NORD DRIVESYSTEMS has introduced NXD , its latest generation of surface treatment technology, designed to provide superior protection for aluminum drive solutions. This innovative system equips aluminum components with two advanced variants of surface protection, ensuring exceptional resistance to harsh environmental conditions and delivering long-lasting performance even in the most demanding applications.
Why NXD Stands Out
NXD is a cutting-edge surface treatment solution tailored for gear units, smooth motors, and frequency inverters made from aluminum. It offers users an economical yet highly effective alternative for safeguarding drive systems exposed to extreme conditions. By eliminating harmful substances like chromates and PFAS, NXD ensures compliance with modern environmental and safety standards while extending the lifespan of drive systems.
Two Variants for Optimal Protection
NXD BASIC
The NXD BASIC variant features a galvanically applied base layer topped with an additional protective varnish. This combination ensures robust corrosion resistance, even if the varnish layer sustains damage. Designed for use in challenging environments such as offshore areas, NXD BASIC provides reliable protection against corrosion and wear.
NXD tupH (Food-Safe)
For applications requiring stringent hygiene standards, NORD offers NXD tupH , a food-safe surface treatment solution. This variant combines a galvanized base layer with a specialized sealer that prevents flaking or microcracks, which could harbor germs. NXD tupH is particularly suited for wash-down applications, where equipment is frequently exposed to acids and alkalis during cleaning and disinfection processes 6.
Even if the base layer sustains damage, the sealed surface remains intact, preventing particle shedding. This makes NXD tupH ideal for industries with strict hygiene requirements, such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, and beverage production. The solution is certified as food-safe under FDA regulations and EU Regulation 1935/2004 , ensuring global compliance.
Advantages of Aluminum with NXD
Aluminum is renowned for its lightweight, cost-effective, and fully recyclable properties, making it a preferred material for industrial applications. With NXD, NORD highlights the unique benefits of aluminum for demanding environments and hygienically sensitive production areas. Additionally, aluminum housings offer superior thermal conductivity, reducing maximum surface temperatures and enhancing overall efficiency.
Wide Range of Applications
NXD is compatible with all NORD aluminum drive components, including:
- DuoDrive Geared Motor System : A compact, integrated solution known for its energy efficiency.
- IE5+ Smooth Motors : Designed for maximum energy savings without compromising performance.
- NORDBLOC.1 Helical In-Line Gear Units : Offering high torque and reliability.
- NORDBLOC.1 Bevel Gear Units : Ideal for applications requiring precise angular power transmission.
Additionally, NORD will soon introduce the NORDAC ON PURE , a decentralized frequency inverter featuring an NXD tupH interface. This development underscores NORD’s commitment to providing complete, food-safe drive systems from a single source, catering to diverse industrial needs.
Enhancing System Availability and Reliability
By incorporating NXD into their product portfolio, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS significantly boosts the durability and availability of aluminum drive systems. Whether operating in harsh offshore environments or hygienically critical production facilities, NXD ensures that drive solutions remain resilient, efficient, and compliant with global safety standards.
With its innovative surface protection technologies, NXD sets a new benchmark for aluminum drive solutions, empowering industries to achieve higher productivity, reduced maintenance costs, and enhanced sustainability.
Conclusion
NXD by NORD DRIVESYSTEMS represents a transformative leap forward in surface protection for aluminum drive systems. By combining advanced corrosion resistance, food-safe certifications, and compatibility with a wide range of components, NXD addresses the unique challenges faced by modern industries. Whether you’re operating in extreme environments or hygienic production zones, NXD ensures unparalleled performance and reliability, making it the ultimate choice for your drive system needs.
