With high thermal limit powers, Maxxdrive XT industrial gear units have been optimised for bulk logistics applications such as belt conveyor systems.

With regard to the requirements for conveyor technology drives in the bulk goods and mineral industries, Nord Drivesystems specially developed the Maxxdrive XT industrial gear unit. It provides output torques of 15 to 75kNm with speed ratios from 6.3 to 22.4 and is offered in seven sizes for powers from 22 to 2,100 kW.

The power and speed ranges of the two-stage right-angle gear unit have been specially designed for industries in which low speed ranges are required in combination with high powers – such as the bulk goods and mineral industries. Its robust design makes the Maxxdrive XT resistant to dirt and reliable in rough operating conditions. A special sealing concept reduces maintenance. Large roller bearings and centre distances increase the load capacity and service life of the components.

As standard, the industrial gear unit is equipped with a heavily ribbed Uunicase housing and an integrated axial fan. Due to the increased surface and the airflow covers, the cooling airflow is optimised and a very high thermal limiting power is achieved. In many cases, additional cooling is not required.

“As with other application areas, our drive solutions for the industry are individually configured for customers according to the modular principle,” comments Jörg Niermann at Nord Drivesystems.
