Radar

CHEMNITZER ZAHNRADFABRIK gearboxes are used in propulsion systems, steering units and auxiliary units of large ships, where they optimise power transmission and motion control. In smaller boats, they ensure the efficient transmission of high torques in the main drives, which is crucial for manoeuvrability and speed.

Use under constantly changing climatic conditions, corrosion resistance and high functional reliability characterise the special gearboxes used in shipbuilding. In addition, a number of other special requirements such as low noise levels and high load-bearing capacity under rough sea conditions can be decisive for the respective application.

A hydraulic motor gearbox, for example, can be the ideal solution for such demanding applications. It has generously dimensioned bearings and has a lower slip oil quantity compared to hydraulic motor direct drives of the same series. The high level of efficiency is reflected in the outstanding torques with smoother running and the responsive drive due to the low inertia.
