How we find your solution

NORD sets everything in motion

NORD offers a wide range of centralised and decentralised drive electronics. The NORDAC PRO, NORDAC ON, NORDAC FLEX, and NORDAC LINK frequency inverters are an integral part of our modular product range. With these, supplemented by the motors and geared motors from the NORD modular product range, we develop a system solution for every motion task in your application – from energy-efficient load control in conveyor technology to precise dosing in bottling plants and scalable functions in packaging processes.

Your advantages:

  • NORDAC fits into any system concept. The great strength of NORDAC frequency inverters: They are available for all mounting types (control cabinet/field/motor mounting) and for all common communication protocols. This enables seamless integration into existing systems.
  • The frequency inverters provide value-added functions. The NORDAC portfolio offers a wide range of embedded features. Functions such as the POSICON positioning mode or the on-board PLC enable your drive solution to take on tasks that would otherwise be performed by a higher-level control or additional peripheral components.
  • We make you future-proof. NORDAC is always state-of-the-art. We are constantly developing the portfolio in close cooperation with our customers. You thus benefit from drive solutions that comply with the latest communication and safety standards – and impress with user-friendly functions.

For us, drives are more than just their power. Our strength lies in well-designed complete solutions that are precisely tailored to the application. This is also reflected in our portfolio of various drive components, for example drive electronics: With its wide range of features and our technical expertise, we can tailor a system solution precisely to your needs.

Proven in more than 100 industries

Are you missing the link between the requirements of an application and the right drive solution? We fill this gap. With our technical advice and expertise, we have already implemented drive concepts for a wide range of industries:

Maximum adaptability

Why can we do this? Because we can rely on a portfolio that always has the right solution at hand.

  • NORDAC frequency inverters are flexible in use. They are available for control cabinets ( NORDAC <i>PRO</i> ), for field installation ( NORDAC <i>LINK</i> ), and for motor mounting ( NORDAC <i>ON</i> and NORDAC <i>FLEX</i> ). Wwe can serve any system architecture.
  • NORDAC frequency inverters are compatible. Ethernet protocols such as PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, and EtherCAT can be easily set via parameters. Installation therefore takes very little time.
  • NORDAC frequency inverters always fit. You get drive solutions with motors, gear units, and drive electronics from NORD – completely from a single source.

Technologically advanced

What can you rely on? That our development never stops. That's why we are always ready to meet changing requirements. What you can expect in the near future:

  • The NORDAC ON PURE is a decentralised frequency inverter for wash-down areas. It is equipped with the food-compliant NXD tupH® surface treatment, and features a smooth, rounded housing design and a reduced number of connectors.
  • The power range of the compact NORDAC PRO control cabinet inverters will be expanded from 22 kW to up to 160  kW, offering even more application options.
  • The NORDAC LINK is getting a facelift, making it even more user-friendly and powerful.

Allow me to introduce: NORDAC

What is behind our drive electronics? A powerful portfolio comprising four product families under the name of NORDAC:

  • NORDAC <i>PRO</i> – for control cabinet installation. Its strengths: multi-protocol Ethernet interface, multi-encoder interface for multiple axis operation
  • NORDAC <i>LINK</i> – for field installation. Its strengths: simple installation and maintenance thanks to full pluggability
  • NORDAC <i>FLEX</i> – for motor mounting. Its strengths: modular design for variable adaptation to any application, scalable functionality, flexibility in installation and assembly
  • NORDAC <i>ON</i> – for motor mounting. Its strengths: multi-protocol Ethernet interface, plug-and-play functionality for low wiring and maintenance

Ready for use in your solution: New NORD features

Our latest developments expand the functional range of our drive electronics for your application.

<h3>CFC open-loop injection</h3>
This innovative process also makes sensorless control accessible to dynamic applications. It can be used for drive systems with permanent magnet synchronous motors without encoder feedback, and offers impressive overload capacity and dynamics. With an overload capacity of 150% and reduced ramp times, applications with frequent load changes can also do without encoders. This saves weight and simplifies commissioning.

<h3>Condition monitoring with NORD DRIVE MONITOR</h3>
The IIoT solution makes it possible to determine and evaluate drive parameters and status data via the integrated PLC of a NORDAC frequency inverter. The data can also be made available to the users' central systems. Important information for predictive maintenance can be derived, thus enabling proactive maintenance of machines and systems, reducing downtimes, and increasing overall system efficiency.

<h3>Functional safety</h3>
The functional safety of NORDAC frequency inverters will be gradually expanded and extended to additional communication protocols. The next step will be to add new safety functions to NORDAC ON: In addition to STO and SS1, it will then also be available with SLS, SMS, and SSM. Based on the Profisafe and FSoE interfaces, integration into existing Ethernet environments will also be possible, as will be use as a stand-alone solution.
