NORD Drivesystems has supplied 5,300 NORDBLOC.1 design-geared motors for the Gemasolar heliostats in the south of Spain. In each of the 2,650 flat mirror units, two such geared motors enable accurate movements for two axes to track the path of the sun.
Compared to same size previous generations of one-piece housing solutions, these systems are suitable for much greater forces than before. Mounting options are user-friendly - allowing for either cost-efficient, direct motor mounting; or an attachment of very short, space-saving lightweight IEC adapters.
The gears’ aluminum housings provide natural corrosion protection out of the box – without the need for a paint finish. Based on FEM-optimised designs, these models are considerably lighter than their predecessors. For gears up to size 6, the UNICASE design enables the mounting of larger bearings – the units therefore withstand higher overhung loads, or last longer under a given load.
For even more demanding conditions than high temperatures and adverse environmental conditions, ATEX versions of all types can also be supplied.
