The Nord GBN IE2 180 is a three-phase induction motor from the GBN series. The rated output is 22 kW. The motor is four-pole, which at 50 Hz gives a synchronous speed of 1,500 rpm. The housing is frame size 180 L in foot-mounted form. The protection class is IP55 and IP56. The efficiency is 92.2 per cent at full load, 92.9 per cent at 75 per cent load and 92.7 per cent at half load. Mounting arrangements to IEC 60034-7: B3, B5 and B14. Stated countries of manufacture: China, Italy and Germany. The values are recorded in the Australian MEPS registration under the GEMS Determination 2019; measured to AS/NZS 1359.102.3:2000. The GBN series covers 31 models. Rated output within it ranges from 0.75 to 55 kW; the GBN IE2 180 sits in the lower part of that range with 22 kW. Its immediate neighbours are the GBN IE3 180MP below it with 18.5 kW and the GBN IE3 225RP above it with 30 kW. 40 Nord models across 2 series are on record.

NORD GBN – register of IE2/IE3 three-phase motors from Getriebebau NORD: 31 versions, 0.75 to 55 kW, 2- to 4-pole, voltages from 220/400 to 400/690 V, made mainly in Italy

The GBN range at NORD (Getriebebau NORD, Bargteheide) covers three-phase IEC standard motors, used either as standalone motors or to drive the company's own gearboxes. The model name carries the efficiency class directly: GBN is followed by IE2 or IE3, then the IEC frame and winding code, for example GBN IE2 100LH2 for the older efficiency class in frame size 100 or GBN IE3 225MP for the newer IE3 version in frame size 225.

The register lists here 31 versions with 0.75 to 55 kW, two- to four-pole, with full-load efficiencies from 79.64 to 94.6% and at 75% load from 80.15 to 95.03%. The motors are built for voltage combinations such as 400/690 V or 230/400 V, protection ranges from IP55 to combinations with IP66, and manufacturing according to the register is mainly in Italy. Sixteen of the 31 versions carry the High Efficiency Level 2005 classification, the rest without one; testing followed the GEMS determinations of 2019 with test methods A, B and 2-1-1B.

As a gearbox drive and as a standalone motor, GBN competes in the industrial segment with the standard-motor ranges of ABB, Siemens and WEG; the consistent IEC frame size allows replacement independent of the gearbox maker. The registered voltage combinations from 220/400 V to 400/690 V show the design is matched to different national grids.

When buying used, what matters is the condition of bearings and shaft seals, a checked insulation resistance of the winding, visible corrosion or overheating marks on the terminal box, and a legible nameplate with frame size, efficiency class (IE2/IE3) and voltage. When paired with a NORD gearbox, it is also worth checking the key and coupling; spares run through the NORD sales network.

Frequently asked questions

How much power does the Nord GBN IE2 180 have?

The Nord GBN IE2 180 delivers 22 kW.

What to check before buying

  • Match the data plate against the order: frame size, mounting and rating have to agree.
  • Check the ingress rating against the installation site — outdoors or in dust the demands differ.
  • Hold the mounting form and dimensions against the existing seat before ordering.
  • The pole count sets the speed — when replacing an older unit, compare this first.
  • For used units, ask about winding condition and bearing play.
  • Ask about parts availability for this series — the running costs hang on it.
