ZF Wind Power extends its modular gearbox platform, SHIFT, with two new members: SHIFT 3k and SHIFT 7k. Where the SHIFT 7k variant with a torque range up to 8000kNm addresses the high power, high output onshore segments as well as dedicated offshore markets, the SHIFT 3k variant covers the requirements for high capacity factors in low to very low wind sites.
Together with SHIFT 4k and SHIFT 6k, the SHIFT platform is now available for energy production at every wind site. With a torque range covering 3000 to 8000 kNm, ZF Wind Power’s SHIFT modular gearbox platform portfolio enables turbine designs for all markets with a wind power density ranging from 125 W/m2 up to 500 W/m2.
