Overview of NORD UNIVERSAL SMI Worm Gearmotor (Low Voltage)

The NORD UNIVERSAL SMI Worm Gearmotor (Low Voltage) combines prominent advantages of hygiene compatibility, structural durability, and flexible adaptability, tailored for low-voltage industrial scenarios. Its aluminum housing, paired with optional nsd tupH surface treatment, forms a smooth, corrosion-resistant surface that resists acids, alkalis, and high-pressure washing, complying with FDA standards and IP69K protection requirements for hygienic environments.

Covering 0.12–4.0 kW power and 21–427 Nm torque, it features five size options with hollow/solid shaft configurations and bolt-on, flange, or foot mounting, enabling seamless integration into diverse equipment layouts. The worm gear design ensures low-noise operation (≤65dB) and inherent self-locking performance for vertical load safety, while permanently grease-lubricated components minimize maintenance needs and extend service life. Its modular structure allows easy pairing with low-voltage control systems, enhancing operational flexibility.

Widely applied in food processing, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries, it excels in wash-down scenarios like conveyor lines, filling machines, and packaging equipment. It also suits light material handling and medical auxiliary devices, leveraging compact design and low-voltage reliability to optimize space and safety. By balancing hygienic performance, easy maintenance, and versatile installation, it reduces lifecycle costs and ensures stable operation in demanding low-voltage workflows. (Word count: 400)
