The existing generation of NORD IE3 and IE4 motors already offer impressive efficiency, but the new IE5+ technology takes this one step further, delivering even more efficiency at low speeds and partial loads, resulting in additional operational cost reduction. IE5+ motors are extremely versatile and can be used for a wide range of applications including food and beverage, intralogistics, airport baggage handling, and post and parcel industries that frequently operate at partial loads or reduced speeds and may need to quickly adjust load size and speeds.

<h2>Variable Frequency Drives</h2>

NORD IE5+ motors deliver power ranging from 0.5 HP – 1.5 HP, torque ranges from 14.2 – 42.5 lb-in., and speeds from 0 – 2,100 rpm, all in a single motor frame. When these motors are combined with NORD gear units and VFDs, they become part of a complete, single-source cabinet or decentralized drive solution that is engineered for high performance. This solution offers a significant size and weight decrease over the IE3 and IE4 motors.

<h2>Total Cost of Ownership Reduction</h2>

The IE5+ series takes full advantage of NORD’s modular concept to reduce variances within a system. This helps operators reduce Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) due to reduced spare part inventory and minimize administrative expenses, as well as set up leaner manufacturing, logistics, storage, and service processes. NORD engineers work directly with customers to tailor each solution to their specific needs and they are frequently able to provide specialized, highly precise drive solutions entirely from NORD’s standard product offering, eliminating the need for costly custom components.
