Support with maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures a long service life of drive systems. It would be a short-sighted strategy to only take action in case a fault occurs. The reason is that the costs for fault corrections usually exceed the saved maintenance costs.
Our maintenance services:
- Regular checks/NORD Smart Check
- Preventative maintenance
- Scheduled repairs
- General overhauls
Regular maintenance means calculable costs, high system availability and scheduled downtimes.

Preventative maintenance
During maintenance, all recommended wearing parts are replaced, and the drive is checked by experienced service technicians for faultless functioning. We point out any damage found, and provide recommendations for further action. The preventive replacement of wearing parts reduces the risk of unscheduled downtimes. This leads to the reduction of unnecessary wear on other parts, an increased system availability, and a longer product life. Maintenance is an important factor for the sustainable use of your durable NORD drive.
Scheduled repairs
During repair, a failed or conspicuous drive component (e.g. motor, gear unit or frequency inverter) is checked by NORD, and all defective components are replaced, if requested.
The repair is carried out by qualified specialist personnel using original spare parts, and comprises the cleaning and checking of all components, the replacement of damaged or worn parts, and the renewal of seals, bearings and the gear oil. On completion, a final acceptance takes place, to allow for further operation and thus a longer service life.
