Gearboxes for Ropeways
Ropeways for urban transportation will continue to gain significance. Passengers do not want to wait long, but instead they want to be carried quickly, comfortably and safely. The cableway operator also knows this. He expects high conveying performance and availability from his lift drive. The low-maintenance ZF gearboxes are extremely reliable.
ZF transmissions for cableway systems reliably provide the circulation of cable-drawn lift systems such as classical chair and gondola lifts or urban transport and shuttle systems. The kit principle of ZF industrial gearboxes also opens up plenty of scope in the transmission series for cableway systems.
Consequently, almost all application scenarios are served constructively practicably and efficiently:
- They can be used in all installation locations
- Various sizes based on one standard product range
- Operation with or without oil cooling
ZF gearboxes for cableways are extremely compact, quiet and convincing with a high power density for a low weight. As a result, they support the manufacturer in fulfilling current requirements on cableway systems: Comfort, safety and efficiency. Approximately thirty years of experience and expertise are put into the special ZF gearboxes for cableway systems. The globally available service ensures trouble-free operation and safe transport.
Application Examples:
- Ski lifts
- Chair lifts
- Gondola ropeways
- Funicular railways
- Cable-guided transport and shuttle systems
Performance Management System ZF ProVID®
ZF ProVID is the modern addition to existing ZF services and the basis of an effective service concept over the entire service life of your system.
The cloud-based ZF Performance Management System ZF ProVID® enables a permanent status monitoring of the complete driveline. As a result, potential damage to gearboxes and attached systems are detected at an early stage. By initiating appropriate preventive maintenance measures, downtimes are reduced and the maximum availability of the systems is significantly increased.
