✅ Core Features & Unique Benefits
🔗 Worm-Direction Tail Output Shaft — The Key Differentiator
The defining feature of the NRV-E063 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.
🖼 Line Shaft + Master Encoder Reference
The NRV-E063 is the preferred solution for central-line-shaft packaging facilities where each station requires chain input for drive and a tail shaft encoder for PLC synchronisation.
◯ Same Torque as Standard NRV063
The NRV-E063 delivers identical maximum output torque (5,595 N·m) to the standard NRV063, 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
🖼 Print Line Master Reference Shaft
NMRV-E063 worm gearbox where the tail shaft serves as the master reference speed shaft for a multi-section printing press, providing a clean encoder signal isolated from the print-roll mechanical loads.
🌿 Precision Agricultural Seeding
Medium-duty worm gear reducer with tail output shaft for precision agricultural seeding and fertiliser application equipment where GPS-linked controllers require accurate shaft speed feedback for variable-rate application.
⚙ Automation Line Synchronisation
Industrial worm gearmotor with tail shaft for central-line-shaft automation systems where the tail-mounted tachogenerator provides the supervisory controller with a line-speed reference signal.
💧 Water & Wastewater Monitoring
Corrosion-resistant NMRV-E worm gear reducer with tail output shaft for instrumented valve actuator drives in water treatment plants, where the tail shaft pulse counter confirms valve position remotely.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What is the tail output shaft on the EP-NRV-E063 and how is it different from the main output?
The tail shaft on the NRV-E063 exits the housing in the worm-direction axis (opposite end of the worm shaft), while the main output bore is perpendicular (90 degrees) to the worm axis. The tail shaft is driven off the worm shaft end and is used for encoder mounting, tachometer connection, or light auxiliary drive, while the main output delivers the full 5,595 N·m load torque.
Does the tail shaft reduce the main output torque of the NRV-E063?
No. The tail shaft draws only the small torque needed for its connected device. The main output retains the full 5,595 N·m rating, identical to the standard NRV063.
What is the input shaft specification for the NRV-E063?
The NRV-E063 has a solid keyed input shaft (no IEC flange). The shaft diameter matches the equivalent NMRV063 bore input diameter. It accepts chain sprockets, belt pulleys, and rigid couplings. A bilateral (double-ended) input shaft is standard; single-end configuration available on request.
What encoder types can be mounted on the NRV-E063 tail shaft?
Any standard keyed rotary encoder with the matching bore diameter can be mounted on the NRV-E063 tail shaft: incremental (5V–24V, 100–10,000 PPR), SSI absolute, or resolver-type. Confirm the encoder bore size and keyway before ordering. The tail shaft key dimensions match the catalogue DZ shaft specification for NMRV-E063.
Can the NRV-E063 be used for closed-loop speed control in a chain-driven system?
Yes. The NRV-E063 is the ideal solution for chain-driven systems requiring closed-loop speed feedback. The chain drives the solid input shaft; the main output drives the load; and the tail shaft mounts an encoder that feeds speed/position data back to the controller. This eliminates the need for a separate encoder mounting bracket or a second independent encoder drive arrangement.
