NORD Next Generation Two-Stage Bevel Gear Motors

Compact design and washdown housing option are ideal for light conveying and manufacturing

Waunakee, Wis, 2018-09-20

The next size of premium efficient two-stage bevel gearboxes from NORD DRIVESYSTEMS features a new compact, more efficient modular design. Covering applications for torques up to 443 in-lbs. (50 Nm) and offering up to 97 percent gear efficiency, the SK 920072.1 and SK 930072.1 are superior alternatives to worm gear units in light conveying and processing applications, as well as for food and beverage industries.

<h2>Housing Designs and Applications for SK 920072.1 and SK 930072.1 Gear Units</h2>

Like other NORD gearmotors, the new size comes in two housing designs – the SK 920072.1 has optimized thermal properties due to its large surface area. The SK 930072.1 is ideal for washdown applications because of its closed housing design.

<h2>Power Range, Speed Ratios, and Mounting Options</h2>

The new NORD size has a power range of 0.16 to 1.0 HP (0.12 to .75 kW) and speed ratios from 3.03 to 47.67. They provide exceptional adaptability for all mounting positions as far as input, output and motor options. Available with either NEMA or IEC input, a NORD motor or brake motor, both the SK 920072.1 and SK 930072.1 gear units are well suited for use in the material handling industry, car wash, as well as for sanitary and hygienic environments.

<h2>Benefits and Advantages of the New Gear Units</h2>

Jim Alt, Sr. Project Application Engineer at NORD, said these are the smallest size offerings for two-stage helical bevels from NORD thus far. He explained, “The SK 920072.1 and SK 930072.1 are designed for customers who need a robust gearbox for smaller applications and a more efficient and reliable solution than a typical worm unit. In addition, we expect NORD customers to see significant purchase price advantages compared to similarly-rated helical bevel gear units.”

<h2>Features and Benefits of NORD's Helical Bevel Gear Units</h2>

With NORD’s leak-free design, longer gear and bearing life, quiet operation, and precise output torque capabilities, SK 920072.1 and SK 930072.1 helical bevels deliver high efficiency operations, low maintenance, and longer service life.
