✅ Core Features & Unique Benefits
🔗 Worm-Direction Tail Output Shaft — The Key Differentiator
The defining feature of the NMRV-E050 is its additional tail output shaft that extends in the same direction as the worm shaft axis. This second output enables simultaneous drive of two independent loads from a single gearbox — a primary application drive via the main output bore and a secondary auxiliary drive (encoder, tachometer, small pump, or fan) via the tail shaft.
🅆 VFD + Encoder in One Unit
The NMRV-E050 works seamlessly with VFD-driven IEC motors while the tail shaft simultaneously provides speed/position feedback, creating a closed-loop VFD-gearbox-encoder assembly without external sensor brackets.
◯ Same Torque as Standard NMRV050
The NMRV-E050 delivers identical maximum output torque (4,280 N·m) to the standard NMRV050, confirming that the tail shaft adds zero performance penalty on the main output. The tail shaft is driven directly off the worm shaft end, not the output stage.
🅆 Encoder & Feedback Ready
The tail output shaft provides a direct connection point for rotary encoders, tachogenerators, and pulse generators that monitor worm shaft speed in closed-loop motion control systems, eliminating external encoder brackets and coupling hardware.
🚫 IP54 — Dual-Seal Integrity
Both the main output bore and the tail shaft exit are sealed with dual-contact lip seals, maintaining IP54 protection across all mounting orientations without oil weeping at either shaft interface.

🏭 Application Scenarios
🚮 Closed-Loop Conveyor Control
NMRV-E050 worm gearbox for heavy conveyor drives where the tail shaft mounts a tachogenerator providing speed feedback to a VFD controller, enabling precise belt speed regulation under variable load.
⚙ Industrial Mixer Monitoring
Heavy-duty worm gear reducer with tail output shaft for industrial mixer drives where the tail shaft speed signal monitors worm shaft rotation, detecting stall conditions in high-viscosity batches.
💧 Water Treatment Instrumented Drives
Aluminium worm gearbox with tail shaft for slow-speed filter screen and sludge scraper drives where a tail-mounted pulse counter provides the operations team with real-time rotation confirmation.
📦 Print Line Register Control
Worm gear reduction gearbox with tail output for gravure printing press section drives where the tail shaft encoder provides master-line speed reference for digital register control systems.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What is the tail output shaft on the EP-NMRV-E050 and what is it used for?
The tail output shaft on the NMRV-E050 is a secondary shaft extending in the worm-direction axis (co-axial with the worm shaft, opposite end). It is used to mount rotary encoders, tachogenerators, or pulse generators for speed/position feedback, or to drive a small auxiliary load such as a lubrication pump, cooling fan, or pilot valve simultaneously with the main output drive.
Does the tail shaft affect the main output torque of the NMRV-E050?
No. The tail shaft is driven directly off the worm shaft end and carries only the small torque required for the encoder or auxiliary device. The main output bore delivers the full rated 4,280 N·m, identical to the standard NMRV050.
What encoder types are compatible with the NMRV-E050 tail output shaft?
The tail shaft is a standard keyed shaft accepting any incremental or absolute rotary encoder with the matching bore size. Common options include 5–24V incremental encoders (100–10,000 PPR), SSI absolute encoders, and resolver-type feedback devices. Confirm the encoder bore and key dimensions with the encoder supplier before ordering.
Which IEC motor flanges are available for the EP-NMRV-E050?
The NMRV-E050 accepts the following IEC input flanges: 63B5, 63B14, 71B5, 71B14, 80B14. This covers the standard motor frame range for the 1.1 kW power class. Servo and stepper motor adaptor plates available on request.
Can the NMRV-E050 tail shaft be used to drive a secondary load simultaneously?
Yes, provided the secondary load torque on the tail shaft does not exceed the worm shaft’s additional torque capacity. For light-duty secondary loads such as small lubrication pumps (below 0.05 kW) or pilot valves, the tail shaft can be used simultaneously without affecting main output performance. Consult our engineering team for secondary loads above 0.05 kW.
