units from NORD can replace or complement the large-scale gear units.
