MAXXDRIVE industrial gear units from NORD Drivesystems are built to handle a wide range of heavy-duty applications. There are four different models in the product family.
These industrial drives are characterized by high output torques, extensive input options and mounting designs, and robust UNICASE housings. MAXXDRIVE units additionally offer many add-on modules for high versatility, as well as added safety measures to protect operators and equipment.
Standard, compact units include MAXXDRIVE parallel industrial gear units and MAXXDRIVE right-angle industrial gear units. Parallel units have 11 case sizes and offer a torque range up to 2,495,900 lb.-in, performance up to 8,075 hp, and 2- or 3-stage gearing options.
Right-angle units also have 11 case sizes available but in 3- and 4-stage gear reductions with output torque up to 2,301,200 lb.-in. and performance up to 2,850 hp. Both housing designs feature large roller bearings and center distances that increase load capacity and service life of components, enabling systems to operate effectively.
For applications such as agitators or mixers that require increased bearing load capacities and additional oil leak protective measures, a dry cavity and spread bearing design with reinforced output bearings is available. Various sealing options as well as cooling and heating options allow for flexible temperature management and implementation in environments with fluctuating ambient conditions.
For crane and hoist applications, NORD developed specialized MAXXDRIVE XD parallel industrial gear units. These drives deliver torque up to 2,495,900 lb.-in., performance up to 8,075 hp, and are available in 3- and 4-stage reductions that have identical housings for standardization and variant reduction.
Compared to the compact MAXXDRIVE series, these units feature a center distance increased by 35%, allowing maximum space for the motor and rope drum to be on the same side of the gearbox in a unique U-shaped arrangement ideal for lifting.
