smooth and powerful drive ZF COUPLINGS AND CLUTCHES for MARINE APPLICATIONS

Based on the invention of the friction clutch Max Lohmann set up production with the newly founded company Lohmann + Stolterfoht in 1884 in Witten. Initially couplings and clutched were designed and manufactured, followed by the production of gearboxes. (r.) the inventors of the friction clutch building industry were also established. The delivery trial Technology is the division where ZF bundles its of the first marine reverse-reduction gears in 1926 activities for “Off-Road” applications. It comprises the not only extended the production program, but also development and production of transmissions...

experts for COUPLINGS AND clutches in marine applications Over one hundred years of experience in development and production paired with the know-how of ZF in driveline technology is the basis on which ZF Industrieantriebe Witten GmbH is able to offer a technically mature range of reliable couplings and clutches for general and heavy engineering and marine applications. complete range ZF offers a wide range of couplings and clutches for the complete power-train of all kinds of vessels, boats and yachts.

Experience from more than 20,000 drive installations has led to the high torsional elasticity and excellent dampening capability of the SPIROFLEX shaft coupling that renders this coupling indispensable for propulsion systems prone to torsional vibration. The most significant feature of the coupling is its rubber elements’ high torsional flexibility. Various rubber hardness grades effectively influence the natural frequencies arising in the respective drive system. As a result of major development efforts considerable improvements were attained in the area of attaching rubber material to steel...

The PNEUMASTAR clutch is a torsionally stiff doublecone friction clutch. The clutching components consist of two inner and two outer friction cones of which the inner ones are pneumatically pressed against the outer tapered friction faces via a clutching cylinder. Rubber sleeve springs form the torsionally stiff portion of the clutch. As the clutching components are moved over the rubber sleeve springs during the actuation of the clutch, a wear-causing axial sliding movement between the various contacting parts is avoided. Pneumatic operation of the clutch enables speedy and precise manoeuvring,...
