With NXD, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS has launched the latest generation of its surface treatment. The system manufacturer equips its aluminium drive solutions with two variants of effective surface protection. This makes them more resistant and ensures long-lasting performance even under demanding operating conditions.

With NXD, NORD provides an economic and effective alternative for the surface protection of drive solutions, which are heavily stressed by extreme environmental conditions. With NXD, aluminium surfaces are galvanised, making them particularly corrosion-resistant and durable. The latest generation of surface protection is available in two variants.

Effective protection with NXD BASIC® and NXD tupH®

NXD BASIC® adds a varnish to the galvanically produced base layer. Corrosion protection is also ensured in case of damage to the varnish. The variant is suitable for use in washing facilities or offshore areas, for example.

NXD tupH® adds a sealer to the base layer. This process prevents flaking or microcracks prone to germs. NXD tupH® offers safe surface protection for extreme conditions in wash-down applications. Even if damage occurs to the surface, no particles will flake off, which makes NXD tupH® surfaces suitable for use in hygienically critical industries.

Food-safe drive systems with NXD tupH®

NXD tupH® is food-safe according to, for example, FDA and EU Regulation 1935/2004. This makes components with an NXD tupH® surface suitable for the processing of hygienically sensitive products in almost every important market worldwide.

With NXD, NORD reveals the advantages of aluminium for demanding environments and hygienically critical production areas. Aluminium is lightweight, economical and fully recyclable. Aluminium housings provide better heat conductivity, thus reducing their maximum surface temperature.

NXD is available for all NORD drive components made from aluminium. The surfaces are free from chromates and PFAS.
