According to recent data, Centaur uses the heaviest duty gearbox
in the Industry! Not only is it the heaviest duty gearbox
in the industry, it one of the most reliable & dependable ones
on the market!
We only use Nord gearboxes, with Nord motors. By using the
same manufacturer for both the motor & gearbox, we avoid all
the those little bugs and/or glitches, that can happen when you
try to mate two different manufacturers products together. Nord's
gearboxes and motors are designed to work together, making a safer,
stronger & more reliable product.
Below is some information on why we at Centaur choose Nord, over
all the other gearbox & motor manufacturers in the world, to
go into our Equinecisers.
 
| UNICASE™
NORD heavy-duty, one-piece housings are precisely machined to
exacting standards. Internal reinforcements further increase
strength and rigidity. All bearings and seal seats are
contained within the casting, eliminating splits or bolt-on
carriers that can weaken the housing and allow oil leakage.
Bores and mounting faces are machined in one step, producing
extremely precise tolerances - thus ensuring accurate positioning
of gear teeth, bearings and seals, and longer life for
all components. BENEFITS
- No
leaks! Seals and shafts operate without pumping oil
- Quiet
operation
- High
output torque capabilities
- Extended
lubrication life
- Longer
gear and bearing life
- Superior
dependability/low maintenance/longer life
FACTORY OIL-FILLED
Oil fill before shipping prevents damage from dry start-ups.
BENEFITS
- No
need for filling onsite
- Ensures
proper oil grade and fill level
QUADRILIP™ SEALING
Three
seal lips plus a grease-filled chamber between the seals!
Protects inner oil seal-lip from damage and external contamination.
High-quality seals and garter springs guarantee tight chucking
around smooth, plunge-ground shaft surfaces. NORD's precise
machining and careful assembly guarantees long, trouble-free
operation.
BENEFITS
- No
leaks - seals' OD/ID are concentric and will not pump
oil.
- Longer
shaft life: grease lubricates seal surface and separates
it from the shaft with .0001" oil-film barrier
- Longer-lasting
seals, cleaner gearbox oil
HIGH PERFORMANCE MOTORS AND BRAKEMOTORS
NORD motors are designed to run cool for longer service
life. Low rotor inertia and high starting torque allow
peak performance in the most difficult applications for
inverter and vector duty per NEMA MG 1-1998 Section 31.4.4.2
voltage spikes. Our motors are internationally accepted,
conforming to North American NEMA MG 1 and international
IEC electrical specifications. High performance options
include brakes, encoders, and forced cooling fans.
BENEFITS
Inverter/Vector
Duty
Compact,
energy-efficient designs
Long
service life High start-stop capacity
US/Canadian/International
voltages and frequencies
AUTOVENT
Prevents
bearing damage by impeding entry of foreign material
(water, dust, corrosives, etc.) through breather plugs.
Ball-and-spring check valve opens at 2 psi during operation
and closes tightly when gearbox cools, producing a
slightly negative pressure that keeps the valve seal
tight. Keeps water out of oil to maintain viscosity
and prevent contamination, foaming and oxidation. A
brass canopy protects valve elements - perfect for
humid conditions, washdown applications, and dusty
environments
BENEFITS
- Cleaner
gearbox oil
- Extended
lubrication life
- Longer-lasting
seals, gears, and bearings
HIGH-QUALITY

ENERGY
EFFICIENCY
Lowering
your operating costs is one of our greatest goals!
NORD research and development focuses on energy efficiency,
with gearboxes, motors, and frequency inverters designed
for lower energy consumption. Our fully diverse line
of in-line or right angle units and motors has been
developed to suit your needs.
STAINLESS STEEL PAINT
The
standard NORD protective finish - not really a paint,
but a resin with 316 stainless steel.
BENEFITS
- 40%
greater impact resistance
- Tough
industrial primer
- Resistant
to most solutions and cleaning solvents
- USDA
approved for food processing (incidental contact)
