NORD DRIVESYSTEMS at LogiMAT 2026 will present its newest developments with which the solution provider enables greater efficiency, reliability, and flexibility. To be presented in Stuttgart: the decentralized NORDAC LINK frequency inverter with extended Ethernet and safety functions. 

From March 24-26, the focus at the trade fairgrounds in Stuttgart will once again be on intralogistics. As an experienced industry partner, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS is at the forefront when it comes to the motto of the leading international trade fair LogiMAT 2026: ‘Passion for Details – Discover the Difference’. Trade visitors can experience the drive solutions of the system supplier from Bargteheide in person in Hall 3, Stand 3C41.

NORDAC LINK: Greater Flexibility in Drive Design 

NORD will present the new variants of its decentralized NORDAC LINK frequency inverter series. They feature Ethernet on board, allowing the frequency inverters to be easily connected to existing networks. Via PROFIsafe or FSoE, they can also be integrated into a fail-safe application. STO, SS1-t, SS1-r, SLS, SMS, and SSM are integrated as drive-based functional safety. Safe digital inputs and outputs enable direct connection of fail-safe periphery components. Thanks to the CFC open-loop injection method, the NORDAC LINK also allows for encoderless control of high-efficiency permanent synchronous motors in dynamic applications.

The NORDAC LINK for wall mounting therefore provides the same functions as the motor-mountable NORDAC ON. Both are part of a new modular system with which NORD offers users a new degree of design flexibility thanks to end-to-end decentralized drive electronics for its asynchronous IE3 and synchronous IE5+ motors.

LogiDrive: Modular Drives for Efficiency 

Drive-related control with NORDAC LINK and NORDAC ON also plays a decisive role for the LogiDrive solution space from NORD. It offers two standardized modular systems that combine motor, gear unit, and decentralized drive electronics into user-friendly, low-maintenance drive solutions for intralogistics in the post & parcel, airport, and warehouse sectors.

LogiDrive Advance with NORDAC LINK and the IE5+ synchronous motor is optimized in terms of energy efficiency. The system provides high efficiency over a large speed and load range, therefore enabling variant reduction for optimized stocking of parts. LogiDrive Basic, consisting of the NORDAC ON and the IE3 asynchronous motor, is the cost-optimized variant with a compact size and high power density.

NORD ECO: Improving Drive Efficiency 

Energy and cost efficiency remain the decisive challenges in intralogistics applications. At LogiMAT, NORD will demonstrate the contribution the drive solutions can make to both new and existing installations. With its NORD ECO consultation service, the solution provider analyzes the current consumption in systems and uncovers savings potential. In this way, numerous users have benefitted from drive systems optimized by NORD.

The highest saving achieved was 1,165 kWh per year. This corresponds to the amount of electricity that could supply a single-person household for six months. With an equivalent of approximately 466 kg CO2, this represents an important step for users towards improving their carbon footprint.
