Nord Drivesystems has expanded its established LogiDrive concept with new markets and products to give additional applications access to the benefits of standardised, industry-optimised geared motor versions.
With the new LogiDrive product family, the Nord offers a wide portfolio of matched drive solutions, which it says meet many different requirements and purposes – be it energy efficiency, version reduction, cost-effectiveness or flexibility.
LogiDrive is an energy-efficient, service-friendly and standardised modular system, and depending on the industry and objective, different Nord products can be combined into one drive solution, which is tailored to the respective industry standards and application requirements.
The new extended LogiDrive solution is intended for conveyor applications in the fields of post and parcel, airport and warehouse, and comprises one advanced version with IE5+ synchronous motor technology, and a basic version with IE3 asynchronous motors.
While the LogiDrive advanced drives address issues such as energy efficiency, version reduction and total cost of ownership, the company said the basic LogiDrive’s main focus is on cost efficiency.
Nord says all LogiDrive systems are efficient and extremely easy to maintain and install thanks to plug-and-play technology.
The entire system has a modular design, so that all components of the drive technology can be individually serviced. This minimises maintenance and repair costs.
“All connections are made using simple plug connections, while integrated maintenance switches and manual control switches ensure a high level of user-friendliness. Nord also supplies all the cables. Potential sources of error are thus eliminated, and commissioning is facilitated.
The compact design saves space and is light in weight thanks to the aluminium housing. Thanks to the design of the motors used and the operation on the frequency inverter, the same motor variant can be universally used worldwide.
The new LogiDrive solution comprises the following geared motor versions:
LogiDrive for post and parcel and airport
- Advanced: IE5+ synchronous motor and two-stage helical bevel gear unit or DuoDrive plus Nordac Link frequency inverter installed close to the motor.
- Basic: IE3 asynchronous motor, two-stage helical bevel gear unit and Nordac Flex frequency inverter.
LogiDrive for warehouse
- Advanced: IE5+ synchronous motor (ventilated or unventilated), two-stage helical bevel gear unit and Nordac On+ frequency inverter with integrated multi-protocol ethernet interface.
- Basic: Fixed motor-inverter combinations consisting of IE3 asynchronous motor (87Hz) and Nordac On frequency inverter with integrated multi-protocol ethernet interface plus worm gear unit.
The whole concept is designed for optimum performance, highest efficiency, and best possible user-friendliness.
Utilising the high overload capacity of the motors and the system’s wide adjustment range, all solutions are individually tailored to each customer, and specifically designed for the system’s individual load range.
