In the early 1980’s, NORD engineers developed one of the most important innovation in gearbox contruction: the UNICASE housing. The UNICASE housing is a one-piece housing that supports all transmission components. The benefits of this design are, leak-free sealing, greater operational reliability, low noise, higher output torque, high overhung and thrust capacity, longer maintenance intervals and longer gearbox life. The UNICASE housing quickly established itself on the market and today it is still the industry standard.
