NORD DRIVESYSTEMS produces more than one million stand-alone electric motors each year at its manufacturing facilities worldwide. Initially introduced to complement the company’s gear-unit portfolio, the motors are now supplied in standard and customised configurations to customers across more than 100 industries.
The company began manufacturing its own motors in 1983. Today, NORD produces asynchronous motors ranging from 0.12 kW to 55 kW and synchronous motors from 0.5 kW to 11 kW across three factories. By combining standard products with customer-specific solutions, the company serves a broad range of industrial applications, with flexibility and product availability at the centre of its manufacturing approach.

From continuous operation to explosion protection
NORD motors are used across a wide range of industrial applications. The portfolio includes energy-efficient motors designed for continuous operation in intralogistics, as well as NXD tupH-treated smooth motors for wash-down environments in the food industry. NORD also offers explosion-protected motors certified to ATEX, IECEx and HazLoc standards for conveyor systems operating in dusty or gas-filled environments.
Popular efficiency portfolio
NORD’s energy-efficiency portfolio, which includes motors rated from IE3 to IE5, is among the company’s most widely adopted product developments. The range complies with efficiency regulations across international markets. Its IE5+ permanent-magnet synchronous motor goes beyond the performance requirements of the highest officially defined efficiency class.
For customers seeking to improve efficiency during retrofits, NORD offers a straightforward upgrade path. Because the motors share identical dimensions, users can replace existing units without making major mechanical changes to their equipment.

Quickly and internationally available
With factories in Italy, Poland and China, NORD manufactures the standard and special versions at international hubs. Further motor assembly facilities are located in North and South America, India and Australia. This way, the company achieves short delivery times for national and international customer projects. NORD motors are thereby not only quickly available but immediately ready for use. The portfolio comprises motors with international approvals and acceptances. This allows for the worldwide integration of,
for example, the asynchronous UNIVERSAL motor and the IE5+ synchronous motor without any significant changes in system and machinery design. This simplifies and speeds up system commissioning.

Reliable quality
NORD manufactures its motors with great production depth. By using modern production facilities and a quality management certified according to DIN ISO 9001, the company meets its self-imposed quality standards at all locations. They apply to the motors as well as any other drive component from NORD. Whether standard or special solution – they must have a long service life and work reliably.
