the prevailing trend in the wind power industry toward ever more powerful, reliable, and available turbines under challenging oper-ating conditions requires the far-reaching customization of all vital components.

The dynamic nature of the wind power market calls for continuous and rapid development to deliver productive, reliable and cost-eff ective turbines.

ZF is committed to delivering gearbox solutions that can handle the torque growth-curve induced in the drive train as turbine platforms are being equipped with larger rotors. ZF invests heavily in research and development of technologies and concepts to increase torque density, enabling torque increase within the same outer gearbox dimensions. With its innovative approach, ZF is committed to producing next-generation wind-turbine gearboxes that will make wind power the most attractive energy source in the future.

Coupled with its reliable product portfolio and the ability to provide worldwide service and mainte-nance, ZF is the technology partner of choice in the wind power industry.
