FROM A SINGLE SOURCE
We set the very highest standards for the production of our drive components.
Because of this, we have established a network of production factories for
motors, gear units and drive electronics.

Advice on projects, high availability of the required drive technology, short delivery times and
rapid local service through 36 globally-based subsidiaries make NORD DRIVESYSTEMS
a flexible and dependable partner throughout the world. The NORD headquarters with our
technology and logistics centre and administration is located in Bargteheide, near Hamburg.
Housing production In addition, there are further production facilities in Germany, Italy, Poland, the USA and
China. Because we are close to the port of Hamburg and Hamburg airport, our assembled
drive units and individual components can be rapidly shipped anywhere in the world.

NORD DRIVESYSTEMS produces helical, parallel shaft, bevel gear and worm gear units
and is the only manufacturer in the world that produces large scale industrial gear units up
to 250,000 Nm as Unicase gear units. Our own gear, shaft, housing and motor production
facilities guarantees that our customers always obtain the high quality and reliable deliveries
typical for NORD. Supplemented and strengthened by our own electronics production
facilities, NORD offers customers complete sophisticated system solutions with the very
Shaft production highest levels of economy and efficiency.

NEW EFFICIENCY CLASSES FOR MOTOR SYSTEMS
The new standard
which defines the
IE classes for inverters
and IES classes for
the combination of
motors and inverters
was published at the
beginning of 2015.

Federal Environmental Agency: "The objective of the Ecodesign Directive is to minimise the
environmental effects of relevant products which are relevant to the consumption of energy over
their entire life cycle."
NORD DRIVESYSTEMS drive solutions already fulfil the stringent requirements of the new

NORD DRIVESYSTEMS
INDUSTRY 4.0 READY
We have the drive units for intelligent processes: Networked – Autonomous – Scalable.
Intelligent drive units from NORD DRIVESYSTEMS now play an important role in highly
networked systems, in order to advance the so-called fourth industrial revolution, which
focuses on the extensive exchange of information at all levels.

"NORD 4.0 READY" means that NORD drive units are networked, autonomous and scalable. The
key to this are our frequency inverters with their powerful processors and comprehensive equipment
with interfaces and functions. Frequency inverters not only monitor themselves and the motor, but
also their effect on the load situation within the plant segments and beyond.

The integrated PLC processes the data from the sensors and actuators and if necessary initiates a
sequence control and communicates high quality drive and application data to the control centre and
other networked components. For example, intelligent sequence controls can enable the drive unit
to decide independently on a branch position and act accordingly. However, the drive units can also
communicate with each other: "Attention, I am directing a package toward you; start your conveyor
belt." A slave drive can then synchronise to a master for a certain task and then return to normal
operation. Hundreds of typical functions and parameters are saved and can be simply adopted.

In this way, the frequency inverter can coordinate both simple and complex applications independently
from the plant control system and if necessary can respond to changes to the process or remedy
many process faults independently without external intervention.
