Overhead conveyor drives

September 25, 2024

Overhead conveyors drives are part of NORD’s modular product system, offering flexible input options, quiet operation, and industry-standard footprints for easy drop-in replacement.

Overhead conveyor drives from NORD DRIVESYSTEMS are engineered with long-lasting performance and durability in mind. They feature high quality components, heavy-duty construction, and an output mounting flange and shaft for easy drop-in replacement of industry-standard footprints. These characteristics make overhead conveyor drives an ideal solution for meat and poultry processing, automotive assembly, and other manufacturing systems where utilization of vertical space is required.

As a standard, each drive is outfitted with a VL3 spread bearing design with oil safe dry cavity that enables high overhung loads and thrust loads to be efficiently absorbed, extending bearing life and reducing maintenance. In addition to the dry cavity, overhead conveyor drives are also equipped with an optimized oil leakage protection system with QUADRILIP seals to further protect the internal gearing. In the event an oil leak develops, oil flowing past the seals is redirected into the dry cavity by the output shaft oil slinger. An oil sight glass comes standard, but an optional oil proximity sensor can also be incorporated to quickly indicate the oil level of the gear unit.
