High-strength aluminium alloy delivers significant savings over competitive products

Manufacturers across a several industries will benefit from NORD DRIVESYSTEM’s newest helical-worm gear unit. The redesigned two-stage SK 02040.1 is ideal for conveyors in food and beverage, bottling, manufacturing, warehousing and packaging applications.

Jim Alt, Mechanical Product Manager at NORD, said the SK 02040.1 design is a money saver. He explained, “The NORD gear unit provides nearly 900 lb-in of torque – which is ideal for countless conveyor and manufacturing applications. It can be quickly installed and offers a smart universal foot / flange housing, and accessories for foot, flange or torque arm mounting. Plus, the aluminium is more than 30 percent lighter than cast iron.”

Alt added, “By using aluminium, the NORD SK 02040.1 helical worm gear unit is priced significantly below the product it’s replacing – and we expect customers could see double-digit savings compared to competitive products.” The gear unit can also be ordered with NORD’s nsd tupH™ sealed surface conversion process, which provides comparable benefits of stainless steel at a 30-50 percent cost savings.
