With the acceleration of global industrialization, the development of the steel industry, as an important pillar of basic industry, has a direct impact on economic growth and social progress. In an environment of increasingly stringent environmental regulations, rising energy costs and increased market competition, steel companies must look for efficient, reliable and environmentally friendly drive solutions that increase productivity, reduce energy consumption and reduce emissions.
Against this market backdrop, NORD Drives offers innovative solutions for the steel industry thanks to its extensive experience in the field of drive technology, taking into account the harsh conditions in steel production, such as high temperatures, dust, vibrations, etc., to ensure the stable operation of equipment under harsh working conditions.
A. Logistics Applications
Different logistics applications require different geared motors, ranging from precision mechatronic drive systems to high-power industrial geared motors. NORD DRIVESYSTEMS offers tailor-made solutions for many types of intralogistics applications.
l Cranes
l Ladle car
l Roller changing trolley
l Warehousing system
B. Continuous casting section
Continuous casting processes often face high temperature environments as well as installation space constraints.
l Generally, (right-angle shaft) bevel gear reducer is used
l H-class insulated motor is recommended
l Fanless cooled IC410 motor or externally forced-cooled IC416 motor
l High temperature resistant lubricating oil and fluoroelastomer seal
C. Heating furnace
NORD DRIVESYSTEMS offers suitable drive systems for a wide range of furnace systems, such as preheating furnaces, heat treatment furnaces and walking furnaces.
l IC410 annular heat sink motor
l ISO H insulation rating
l High ambient temperature
l Independently controlled roller table
l Multiple roller tables are optimized and synchronized
D. Hot rolling
Drives used in the hot rolling process must be able to withstand harsh environmental conditions and unusual operating patterns, heavy peak loads and high temperatures.
l IC410 annular heat sink motor
l Long stall time
l ISO H insulation rating
l High acceleration
l Bidirectional reversible mode operation
E. Cut line
Shear line drive solutions such as cutting head shear and trimming shear are mainly composed of a combination of a fanless motor and a parallel shaft reducer with a large bore hollow shaft.
l High number of cycles
l High acceleration
l High shock load
F. Processing Lines
Many geared motors are used, for example, in hardening, coating and galvanizing lines and can be adapted to the aggressive conditions that are prevalent in these applications.
l Drives for a wide range of speeds
l Drive unit with heavy-duty encoder and brake
l Special coating
l Multiple roller tables are optimized and synchronized
