Small helical gearbox extends manufacturer's range

Nord Gear has unveiled a new, small, 2-stage helical gearbox that is an inexpensive extension, at the low power end, of the existing Nord range of helical gearboxes and gearmotors. Housed in a cast aluminium case of Nord's own Unicase design, the unit is robust but lightweight. Designed to be universally applied, the Unicase design is provided with B14 flanges on both sides of the output end and with machined foot surfaces at three sides.

The gear range is 3.9 to 55, delivering a maximum output torque of 90Nm.

The helical bevel boxes aid energy saving through their higher efficiency, especially when coupled with Nord's new EFF1 motors.

The helical bevel design also reduces wear when compared with less efficient and more commonly used helical worm geared motors.

Nord's helical bevel gearboxes and high efficiency gearmotors are available from the company's new 25,000 ft2 manufacturing facility in Abingdon, Oxfordshire.
