such as setting off on a slope, these transmissions provide standstill control, leading to a noticeable easing of the driver’s work and almost eliminating operational errors. Four automatically shifted tractive ranges are operated with unbeatable high efficiency. The ratios are selected such that the speed range from 0­60 km/h is steplessly covered. ZF stepless transmissions can be integrated into special vehicle systems very easily due to their modular layout and compact design.

“Premium” product line77 kW (100 hp) to 221 kW (300 hp)

Powershift technology

Well proven hundreds of thousands of times, the extreme reliability of ZF powershift transmissions is highly valued in North America, Europe, Russia, and China. From the economical standard version and full powershift automation through to integra­tion into a driveline management system via CAN bus, the T­7000 series has a high degree of modular­ity and extensive options. Due to the new propor­tional valve control the transfer capability of the clutches is increased and overload protection integrated as standard. Powershifting is independ­ent of temperature and the amount of load is hardly noticeable. All products in the ZF powershift trans­mission range are adapted for operation at reduced engine speed.

“Basic” product line 44 kW (60 hp) to 136 kW (185 hp)

Synchromesh technology

ZF synchromesh transmissions in the series T­500 and T­600 can be integrated into the most varied vehicle designs. With their robust design and dependable quality they offer the market all the advantages of well­proven technology, even under extreme operating conditions. Always being im­proved, the T­500 series has been upgraded for added convenience with the power shuttle variant. Perfectly matched gear selection in any operating situation is ensured by eight fully synchromeshed forward gears in the main operating range between 4 and 15 km/h. Switching in all­wheel drive during braking as a standard feature on the T­500 series ensures reliable braking and operational safety in the workday routine.

ZF rear axles

The ZF modular kit facilitates the combination of all ZF transmission variants with the appropriate rear axle. ZF rear axles are tuned for high efficiency and are intended for use in standard tractors. The special features include preselection of the electrohydraulic PTO speed, brakes with ABS capability, and retrofit­table bar axle shafts.

Electronic transmission controls

ZF offers electronic controls for all powershift and stepless transmissions. These TCUs (Transmission Control Units) are mainly implemented as on board control units. Additionally, vehicle controls, which provide optimum matching of the engine and trans­mission, are available for the stepless transmissions. In particular these VDC controls (Vehicle Driveline Control Unit) reflect ZF’s extraordinary vehicle system capability. Modern development tools and automotive standards ensure high availability in harsh working conditions.

ZF steering axles

With its first solutions marketed in the early 80s, in the field of powered steering axles ZF counts as one of the pioneers of the all­wheel drive on the tractor – experience which is paying off even today. ZF tractor steering axles are characterized by high admissible axle loads, high maneuvering capability and precise steering geometry. The latest generation, ZF TERRASTEER, offers the vehicle manufacturer greater flexibility in the choice of the desired functions. The expanded modularity of the axle and the wide range of options facilitate easy adaptation to individual requirements. High steering angles of up to 55° give better tractor maneuverability.The high quality sealing concept of the ZF TERRA­STEER predestines it for extreme ambient con­ditions, such as for example, applications in rice fields.

Additional components

Electromechanical parking brake: The ease of operation for the driver is increased by a range of additional functions, and the handling in difficult situations simplified. By means of functions such as Dynamic Braking or Auto Apply, actions previously carried out manually are now automated. Cabin damping: ZF offers a wide selection of dampers from the robust steel spring module through to the latest Cabin Air Levelling Module (CALM) with integral level regulation and electronic damper system, the Continuous Damping Control (CDC). Due to dynamic adaptation of the damping charac­teristic, CDC offers a constant level of comfort in varying operating conditions.

For the hydrostatic traction drive of harvesters ZF offers a combination of transmissions from the 3MD series and the wheel drives of the S­series which are designed for vehicle weights up to 24 tonnes. These drives are particularly robust and make only modest maintenance demands. Due to the compact design the power train needs only a small amount of valuable installation space. The three­gear transmis­sions of the 3MD series can be obtained with two different wheel drives (S­800 or S­1050). These are matched to the relevant vehicle weight. The single­stage S­800 wheel drive is employed in the lighter

In order to be more economical, conserve more resources, meet more deadlines, but be more relaxed on the road and in the field, users are increasingly calling on the support of telematics services. Open­matics can interchange data with all the relevant vehicle systems and is therefore suitable for online documentation in the field records file and also for fleet management, vehicle diagnosis, and multi­media applications, etc. Openmatics is independent of the manufacturer, i.e. third­party suppliers such as vehicle and component manufacturers, or other application developers can offer their telematics

vehicle category. The two­stage S­1050 wheel drive is preferred for vehicles with a higher GVW. The whole 3MD series also disposes of two disc brakes, which are mounted directly on the transmission. This produces a reliable braking effect with higher operational safety independent of the relevant field of application. From early 2012 the drivelines for harvesting machines will also be manufactured in Europe in addition to the production in Sorocaba (Brazil). In this way the growing demand from the European market will be satisfied and maximum flexibility ensured for vehicle manufacturers.

services in the form of „apps“ for Openmatics. Each „app“ is tested and certified by Openmatics before it is released. The Openmatics system is simple: An onboard unit in the vehicle acquires the data for all the required telematics applications. Outsourced servers handle the data conversion and storage. Data access for the user is via a web portal. The various telematics services are offered in the App Shop by Openmatics as modular software applications so that fleet or vehicle operators can freely choose and combine them to suit their individual requirements.

Drivelines for a successful harvest

Openmatics – the open telematics platform

For harvesters, ZF offers traction drives of maximum efficiency. The combination of transmissions in the 3MD series and the wheel drives of the S-series is designed for a GVW of up to 24 tonnes.

Driving comfort in commercial vehicles is considerably enhanced by separating the damping and sus­pension systems for the cabin from those of the chassis. Because differ­ent types of vehicles are used for different applications, their cabins differ in size, equipment, and weight. Each different cabin design requires an individual spring/ damper solution.

Torsional dampers from ZF perform the task of de­coupling the torsional engine irregularities in opti­mum fashion and reduce vibrations in the transmis­sion. They possess a high thermal resistance and guarantee great comfort and long service life. Thus, they make a significant contribution to increasing the economy of commercial vehicles. Designing tor­sional vibration dampers, ZF uses all the experience made in the area of high­volume technologies in order to develop products with special requirements which are of the same quality as high volume prod­ucts. The torsional vibration damper consists of a friction unit as well as a spring set, which due to coil

Cabin damping Torsional vibration damping

ZF vibration and motion dampers for the driver’s cab provide greater safety, comfort, and stability. Greater comfort levels reduce driver fatigue, increasing performance, and thereby driving safety.

In order to decouple the rotational irregularities in the engine and to reduce vibrations in the transmission, torsional vibration dampers are installed between engine and drivetrain.

springs in windows allows a limited degree of rota­tion between the crankshaft and the transmission input shaft. By choosing the proper size of the tor­sional vibration damper as well as the right spring set, the characteristic curve can be adapted to the in­dividual needs of a particular application. Thus the vibration decoupling can be perfectly adjusted to the vehicle and reduce ignition­induced irregularities in rotational speed. The integration of the torsional vibration damper into the respective installation space is carried out by a simple modification of the outer mounting area and by choosing the correlating splines compatible with the transmission input shaft.

ZF offers a range of products from horizontal dampers (nearly horizontal installation position) to monotube and twin­tube dampers, steel­spring and airspring modules, and CALM® Cabin Air Levelling Module to CDC® variable damping.

Air spring module:The air spring module is used for cabs with high comfort requirements.

Air spring with level control:CALM® is used with all types of air sprung cabs with high comfort requirements and high differences in loading.

Continuous Damping Control:CDC® solves the con- flicting objectives in the cab between comfort and stability using active control of the damping force.

Steel spring module:The steel spring module is used in all types of com-mercial vehicle cabs, but primarily where ruggedness is the main requirement.

Torsional dampers are based on the clutch-disc damper which has proven itself millions of times.

The DynaDamp torsion damper with the well-proven vibration-damping technology from the double-mass flywheel fulfills the highest demands in vibration reduction.

Research and development

Innovations are not a purpose in themselves for ZF; they must payoff, for manufacturers, fleet owners, and drivers, but also for theenvironment and society. Each new development must prove itselfamong the conflicting priorities of these criteria.

The torque converters from ZF are designed for optimal hydrodynamic efficiency. By means of the optional lock­up clutch torque is transmitted directly and therefore without loss between the engine and the trans­mission after starting. This contrib­utes significantly to fuel reduction and economy of working machines.The torque converters feature new free­wheel designs to cope with the highly dynamic gear­shifting processes which are required in
