NORD Drivesystems SK 02040.1 aluminium helical worm gear unit

NORD Drivesystems has redesigned its two-stage SK 02040.1 helical worm gear unit, replacing the previous cast iron product with an aluminium unit.

The one-piece die cast UNICASE housing ensures strength and rigidity, plus reduced weight. Aluminium is more corrosion-resistant than steel and can be further protected with additional measures such as the nsd tupH surface treatment.

It has a power range from 0.12 to 1.1 kW and offers an output torque of up to 100 Nm. Its wide range of speed ratios (from 5.37:1 up to 330:1) enables optimum adaptation to the user’s requirements.

It is available in a universal foot flange version and offers versatility with many equipment versions. Mounting options include flanges and torque arms.

All versions are available with solid or hollow shafts, and the motor can be mounted directly without the need for a coupling or adapter (IEC or NEMA). It can be quickly and simply configured for a wide range of applications.
