Aluminium offers several benefits for the application in drive technology. The material is characterised by low weight, low costs and excellent heat conduction. Aluminium also has a certain amount of inherent corrosion resistance, and does not necessarily require painting. If appropriate chemicals are used, the lightweight aluminium drives are optionally available with nsd tupH surface treatment. Moreover, the smooth surfaces allow effortless cleaning. As a result, the light and highly durable aluminium drives are especially suitable for the applications in the food and beverage industry.

Among other things, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS manufactures helical and bevel gear units, as well as worm gear units and smooth surface motors from high-strength aluminium alloy at the Gadebusch factory.
