NORD DRIVESYSTEM's new MAXXDRIVE XD industrial gear unit is specially designed for lifting applications and optimised for downward loads.
With MAXXDRIVE XD, NORD has developed an industrial gear unit with increased centre distance that is ideally suited to the U-shaped configuration of drive, motor and cable drum.
The elongated arrangement of gear stages also enables a mechanical tailor-made dimensioning of the gear unit with sufficient centre distance – thereby avoiding an otherwise all too common overdimensioning.
NORD currently offers the new MAXXDRIVE XD in five sizes with centre distances between 509 and 963 millimetres. Also in versions with three or four gear stages. Housing dimensions and centre distance are identical for the three- and four-axle versions.
This enables customers to standardise and reduce versions when construction their cranes. Thanks to the three and four stage version, MAXXDRIVE XD covers very wide speed range with a maximum nominal gear ratio of i=355. The constant torque across the whole speed ratio guarantees a high efficiency while in use.
Additionally, housing is also available with an inspection cover, enabling a visual check of internal components without having to remove the gear unit. It is available in grey cast iron (GJL) or nodular cast iron (GJS).
