HEAVY-DUTY DRIVE SOLUTIONS

FOR WORKING ROLLER TABLE APPLICATIONS

Reliable under extreme conditons:

NORD offers robust steel industry motors
for heavy-duty working roller tables and
transportation roller tables.

tables should be selected based on the acceleration tor-
que in the application, but that torque should be adjusted Roller tables in modern steel mills often use
by a specific minimum service factor as listed below: group-driven rollers. These require special

requirements, all motors must provide
sufficient torque, be able to handle any
