In the early 1980’s, NORD engineers developed one of the most important innovations in gearbox contruction: the UNICASE housing. This housing is a one-piece housing that supports all transmission components. The benefits of this design are leak-free sealing, greater operational reliability, low noise, higher output torque, high overhung and thrust capacity, longer maintenance intervals, and longer overall gearbox life. UNICASE housings quickly established themselves on the market and today it is still the industry standard for drive solutions.

Early on, NORD recognized the value of modular design to gain maximum configurations from the smallest number of components. Soon after the UNICASE housing was developed, NORD was once again established as the innovative leader in the power transmission industry with the introduction of our flexible, highly-configurable gearbox designs. Paired with our custom electronic control solutions, short lead times, and fair pricing structure, NORD continues to lead the way in product innovation and customer satisfaction.
