Condition Monitoring for Predictive Maintenance 

For condition monitoring, drive and status data are recorded periodically or continuously to optimize the operational safety and efficiency of machines and plants. Condition monitoring provides valuable information for predictive maintenance with the goal to service equipment proactively including avoidance of unplanned downtimes, early detection and avoidance of undesired operating conditions, time-based maintenance replaced by status-based maintenance and more. On November 9 from 12:15 – 12:30 pm Central Time, NORD experts will walk attendees through the core concepts of condition monitoring and the cost-saving benefits of this technology. Q&A to follow.

LogiDrive with IE5+ Motor Technology

The NORD LogiDrive solution is a complete decentralized drive package that greatly reduces engineering and commissioning efforts. With this modular system, the number of variants can be minimized, making it easier to maintain and saving Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) costs for the operator. LogiDrive systems include: a high efficiency NORD gearbox, IE4 or IE5+ permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM), Decentralized variable frequency drive (VFD), Power plug connector, M12 signal connectors, Incremental encoder, Pre-assembled cable, high overload capacity, standardized hollow bore or solid shaft diameters, efficiency at partial load and low speeds. On November 10 from 2:45 – 3:00 pm Central Time, NORD experts will provide an overview of this solution with Q&A to follow.

Nsd tupH Stainless Steel Alternative

Need the protection of stainless steel, but want a more cost-effective solution for your washdown or other extreme environment applications? NORD’s patented nsd tupH sealed surface conversion system gives you the protection of stainless at a fraction of the price. This process conforms to FDA Title 21 CFR 175.300 and is ideal for the food and beverage, dairy, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries. NORD puts a solid, one-piece aluminum case through a chemical process that converts the surface and becomes 6-7 times harder than the original aluminum alloy. This converted outer layer is extremely durable and will not propagate damage or scratches. Paired with the company’s stainless steel hardware and shafting, a unit treated with nsd tupH is comparable to the durability of an all stainless steel unit, but is considerably lighter in weight and is able to dissipate more heat during operation. On November 11 from 2:30 – 2:45 pm Central Time, NORD experts will walk attendees through the benefits of the nsd tupH surface conversion system with a Q&A to follow.
