Benefit From NORD As Your Partner In Battery Cell Production

Our Portfolio and Services Deliver:

NORD solutions are engineered for durability and long service life, providing reliable operation across wide temperature ranges, high axial and radial loads, and continuous-duty applications.

IIoT-based condition monitoring provides real-time visibility into system health and supports predictive maintenance strategies. When service is needed, NORD’s 24/7 support network in more than 80 countries enables fast local response.

NORD delivers complete drive systems that combine gear units, motors, and drive electronics to provide precise torque, speed, and positioning performance.

High acceleration capability, stable operating speeds, and scalable system designs support consistent production flow. A modular product platform simplifies integration and enables complete drive solutions from a single source.

Copper- and zinc-free coatings help reduce contamination risk throughout battery cell production.

Design features such as the UNICASE™ housing and Drywell VL3 bearing for vertical output shafts help prevent leakage. Plug-and-play configurations simplify installation and help reduce the risk of assembly errors.

NORD supports a lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) through high-efficiency technologies such as the IE5+ synchronous motor, durable components, and maintenance-friendly designs.

By considering the entire drive system, NORD also helps reduce system variants and simplify inventory management, creating additional opportunities for cost savings.

No Risk of Contamination:
0% Copper, 0% Zinc With NORD

NORD brings proven experience from highly sensitive production environments. For applications where contamination must be avoided, our drive components provide advanced protection that extends beyond leak prevention.

A coating developed specifically for battery cell production eliminates the use of copper and zinc. This helps reduce the risk of ion transfer between cathode and anode materials originating from drive system components.

Key features include:

  • Coatings with 0% copper and 0% zinc
  • Replacement of galvanized components with corrosion-resistant V4A stainless steel, particularly for screws, washers, cable glands, oil fill plugs, and other components upon request
  • Fan covers manufactured from cold-rolled steel
