NORD DRIVESYSTEMS offers a special treatment with nsd tupH that makes drive surfaces with aluminum housings exceptionally corrosion-resistant, similar to stainless steel. This is not a coating, but a treatment based on an electrolytic process that creates a protective layer that is permanently bonded to the substrate material. So nothing can detach or flake off. Drives with the nsd tupH surface treatment are largely resistant to acids and alkalis, and easy to clean. nsd tupH advantages over stainless steel include being more cost-effective, available for a larger product range made of aluminum, having greater thermal conductivity and ensuring lower temperatures in the gear unit/motor components, and being lighter than stainless steel.

The company offers nsd tupH for a wide range of industries. The surface treatment is not only optimally suited for the use in hygienically critical areas in the food, beverage, packaging, pharmaceutical, or chemical industry, but also for applications in extremely humid environments, for example in car wash facilities or waterworks, or in maritime and coastal areas.

“The nsd tupH surface treatment has already proven its quality in numerous practical applications in food and pharmaceutical companies”, says Jörg Niermann, Head, Marketing, NORD. “In a company that processes seafood and shellfish , the technology has proven itself under especially hard conditions.” Here, salt water takes its particular toll on the drive components, so that the previous cast-iron versions had to be replaced after one or two years. The nsd tupH-protected units, however, have been used for a long time now.
