Nord

NORD Drivesystems is one of Europe's leading manufacturers of drive technology, specializing in asynchronous and synchronous drive systems, reducers, frequency inverters, and decentralized drive units. The company, founded in 1965 in Bargteheide, Germany, delivers complete drive solutions for virtually every industrial application. At Verkopershulp.nl, more than 898 NORD products are available for direct delivery.

NORD's core product is the compact gear motor from the NORDBLOC.1 family. These modular drive units combine helical, bevel and coaxial gearboxes with high-efficiency IE3 and IE4 electric motors in a broad range of power classes and gear ratios. Thanks to the UNICASE housing concept, where the entire gear drive is housed in a single precision cast enclosure without weld seams or parting surfaces, maximum rigidity and sealing performance is guaranteed even under heavy combined radial and axial loads.

NORD frequency inverters and motor starters provide energy-efficient speed control of electric motors. The NORDAC series encompasses compact inverters for motor-mounted decentralised installation as well as central control cabinet controllers covering power ranges from 0.25 kW to 160 kW. Integration of safety function profiles (STO, SS1, SLS per SIL 2/PLe) makes these inverters suitable for machines with elevated functional safety requirements under IEC 62061 and EN ISO 13849-1.

For food processing and hygiene-sensitive applications, NORD offers the dedicated FOOD line featuring electropolished stainless steel surface finishes, hygienic FDA-compliant seals, and NSF H1-certified gear lubricants. The smooth external geometry minimises residue retention and facilitates cleaning. These drive systems comply with the strict requirements of EHEDG guidelines and withstand high-pressure wash-down procedures.

Decentralised drive concepts such as the NORDAC LINK and NORDAC ACCESS are mounted directly on the motor, eliminating central control cabinets and long motor cable runs. This dramatically simplifies installation of large numbers of drives in conveyor systems, sorting installations and automated warehouses. These units support PROFINET, EtherCAT and other Ethernet fieldbus protocols for seamless integration into modern automation architectures.

At Verkopershulp.nl we offer the complete NORD range, including spare parts, oil service kits, brake components and drive accessories. Our technical team assists with correct power and ratio selection, mounting configuration, and identification of replacement parts for existing NORD installations.

History

NORD Drivesystems was founded in 1965 by Günter Nord in Bargteheide, near Hamburg. The company started as a small manufacturer of reducers and grew through continuous product and quality development into an international corporation with production facilities in Europe, America and Asia. In 1975, NORD introduced the UNICASE principle, in which the gearbox is manufactured in one casting without weld seam or sealing surfaces, a revolutionary improvement in reliability and ease of maintenance that remains the NORD housing philosophy to this day. In the 1990s, NORD expanded into frequency inverters and decentralized drive systems. Today, NORD has more than 4,000 employees worldwide and delivers its products to customers in more than 98 countries through a broad distribution network of more than 1,000 dealers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the UNICASE principle of NORD reducers? ▾
The UNICASE principle means that the entire gear drive is housed in one solid cast iron or aluminum enclosure, without weld seam or separating surface. This provides maximum rigidity, excellent sealing, and longer service life, even under high radial and axial loads.
Which NORD gear motors are available at Verkopershulp.nl? ▾
We carry the complete NORDBLOC.1 family, including helical foot-mounted reducers (SK 0182-SK 12382), helical bevel reducers (SK 0282-SK 12382), worm reducers (SK 1SI-SK 10282), and coaxial reducers. Powers range from 0.12 kW to 200 kW and beyond.
Are NORD frequency inverters suitable for use in food processing environments? ▾
Yes, NORD offers the NORDAC FLEX series in IP66/IP69K protection class with stainless steel enclosures, specifically designed for intensive cleaning processes in the food and beverage industry. These inverters are certified for use in EHEDG and NSF regulated environments.
How do I choose the right NORD gear motor for my application? ▾
The choice depends on the required shaft power, output speed, mounting configuration (foot, flange, shaft), and environmental conditions. Our technical team is happy to help you with selection based on your operating data such as speed, torque, and service factor.
Do you also supply NORD spare parts and oil service kits? ▾
Yes, Verkopershulp.nl delivers bearings, gaskets, seals, and drive oils for NORD reducers. For periodic maintenance, complete oil service kits are available that greatly simplify the oil change process for your reducers.
Can NORD drive systems be configured for functional safety (SIL/PLe)? ▾
Yes, NORD NORDAC FLEX and NORDAC LINK frequency inverters support safety functions such as STO (Safe Torque Off), SS1, SS2, and SLS in accordance with IEC 62061 and EN ISO 13849-1 up to PLe/SIL3. This makes them suitable for machines with elevated safety requirements.
How quickly are NORD parts delivered through Verkopershulp.nl? ▾
Parts in stock are shipped the same business day when ordered before 4:00 PM. Delivery in the Netherlands is typically within 1-2 business days. Specialized or non-standard configurations may take 5-15 business days through the NORD factory.
Does NORD also offer decentralized drive technology? ▾
Yes, the NORDAC LINK and NORD ACTIVE LINE series are decentralized motor-mounted inverters that are installed directly on the motor. This eliminates long cables to central control cabinets and simplifies the installation of multiple drives in large-scale conveyor and logistics systems.
