ZF SHIFT 3k is a modular gearbox from ZF Wind Power’s SHIFT platform for 2.7 – 4.3 MW wind turbines with 120 – 170 m rotors and 3,000 – 4,000 kNm rated mechanical torque. ZF Wind Power (part of ZF Friedrichshafen AG, Germany) brings over 45 years of wind drivetrain experience; its SHIFT gearbox family runs in more than 65 GW of installed capacity worldwide, onshore and offshore.
Standardised building blocks let turbine makers pick the right configuration for each market without redesigning the whole drivetrain, shortening development time and lowering the levelised cost of energy (LCoE).
Key features
- Modular, field-proven design
- High torque density, compact and light
- Optimised NVH, aiming at tonality-free operation
- For onshore and offshore turbines
- Ready for condition monitoring and data analytics
