Transition notices

NORD 2019 single-stage line transition2019-08-05

NORD introduced SK 871.1, SK 971.1 and SK 1071.1 while discontinuing SK 41E and SK 51E. NORD states that the new units offer an output-shaft choice intended to match legacy customer shaft sizes. This is a group-level transition notice, not a one-to-one interchange claim.

Manufacturer notice ↗

This preserves the manufacturer’s group-level statement without asserting a one-to-one interchange. Verify the exact configuration before purchase.

Cross-reference

Replacement candidates

No verified one-to-one replacement relationship yet.

Manufacturer transition notices are kept separate from exact compatibility so a group-level product transition is never presented as a drop-in replacement.

Interchange check

What must match before substitution

6 checks

Ratio / speedConfirm the replacement produces the required output speed at the actual input speed.

Torque / dutyVerify continuous and peak torque, service factor, shock loading, starts per hour, and thermal duty.

Output geometryMatch shaft or bore diameter, key/spline/bushing, output side, usable length, and allowable overhung/thrust loads.

MountingCheck foot pattern, flange pilot/bolt circle, center height, torque arm, and mounting position.

Input / motorConfirm motor frame, adapter, input shaft or quill, power, brake, encoder, voltage, and frequency.

EnvironmentVerify lubricant, washdown/corrosion requirements, temperature, ingress protection, and hazardous-area needs.
