Overhead Conveyor Drives
Long Lasting Performance
NORD’s overhead conveyor drives feature high quality components, heavy-duty construction, and are designed with an output mounting flange and shaft to provide easy drop-in for industry-standard footprints. These drives are also equipped with a standard VL3 spread bearing design with dry cavity that allows the drive to handle high overhung loads. With their energy efficiency and minimal maintenance requirements, overhead conveyors have a low total cost of ownership, a long service life, and provide reliable operation.

Reliable Gear Units with One-piece UNICASETM Housings
NORD heavy-duty, one-piece housings are precisely machined with internal reinforcements to increase strength and rigidity.
Large Ratio Per Gear Stage
NORD’s gear cutting technology allows for the production of gear sets with a higher maximum ratio per stage than many other speed reducer manufacturers. NORD commonly produces gear sets with a maximum ratio of between 9:1 and 10:1 per stage.
QUADRILIPTM Output Sealing
- NORD’s QUADRILIP™ Seal System prevents oil leakage from the gearbox into the assembly
- In the event any oil leak develops, oil flowing past the seals will be re-directed into the dry cavity by the output shaft oil slinger
- To detect oil leakage from the primary reducer shaft seals an oil sight glass is provided. Upon request, an optional oil proximity sensor can be supplied in place of the oil sight glass
- The large spherical roller bearing at the bottom of the assembly is protected by a grease-packed double lip shaft seal
