NORD DuoDrive integrates a high-efficiency IE5+ synchronous motor into a single-stage helical gear unit. Its system efficiency of up to 92 per cent is one of the highest in the market of this power class.

The drive is suitable for use in food and pharmaceutical industries as well as in intralogistics.

DuoDrive is also ideal for use in hygiene-sensitive and harsh environments, and ensures higher system availability and low cleaning costs through lower cleaning effort.

The constant motor torque over a wide speed range allows for consistent version reduction and reduction of operating costs.

Together with the simple plug-and-play commissioning, this results in a significant reduction in the total cost of ownership in comparison with existing drive systems.

The patented geared motor is now available for powers of up to 3kW with a continuous torque of up to 250 Nm and speeds of up to 1,000 min-1, and covers gear unit speed ratios of i=3 to i=18.

Market-compatible connection dimensions facilitate the replacement and the integration into existing plant designs.

DuoDrive is compatible with NORD drive electronics and can be equipped with all common hollow shaft dimensions (20 to 40 mm) and flange versions (B5 and B14), or a torque arm. DuoDrive can be universally used with the same motor variant worldwide.

Packaging News

The World Packaging Organisation has named 234 winners for the WorldStar Packaging Awards 2026, which were selected from 481 entries submitted across 36 countries.

ACOR is calling on the Government to urgently introduce packaging reforms or risk the collapse of Australia’s plastic recycling sector and face millions of tonnes of plastic waste polluting the environment.

As 2025 draws to a close, it is clear the packaging sector has undergone one of its most consequential years in over a decade. Consolidation at the top, restructuring in the middle, and bold innovation at the edges have reshaped the industry’s horizons. At the same time, regulators, brand owners and recyclers have inched closer to a new circular operating model, even as policy clarity remains elusive.
