ZF - Machine Drives, Brakes and Clutches

Hysteresis brakes	Precision in movement The ZF Maschinenantriebe GmbH is able to offer you a wide range of machine drives, brakes and clutches for applications in engineering as well as customer specific drive solutions.	Two-speed clutches
Right angle gearboxes	Our development and production activities are focused on servo-assisted drives for automation engineering, two-speed drive gearboxes for machine tools as well as customer-specific drives, such as for printing machines and robot applications.	Customer specific gearboxes
Two-speed gearboxes	Our innovative standard products range from low-backlash servo-assisted drives (ZFServoplan), robust two-speed gear-boxes (ZF-Duoplan) and two-step clutches (ZFDuoshift) to hysteresis applications which are characterized by the non-contact transmission of the drive (ZF-Tiratron).	Elevator gearbox
The ZF-Servoplan planetary gearbox series has been designed for direct mounting onto servomotors. The available wide range of sizes and the use of a modular system allows the application in almost any field of automation. The combination of servomotors with ZF-Servoplan planetary gearboxes constitutes a coaxial drive unit. The servomotor output shaft is connected to the sun gear of the gearbox by using a clamping coupling. The sun gear drives three planetary gears inside the planetary carrier, which rotate inside the internal ring gear. Since the power is distributed to three planetary gears, thereby distributing the forces evenly, this allows a very compact design with high power density.
