NORD Drivesystems will once again exhibit at FMB in Bad Salzuflen. As 'The Supplier Show for Mechanical Engineering' FMB addresses the entire spectrum of machinery and plant engineering, where drive technology plays a central role. Product highlights presented by NORD include a new synchronous motor that achieves a significant improvement in energy efficiency, a new generation of control cabinet inverters and a PROFIsafe module for the functional safety of plant and machinery.

The energy-efficient latest generation permanent magnet synchronous motor has considerably lower losses than the current IE4 series. The unventilated smooth motor achieves its high efficiency that, at times, is significantly above efficiency class IE5 via a wide torque range ? and is optimally suitable for the operation in the partial load range. The compact IE5+ motor offers a high power density with less installation space and will be initially launched in a size for power ranges from 0.25 to 1.1 kW with a continuous torque from 1.6 to 4.8 Nm. The motor concept will be gradually extended with more sizes and powers. It is ideal for use in hygiene-sensitive and harsh environments because it is easy to clean, corrosion-resistant and wash-down capable. The nsd tupH surface treatment and IP69K protection class are available. As standard, an encoder is installed in a damage-proof housing; a mechanical brake is optionally integrated. The new IE5+ motor can be combined with NORD gear units and drive electronics as a modular system and will be available from the second quarter of 2020.
