What Is an RV90 / NMRV090 Worm Gearbox?

RV90 and NMRV090 commonly identify a size 90 worm gear reducer. A worm shaft drives a worm wheel at a 90-degree angle, reducing motor speed while increasing the torque available at the output. The compact right-angle layout is useful where machine space is limited or where the drive direction must change.

The size designation identifies a gearbox family, not a complete specification. Before ordering, buyers should still confirm the reduction ratio, motor interface, shaft arrangement, mounting position, load, duty and environmental conditions.

RV90 / NMRV090 Main Specifications

ParameterSpecification
ModelRV90 / NMRV090
Reduction ratio7.5:1–100:1
Input speed1400–1800 rpm
HousingAluminum alloy
Gear typeWorm gear
OutputHollow or solid shaft
Motor connectionIEC motor flange
MountingMultiple mounting positions

These parameters provide a useful starting point. Rated torque, permitted input power, exact flange and shaft dimensions, lubricant arrangement and thermal capacity depend on the selected ratio and configuration.

Reduction Ratio and Output-Speed Calculation

Use the motor's actual rated speed—not only its synchronous speed—when calculating the preliminary gearbox ratio.

Theoretical output speed = Input speed ÷ Reduction ratio
RatioOutput at 1400 rpm inputOutput at 1800 rpm input
7.5:1186.7 rpm240 rpm
10:1140 rpm180 rpm
15:193.3 rpm120 rpm
20:170 rpm90 rpm
25:156 rpm72 rpm
30:146.7 rpm60 rpm
40:135 rpm45 rpm
50:128 rpm36 rpm
60:123.3 rpm30 rpm
80:117.5 rpm22.5 rpm
100:114 rpm18 rpm

Important: These values are theoretical. Actual output speed varies with motor slip, load and operating conditions. Use the motor nameplate speed and verify the final machine speed during selection.

How to Select the Right RV90 Ratio

  1. Determine the machine's required operating speed.
  2. Read the motor's rated rpm from the nameplate.
  3. Divide motor rpm by required output rpm to obtain the preliminary ratio.
  4. Select the nearest available nominal ratio.
  5. Verify continuous, starting and peak torque against the rated gearbox data.
  6. Apply an appropriate service factor for operating hours, starts, shock load and reversing.

A higher ratio produces a lower output speed, but efficiency and thermal behavior can also change. Ratio alone is therefore not enough to approve a gearbox.

Hollow vs Solid Output Shaft

Hollow output

A hollow shaft allows the gearbox to mount directly on the driven machine shaft. This can reduce couplings and help create a compact installation. Confirm bore, keyway, shaft tolerance and axial restraint.

Solid output shaft

A solid output shaft is useful when the gearbox drives through a coupling, sprocket, pulley or other transmission element. Confirm shaft diameter, key dimensions, overhung load and rotation direction.

IEC Motor Flange Connection

The IEC motor flange simplifies matching the reducer to a standard motor, but “IEC compatible” does not mean every motor fits every input adapter. Confirm motor frame size, flange designation, pilot diameter, bolt circle, motor-shaft diameter, shaft length and key before production.

Mounting Position and Installation

RV90/NMRV090 gearboxes can be installed in multiple mounting positions. Tell the supplier the intended orientation because mounting position can affect lubricant placement, venting and accessible service points. The support structure should be rigid and aligned, and connected shafts should not force the gearbox out of position.

Typical Applications

RV90 worm gearboxes are used in conveyor systems, packaging machinery, mixers, food-processing equipment, agricultural machinery, material handling and industrial automation. The correct model depends on load torque, duty cycle, starts per hour, ambient temperature and installation constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the NMRV090 installation dimensions?

The installation drawing above shows the main NMRV090 interfaces. The configuration shown has a 35 mm output bore; the final input flange and mounting dimensions depend on the selected motor. Please contact us to confirm the installation dimensions before ordering.

What ratio range is available for an RV90 or NMRV090 gearbox?

The reduction-ratio range is 7.5:1 to 100:1. Confirm the exact nominal ratio and rated performance for the selected configuration.

What is the output speed at a 1400 rpm input?

Theoretical output speed ranges from approximately 186.7 rpm at 7.5:1 to 14 rpm at 100:1. Actual speed depends on motor slip and load.

Can RV90 use a hollow or solid shaft?

Yes. Hollow and solid output-shaft arrangements are available, subject to the final assembly and approved drawing.

How is the motor connected?

An IEC motor flange is used. Confirm the motor frame, flange, pilot, shaft and key dimensions before ordering.
