LogiDrive – Cost reduction thanks to standardisation
Different gear units and motor types, sizes, options and gear ratios often result in a large variety of drive versions – a considerable cost factor. NORD DRIVESYSTEMS answers to this concern with its LogiDrive standardised IE4 geared motor version to ensure optimised processes and reduced costs.
The LogiDrive drive unit from NORD DRIVERSYSTEMS consists of an IE4 synchronous motor, a two-stage helical bevel gear unit and a NORDAC LINK field distributor. These systems are highly efficient and thanks to Plug & Play technology, they are maintenance-friendly and result in a considerable reduction of spare part stock. The standardised geared motor variants are specially designed for intralogistics and airport technology with a compact design for space saving. It’s lightweight aluminium housing enables weight savings of up to 25%.
With a power rating of up to 5.5 kW, the inverter is equipped with a mains switch, a key switch to isolate the drive unit from the system controller and a direction selector switch for local installation mode. AS-i and all common fieldbus and industrial Ethernet interfaces can be integrated. With class IE4 motor efficiency and system efficiency to class IES2, the drive units achieve excellent overall efficiencies - especially in the partial load and speed range.
In addition, these units are equipped with the safety functions, STO and SS1, according to DIN EN61800-5-2 and DIN EN 60204-1 and have a high overload capacity. As the system for conveyor technology has a modular structure, all drive technology components can be serviced individually to reduce the service and maintenance costs associated with intralogistics.
LogiDrive drive technology is suitable for horizontal conveyors, inclined conveyors and vertical conveyors. Thanks to extensive certification, LogiDrive systems can be installed without problems, worldwide!
