✅ Core Features & Unique Benefits
🔗 Worm-Direction Tail Output Shaft — The Key Differentiator
The defining feature of the NMRV-E150 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.
★ Flagship 15 kW IEC + Maximum Tail Shaft
The NMRV-E150 is the only standard aluminium worm gearbox that combines 15 kW IEC 160B5 direct flange mounting with a 50 mm tail shaft encoder output, delivering the maximum performance in the NMRV-E series.
◯ Same Torque as Standard NMRV150
The NMRV-E150 delivers identical maximum output torque (16,508 N·m) to the standard NMRV150, 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

⚙ Large Chemical Plant DCS Integration
Flagship aluminium worm gearbox with tail shaft for large polymer reactor agitator drives where the tail encoder feeds into the plant DCS providing real-time agitator speed verification.
💧 Primary Treatment Monitoring
NMRV-E150 worm gearbox for large-diameter primary clarifier rake drives where the tail shaft pulse counter provides the water authority operations centre with continuous rake-rotation confirmation.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What is the tail output shaft on the EP-NMRV-E150 and what is it used for?
The tail output shaft on the NMRV-E150 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-E150?
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 16,508 N·m, identical to the standard NMRV150.
What encoder types are compatible with the NMRV-E150 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-E150?
The NMRV-E150 accepts the following IEC input flanges: 100/112B5, 100/112B14, 132B5, 160B5. This covers the standard motor frame range for the 15 kW power class. Servo and stepper motor adaptor plates available on request.
Can the NMRV-E150 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.
⭐ Customer Reviews
★★★★★
“Our flagship NMRV-E150 drives the port grain conveyor head-end at ratio 100. The tail-shaft encoder feeds our terminal control system with belt speed data for automatic tonnage calculation. After 14 months of intensive operation, not a single maintenance issue.”
Tony V. — Terminal Engineer, Grain Export Port 🇦🇺 Australia (WA)
