NORD DRIVESYSTEMS IE5+ synchronous motor

NORD DRIVESYSTEMS has developed a synchronous motor with high energy efficiency (IE5+). It is a supplement to the standardised geared motor variants of the LogiDrive systems and is particularly useful for reducing the number of variants, making it suitable for use in intralogistics.

The energy-efficient permanent magnet synchronous motor has lower losses than the current IE4 series. The unventilated smooth motor achieves 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 motor offers a high power density with low installation space and will be initially launched in a size for power ranges from 0.35 to 1.1 kW with a continuous torque from 1.6 to 4.8 Nm and speeds from 0 to 2100 min^-1. Direct motor attachment as well as NEMA and IEC motor attachments are available. An integrated encoder and an integrated mechanical brake are optionally available.

Due to constant torque over a wide speed range, the IE5+ motor allows a targeted reduction of variants. This should minimise administrative expenses and enable leaner manufacturing, logistics, storage and service processes. It can be combined with NORD gear units and drive electronics as a modular system.
