Deskripsi
EP-NMRV110 Aluminium Worm Gearbox — Overview
The EP-NMRV110 is a large-frame powerhouse aluminium worm gearbox representing a large-frame unit in the NMRV series, engineered around a 110 mm worm gear centre distance. Developed to meet growing demand for lightweight, corrosion-resistant drive solutions across steel processing lines, heavy industrial mixers, and winch drives, it combines precision-manufactured worm and wheel geometry with a robust die-cast aluminium A360 housing that delivers natural corrosion resistance without the bulk of traditional cast iron. The NMRV110 accepts IEC motor flanges (90B5, 100/112B14, 100/112B5, 132B5), enabling direct motor-to-gearbox coupling without adaptors — a significant advantage for machine builders seeking compact, efficient drive packages. With output torques up to 8000 Nm and reduction ratios from 7.5–100:1, the EP-NMRV110 reliably serves steel processing and heavy industrial drives across Australia and international markets. IP65 shaft sealing, six mounting positions, and a smooth baked-enamel finish make it equally at home in food processing washdown areas, outdoor plant rooms, and demanding industrial environments.

Core Features & Benefits
◯Corrosion-Resistant Aluminium Housing
Die-cast A360 aluminium provides inherent corrosion resistance ideal for food processing washdown zones, coastal Australian sites, and humid industrial environments. The baked enamel finish adds UV protection for outdoor installations.
△IEC-Standard Motor Mounting (90B5, 100/112B14, 100/112B5, 132B5)
Hollow bore input with IEC-standard flange (90B5, 100/112B14, 100/112B5, 132B5) allows direct coupling to AC motors, servos, and stepper motors without separate adaptors, reducing installation time and eliminating alignment problems.
◆Superior Thermal Dissipation
Aluminium’s thermal conductivity (~160 W/m·K) dissipates heat up to 3× faster than cast iron, keeping operating temperatures lower and extending lubricant and seal life in enclosed machine cabinets.
■Six Mounting Positions + Three Output Options
B3, B6, B7, B8, V5, V6 mounting positions combined with solid shaft, double shaft (DZ), and output flange (FL) configurations give machine designers complete layout freedom.
▶Static Self-Locking at High Ratios
At ratios ≥ 40:1, worm geometry provides static self-locking, preventing back-drive under static load without an external brake — simplifying gate actuators, lift platforms, and positioning systems.
●Long Service Life: ≥20,000 Hours L10
Ground worm shafts, precision-hobbed phosphor bronze wheels, and preloaded bearings ensure consistent gear mesh throughout service life, delivering minimum L10 bearing life of 20,000 hours at rated load.
EP-NMRV110 vs Traditional Cast Iron Worm Gearbox
Australian and international machine builders consistently choose aluminium worm gearboxes for their combination of performance, durability, and total cost of ownership advantages over cast iron alternatives.
| Feature | EP-NMRV110 (Aluminium) | Traditional Cast Iron |
|---|---|---|
| Housing Material | Die-cast aluminium A360 | Grey cast iron GG25 |
| Approx. Weight | ~25 kg | 30–40% heavier |
| Corrosion Resistance | Excellent — inherent Al₂O₃ oxide layer | Requires coating; prone to rust |
| Thermal Conductivity | ~160 W/m·K — superior heat dissipation | ~50 W/m·K — poor heat dissipation |
| Surface Finish | Smooth baked enamel, easy to clean | Rough cast surface, hard to clean |
| Motor Mounting | Integrated IEC flange (no adaptor) | Often needs separate adaptor plate |
| Noise Level | Low — aluminium damps vibration | Higher — cast iron transmits vibration |
| Food Industry Suitability | High — smooth, corrosion-resistant | Low — porous surface, rust risk |
| IP Rating | IP65 shaft seals standard | IP54–55 typical |
| Price / Performance | Excellent — lower total cost of ownership | Higher initial & lifetime cost |

Selection Guide, Mounting Positions & Shaft Configurations
How to Select the Correct Ratio
- Calculate required output torque: M₂ = 9,550 × P (kW) / n₂ (rpm), then multiply by your service factor (fs = 1.0–2.5 depending on daily duty hours and load class).
- Find your ratio: Divide motor speed (typically 1,400 rpm) by required output speed. Select the closest ratio from: 7.5–100:1.
- Confirm torque capacity: The selected ratio’s rated torque must exceed M₂ × fs. If not, step up to the EP-NMRV130.

Frequently Asked Questions — EP-NMRV110
▶ What output torque does the EP-NMRV110 deliver for steel processing?
The NMRV110 is rated up to approximately 8,000 Nm, suitable for steel coil line feeders, rolling mill auxiliary drives, and heavy press feed mechanisms. The 50 mm output shaft with reinforced keyway handles these loads without deflection.
▶ What motor flange sizes are compatible with the EP-NMRV110?
Supported IEC flanges: 90B5, 100/112B5, and 132B5, covering 1.5–5.5 kW motor inputs — sufficient for steel processing and heavy mixing drives. Maximum input shaft radial load (Fri max) is 12,000 N.
▶ How do I order a double output shaft for the EP-NMRV110?
Specify suffix ‘DZ’ in your model number — e.g., EP-NMRV110-20-132B5-DZ. Both output shafts are 50 mm diameter with standard keyways, useful for driving paired conveyor rolls from a single gearbox.
▶ What is the maximum input speed for the EP-NMRV110?
The NMRV110 is rated for a maximum input speed of 1,400 rpm. For VFD applications, operate between 700–1,400 rpm to maintain adequate lubrication and cooling. Extended operation below 700 rpm may require supplementary cooling.
▶ How does the aluminium housing perform in hot steel mill environments?
The A360 die-cast aluminium housing withstands ambient temperatures up to 40°C with standard lubricant and up to 60°C with synthetic ISO VG 220 oil. Above 60°C, contact our team for thermal derating calculations. External fan cooling is available as an option.
▶ What are the overall dimensions of the EP-NMRV110?
Overall housing length (A) 255 mm, width (B) 295 mm, height (C) 170 mm. Output shaft length 162 mm from housing face, with a total keyway length of 249 mm. These dimensions provide direct drop-in compatibility with most competitor 110-frame worm gearboxes.
