NMRV Series

Double Reduction Worm Gearbox

Two worm stages in series for very high reduction in one drive.

Double-reduction units built by coupling two worm gearboxes through a machined adaptor. Ratios run from 100:1 to 6000:1, which is the band a single stage cannot reach — the answer wherever the driven shaft has to turn at a few revolutions a minute.

Built for Duty

What separates NMRV Series from a general-purpose drive.

  • Ratios a single stage cannot reach

    Two worm sets in series multiply the reduction, taking output speed down to single-figure rpm from a standard four-pole motor.

  • Built from stock stages

    Both halves come from the RW range, so the ratio is made up from parts a plant already stocks rather than a special.

  • Machined adaptor housing

    The two bodies join through a machined flange, holding concentricity so the intermediate shaft runs true.

  • Strongly self-locking

    At these ratios the drive will not back-drive, which is what suits it to hoists, gates and holding duty.

  • Compact for the reduction

    Two right-angle stages fold the drive train into far less space than an equivalent multi-stage in-line box.

  • Universal mounting

    Foot, flange and hollow or solid output shaft on the same unit, in either hand of rotation.
