NORD Drivesystems NORDAC FUSION drive solution

NORD Drivesystems has released NORDAC FUSION, which combines asynchronous motors (IE3) and permanent magnet synchronous motors (IE5+) in ventilated and unventilated versions with a decentralised NORDAC ON frequency inverter.

The company says that due to the optimal electrical and mechanical adjustment of both components, NORDAC FUSION achieves higher power density, while keeping the installation space as small as possible, and that users will benefit from a ready-to-use system that operates reliably once connected. This fusion of motor and drive eliminates extensive parameterisation or time-consuming selection of components.

The optimised motor/inverter combinations cover a power range from 0.31 to 3.7 kW. They feature consistent safety and communication properties, are suitable for worldwide use, and can be complemented with a gear unit from the manufacturer’s modular product range.

The decentralised frequency inverters are characterised by their compact design, full plug-in capability and high reliability. Special features include the integrated PLC and their multi-protocol Ethernet interface. Profinet, EtherNet/IP and EtherCAT can be easily set via parameters. Integrated safety functions enable safe operation of almost all motion sequences in automated production.

Apart from STO and SS1, the NORDAC ON series also features the motion monitoring function SLS, SMS or SSM for failsafe control. They can be integrated via PROFIsafe or FSoE into a failsafe application within an existing industrial Ethernet network and standalone use is also possible. The safe digital inputs and outputs can be used to incorporate failsafe peripheral components or functions.
