Overview of NORD MAXXDRIVE® XT High-Torque Right-Angle Gear Unit

The NORD MAXXDRIVE® XT High-Torque Right-Angle Gear Unit excels with integrated advantages of structural robustness, thermal efficiency, and installation flexibility, tailored for heavy-duty industrial scenarios. Its signature UNICASE™ one-piece cast iron housing eliminates component misalignment, boosting torsional rigidity and load-bearing capacity—paired with large roller bearings, it reliably delivers up to 260,000 Nm torque and 1.5–4,000 kW power, outperforming standard right-angle gear units in continuous high-load operations.

Ribbed housing, axial fans, and air guide covers optimize heat dissipation, ensuring stable performance without derating under extreme loads. Precision bevel gears enable quiet, smooth 90-degree power transmission, while advanced sealing systems extend lubricant life and prevent leakage, reducing maintenance frequency and costs in dusty, humid environments. Its symmetrical design supports six mounting positions, and modular compatibility with drives, brakes, and couplings simplifies integration into existing systems, with optional ATEX compliance for hazardous areas.

Widely applied in metallurgy, mining, and bulk material handling, it powers rolling mills, conveyors, and heavy mixers—tasks demanding high torque, space-saving right-angle transmission, and durability. It also suits logistics and chemical industries, adapting to vertical, horizontal, and flange mounting needs. By balancing thermal resilience, low maintenance, and versatile installation, it enhances productivity and lowers lifecycle costs, becoming a trusted solution for demanding heavy-load workflows.
