HIGH PERFORMANCE GEAR SOLUTIONS MEET THE DEMANDS OF MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY AND THE FOOD INDUSTRY
Manufacturers today face various challenges – from shortage of skilled labour, decarbonisation, and climate protection, to global uncertainties and geopolitical tension, cost explosions, and growing regulatory requirements. This makes it all the more important for companies to develop their own capacities for innovation and invest in future-safe technologies. To meet the challenges, Nabtesco Precision Europe is continuously developing and expanding
its spectrum of solutions and services. Two areas in which the company is focussing is medical technology and the food industry – with solutions including high-torque cycloidal gears, zero backlash strain wave gears (from Ovalo), digital innovations or entire mechatronic systems. On the basis of Nabtesco’s extensive
precision portfolio with complete scalability from seven to 28,000 Nm, technological competence and an in-depth understanding of applications,
the company implements technically and economically optimised gear and drive solutions for robots, cobots, machines and plants. “For well over 35 years, we have been a
reliable partner in helping our customers to grow their businesses, and robotics is still our core market. In addition to excellent performance in robots, however, our drive systems also enhance peripherals and numerous other high-tech applications. We want to continue expanding this area in the future,” explained Daniel Obladen, director sales & marketing at Nabtesco Precision Europe. “We see great potential, for example, in
medical technology and the food industry. The excellent performance, good cleanability, high overload capacity, and superior flexibility of our precision gears unlocks tremendous potential for efficiency here,” he continued. According to Nabtesco, it is the only company
to offer suitable precision gear solutions for every axis and every application – from very small to extremely large. The result is a seamless gear strategy and optimally coordinated systems. “The combination of strain wave and cycloidal
gears produces impressive precision and allows an extremely compact design. For our customers, that means maximum performance, more efficient processes, perfect compatibility, and optimal cost-effectiveness,” explains Obladen. Customers also benefit from a product design that is compatible with large-scale production, exceptional production capacities, and worldwide availability with fast delivery.

INDUSTRIAL GEAR UNITS FOR CRANE AND CARGO APPLICATIONS
In addition to motors and drive electronics, the MAXXDRIVE industrial gear units from NORD DRIVESYSTEMS are the centrepiece of the crane and cargo portfolio. For example, the MAXXDRIVE XD and MAXXDRIVE XJ are industrial gear units optimised specifically for use in cranes. Cranes are highly complex transport systems in which the motion sequences of lifting, travel and cross-travel running gears are sometimes superimposed. NORD modular products allow users to create suitably dimensioned drive solutions consisting of efficient motors, scalable drive electronics and powerful MAXXDRIVE industrial gear units. The company developed the MAXXDRIVE XD industrial gear unit specially
for lifting gears. The housing design of the helical gear unit is precisely matched to the typical installation situation and occurring loads; and an elongated arrangement of the gear stages enables a U-shaped drive design with rope drum and motor on the gear unit side. The unit series features a centre distance of up to 1281mm. The MAXXDRIVE XJ industrial gear unit is ideal for use in travel and
cross-travel running gears, with its special feature being the J-shaped shaft arrangement. This combines an elongated arrangement of the gear stages with a vertical drive shaft. As a result, the helical bevel gear unit extends the scope for system design and provides a space- saving gear unit design for confined installation spaces. All industrial gear units of the MAXXDRIVE series are based on NORD’s
torsionally rigid UNICASE housing. For MAXXDRIVE XD and MAXXDRIVE XJ, the robust design was optimised for downwards and external loads. The gear unit design can be tailored to the specific application

requirements with optional accessories such as drum couplings for rope drum drives or brake consoles. Jörg Niermann,
head of marketing at NORD, takes up the story: “From our modular products and with our industry expertise, we can develop tailor-made drive solutions for any type of crane system. This enables us to offer our users three decisive advantages. On the one hand, the energy-efficient motors and optimum control via drive electronics from NORD
ensure CO2e-reduced operation. On the other hand, the maximum centre distances of the MAXXDRIVE XD and MAXXDRIVE XJ implement optimum weight and size utilisation. Finally, tailor-made drive solutions from NORD realise a cost-optimised crane design.”
