Transmission test benches are an indispensable element in the ZF Aftermarket business as they ensure that demand-oriented and cost-efficient services can be provided. As a system supplier – to help our ZF Service Partners – we offer service availability for the Off-Highway sector:

• Demand-oriented development and marketing of turnkey solutions for test benches with the CE mark
• In-house developed special tools
• Powerful complete solutions for transmission test benches in various performance classes, incl. adaptations

The variety of versions and complexity in transmission production is now greater than ever. Consequently, the demand for high-quality transmission testing systems is also growing. ZF offers functional test benches in various performance classes – to reliably test and accept numerous ZF construction machine, tractor, utility vehicle and passenger car transmissions.

Our range includes the right test bench whatever the task. This means we can offer the right standard variant in different performance classes depending on the product portfolio being tested. In addition, we also offer comprehensive transmission adaption packages that allow almost any standard transmission design to be flange-mounted to ZF test benches.

Whether you are looking at service or quality testing – the ZF functional test bench range allows any transmission to be thoroughly tested.

• With a ZF test bench and ZF Testman diagnostic software with optional test bench application, you can keep a constant eye on the transmission being tested
• All performance-related data can be called up quickly and easily
• 100% service-relevant testing of your reconditioned transmission and detailed, precise troubleshooting
• Easy to operate via the test bench system developed and sold by ZF
• Different testing procedures designed specifically for different transmissions
• Regular updates

The test run is conducted and documented on the basis of a test record depending on the transmission type. The information and measurement data required for the testing procedure are either displayed on the test bench console or by ZF Testman, and can be adjusted individually.

A semi-automated test runs are possible with certain transmission types, whereby the system stores and logs all measurement data.
