DuoDrive

NORD DuoDrive is an innovative integrated drive system that combines a high-efficiency IE5+ permanent magnet motor with a helical gear unit in one compact, single-piece housing. Breaking the traditional split design, this all-in-one solution redefines efficiency and space-saving performance for industrial applications, embodying NORD’s decades of expertise in drive technology since 1965.

As a game-changer in drive systems, DuoDrive achieves an impressive overall efficiency of over 96%, outperforming conventional motor-gear unit combinations. It covers a power range of 0.37kW to 4.0kW and an output torque range of 100Nm to 1,000Nm, with transmission ratios from 3.64:1 to 142.5:1, perfectly suited for low-speed, high-torque scenarios. The IE5+ motor’s permanent magnet technology minimizes energy loss, while the one-piece UNICASE housing ensures maximum torsional rigidity and eliminates alignment issues, reducing noise and vibration.

Engineered for durability and low maintenance, DuoDrive features precision-ground helical gears hardened to HRC58-62, ensuring smooth meshing and long service life. Its robust cast iron housing offers excellent corrosion resistance, with protection ratings up to IP66/IP69K available for harsh and hygienic environments. The integrated design simplifies installation by reducing component count, saving up to 50% of installation space compared to traditional systems.

Widely applied in conveyors, intralogistics, packaging, and food processing equipment, DuoDrive seamlessly integrates with NORD’s variable speed drives and control systems. It supports communication protocols like Profinet and Modbus for centralized monitoring, enabling predictive maintenance and energy optimization. With its combination of high efficiency, compact design, and reliability, DuoDrive delivers cost-effective, sustainable drive solutions for modern industrial automation.
