Products for Industrial Drives

ZF Products for Machinery and Plants

Industrial transmissions must perform well and at the same time be compact, precise and efficient. Learn more about ZF drive solutions for mechanical engineering.

Innovative and Custom-Made

In more than three decades, ZF has evolved into an expert for developing and manufacturing tailor-made driveline technology for industrial applications. Renowed manufacturers trust in our competence and product quality.

The focus of development and production activities is on servogearboxes for automation technology, two-stage manual drives for machine tools, as well as customized drives, for instance for printing machines or robotics applications. The range of innovative products covers low-play servogearboxes (ZF Servoplan), robust two-stage gearboxes (ZF Duoplan), as well as hysteresis applications that transfer torque without contact (ZF Tiratron).Even under continuously high machine loads, ZF industrial drives work in a highly reliable and precise manner. Their size is so small and their weight so low that they can be smoothly integrated into the respective manufacturing concept. Low-scale maintenance efforts and longevity guarantee high availability.

Applications

Machinery and Plants

Even under continuously high machine loads, ZF machine drives work in a highly reliable and precise manner. Their size is so small and their weight so low that they can be smoothly integrated into the respective machine concept. Low-scale maintenance efforts and longevity warrant high machine availability.

Escalators

Modern architecture is increasingly heading towards heights. With the number of floors of a building, the requirements vis-à-vis elevator and materials-handling technology are rising simultaneously. ZF transmission systems make a vital contribution to safely and comfortably overcoming constantly expanding distances. Escalators conveniently link the floors of many buildings and public facilities in a safe manner. Equipped with a ZF escalator drive, they live up to the high requirements in terms of safety and smooth running in an outstandingly impressive manner.

Product Highlights

Duoplan

The ZF Duoplan two-speed gearbox is mainly used in machine tool main-spindle drives, test-benches and applications where high torque is needed. By way of example, the gearbox can be used in turning machines (horizontal B3/B5), machining centers (vertical V1/V3) thanks to its variable installation position.

Servoplan

Servo-controlled transmissions can be applied in multiple contexts. One- and two-speed servo drives with ZF Servoplan transmissions are applied wherever highly dynamic and exact positioning is required. Target output torques of 25 - 3,000 Nm are possible with different model sizes.

Tiratron

ZF Tiratron, i.e. the combination of the brake with the electronic control unit or the clutch with the electronic control unit enables the exact control of tensile forces as well as a defined setting of a torque. The ZF Hysteresis Technology can be used and applied wherever products such as paper, wire etc. are processed by winding. Loads can be simulated with ZF Tiratron on test benches or in ergometers.
