## Power Extension for High-Efficiency Drives

NORD Drivesystems has enhanced its IE5+ synchronous motor series, which offers high efficiency, with a new size. These compact permanent magnet synchronous motors have now been extended up to 11 kW of power.

NORD's IE5+ permanent magnet synchronous motors achieve consistently high efficiency of up to 95% across a wide torque range, significantly reducing energy and resource consumption in industry. With the new power range, the motors cover various applications from 0.35 kW to 11 kW and continuous torque from 1.6 Nm to 43.9 Nm.

High overload capacity, a wide adjustment range, and constant torque performance up to 2400 rpm enable variant reduction in application, simplifying administrative, production, and logistics processes. This provides significant advantages, especially in large intralogistics systems where numerous drives are used.

### NORD IE5+ Motor Features

• Power range: 0.35 kW - 11 kW
• Continuous torque: 1.6 Nm - 43.9 Nm
• Maximum speed: 2400 rpm
• Efficiency: Up to 95%
• 8-pole IPM (Internal Permanent Magnet Motor) design
• Material savings with reduced active motor component sizes
• Stator production with single-tooth winding, reducing copper usage

### Energy Efficiency and Material Savings
IE5+ motors perform above the defined highest energy efficiency class, significantly reducing energy consumption and CO2 emissions. The innovative motor technology concept combines energy and material efficiency, providing a dual advantage in terms of sustainability.

### System Solutions from a Modular System
NORD drive solutions are custom-designed and suitable for global use. IE5+ motors can be directly connected to the gearbox with an integrated motor encoder, mechanical brake, and various flange mounting options. Furthermore, within NORD's modular system, compatible drive systems are created with electric motors, gearboxes, and frequency inverters (e.g., NORDAC ON). This combination increases operational efficiency for businesses while reducing the total cost of ownership (TCO) and ensuring a quick return on investment (ROI).
