Two methods of surface protection

The Engines and gearbox from Nord Drive Systems are basically designed in such a way that they are efficiently protected against external influences such as moisture, splash water, dirt and aggressive media. In addition, these surface protection measures give the drive systems an aesthetic and uniform appearance.

High-solid paint to protect the environment

For the Painting uses Getriebebau Nord for the surface protection The latest generation of high-solid paint. This reduces solvent emissions well below the legally stipulated limit values. High-solid paint has a high solid content of up to 80%.

IE5 + synchronous motor for variant reduction and TCO reduction

It combines the positive emission properties of Hydro paint with the functionality of solvent-based coating materials. In addition, the lower solvent content of the paints of only approx. 20% allows very short drying times in production. This is a decisive advantage over water-based paints.

Powder coating for the electrical industry

For the electrical industry the drive specialist offers the robust and durable powder coating. With this coating, the surfaces treated in this way are more scratch-resistant, shock-resistant and abrasion-resistant, as well as more weather and chemical resistant. In addition, this surface coating is even more robust than the conventional Nord paint. The antistatic properties of the electrically conductive powder coatings also prevent static charging of the drive technology. Business failures are reduced to a minimum. Powder coatings are also free from solvents.

Surface finishing as an alternative to stainless steel

For particularly high demands on surface protection, Nord has the Surface finishing NSD TupH designed. A special process makes the surface corrosion-resistant and harder. The aluminum becomes as corrosion-resistant as stainless steel.

Frequency converter innovations: decentralized, networked with app and much more.

The surface refinement, which cannot be confused with a coating, creates a surface that is permanently connected to the base material protective layer on the surface. Nothing can peel or flake off. Any damage remains local and does not spread. The salt spray test in the video shows the efficiency of the refinement.

The drive technology can easy to clean and is largely insensitive to acids and alkalis. Even contact with aggressive media or the use of high pressure cleaners cannot harm these surfaces.

A NSD-Tuph treatment is available for most of the drives from the modular system Aluminum casing such as worm, spur and bevel gears, Smooth engines as well as various decentralized frequency converter and motor starters.

Applications for NSD-Tuph surface refinement

The surface finishing is suitable for hygienically sensitive applications ind the Food industry, Process engineering or the pharmaceutical industry. Typical applications are in pumps, conveyor belts, mixers or agitators, water and sewage systems as well as car washes or as corrosion protection for geared motors, as the following video shows:

The NSD-Tuph procedure is in accordance with FDA Title 21 CFR 175.300 for Beverage and food applications authorized. As a long-lasting and low-maintenance alternative to stainless steel drives and painted models, drives with NSD Tuph save considerable costs in the long term, according to the manufacturer. Smooth motors with the NSD Tuph surface finishing can be found e.g. B. Use for dry areas in the food technology, beverage and pharmaceutical industries.

Abrasion-resistant metal and plastic painting with open air plasma

A good example of the use of the NSD Tuph drives are numerous conveyor lines in a company Oyster farming. While geared motors, even gray cast iron, can only be used for one to two years due to the progressive corrosion in this harsh, saltwater-containing environment, the aluminum drives usually completely outlive the ten-year life cycle of the conveyor belts they drive.

Which surface protection is optimal for the respective application depends primarily on the environmental and operating conditions of the drive solutions. Of course they advise Experts at Nord their customers in their choice. The drive specialist illustrates the details in a white paper.
