NORD Gear Corp.: Size 14 large industrial gear units

NORD Gear has expanded its Maxxdrive large industrial gear unit product line to include the case size 14: the new size bridges the gap between the existing size 13 and 15.

The size 14 Maxxdrive has a ratio range from 20:1 – 400:1 and a max torque of 1,885,000 in-lb. Available in both parallel shaft and right angle design, the large industrial gear units offer a unique combination of flexibility and durability for the most demanding high-torque applications. High ratios are possible by combining Maxxdrive with NORD’s Clincher or Helical-Bevel series to create a compound unit. With dedicated product specialists on staff in Waunakee, WI, NORD provides knowledgeable and prompt support from design, engineering and assembly.
