Nord drives have been designed by German manufacturer, Getriebebau Nord, specifically with energy efficiency in mind. These drives, which are assembled locally by Bearing Man, ensure optimum performance of mechanical speed control in any application.

"Nord's energy efficient drives, which meet stringent local and international standards (including the European EFF1 norm and ISO 9001 specifications), have earned a reputation for reducing operating costs," says Cliftin Bower, divisional head of the geared motors division of Power Drives.
Reducing power consumption requires an additional initial investment in components and materials. These include larger copper windings and special shield metals within the stator of a three-phase motor. In many installations and particularly in fan, pump and certain conveyor applications, savings in energy expenses offset the original outlay within months.
Local assembly enables prompt delivery of these components and the ready availability of spare parts. Bearing Man's Power Drives division has made a substantial investment to ensure that assembly, stockholdings and technical back-up are in keeping with impeccable German standards. A team of technicians, with extensive experience in gearing, offers a technical advisory and support service, tailored to meet the precise specifications of contractors, designers and the end-user. The addition of Nord frequency inverters to the range enables the company to effectively solve any drive problem, while focusing on cost savings for the end user.
