NORD: Synchronous motor with up to IE5+ energy efficiency 

By OEM Update Editorial March 31, 2022 12:38 pm IST

The new IE5+ motor generation from NORD DRIVESYSTEMS guarantees the highest levels of efficiency and operational reliability.

The NORD IE5+ motor is available at NORD in three versions: as an unventilated smooth surfaced motor; as a ventilated motor with cooling fins and as an integrated motor in the new, patented NORD DuoDrive.

The new IE5+ motor generation was designed by NORD DRIVESYSTEMS with special focus on use in the intralogistics sector as well as the food and beverage industry. The especially compact and energy-efficient synchronous motors feature a high efficiency over a wide torque range and thus also possess optimum energy consumption performance in partial load and partial speed ranges. The enormous energy saving potential becomes especially apparent in direct comparison between a regular IE3 asynchronous motor (0.75 kW, 83 % motor efficiency, right-angle gear units) and a corresponding IE5+ synchronous motor (0.75 kW, 93 % motor efficiency, right-angle gear units). Considering 16 operating hours per day (4000 p.a.) there will be energy savings of app. 400 kWh per year. Corresponds to a CO2 emission factor of 366 g/kWh, app. 0.15 t CO2 per year, per drive. Considering, that there often are more than 2,000 drives installed in one system, this amounts to a CO2 saving potential of app. 300 t CO2 per year. Due to the optimised power density, space savings of up to 40 % can also be achieved with the compact IE5+ motor compared to conventional asynchronous motors. The same installation space can also accommodate a more powerful motor with higher energy efficiency.
