Maxxdrive XD Parallel Gear Units
NORD Gearboxes
The NORD MAXXDRIVE XD Parallel Gear Units are purpose-built for vertical conveyor applications, offering an innovative design with extended centre distances and optimised thermal performance. Unlike standard industrial gear units, the XD series was developed with a housing geometry tailored specifically for bucket elevators and other vertical systems. With torque capacities up to 282,000 Nm and a compact footprint, these gear units combine space-efficient installation with rugged durability and long service life, even under continuous heavy-duty operation. MAXXDRIVE XD delivers efficient and reliable power transmission in industries where uptime and performance are critical.
Maxxdrive XD Unit Features
MAXXDRIVE XD gear units feature a unique Unicase housing designed for vertical load direction, ensuring structural rigidity and precise alignment of all gear stages and bearings. The housing’s large centre distance and generous surface area allow for superior natural cooling, reducing the need for additional cooling equipment. Optimised axial and radial bearing spacings support high external forces commonly found in lifting and conveying systems. NORD’s modular design enables custom configurations, including mounting options, shaft designs, and input systems to suit demanding installation requirements. The gear units also support condition monitoring and smart maintenance solutions for increased operational transparency.
