The FZG gear test rig is a testing machine with power circuit. The drive gearbox and the test gearbox are frictionally engaged by two torque shafts. Shaft 1 is equipped with a clutch so that the load can be applied.

Intertek offers customized FZG Gear Testing solutions which evaluates fluid lubricating and wear protection properties at the interface of a loaded set of gears.

The Institute of Machine Elements, also called "Gear Research Center (FZG)", has comprehensive facilities for examination and testing of machine elements, such as gears, bearings, synchronizations and couplings.

What are the FZG scuffing load tests all about? FZG is the Technical Institute for the Study of Gears and Drive Mechanisms (Forschungsstelle für Zahnräder und Getriebebau) of the Technical University in Munich, where this test rig was developed.

With the new FZG series, F. Zimmermann has a 5-axis portal milling machine with a low rail gantry in its portfolio that is suitable for machining particularly long workpieces. It is accessible from the side for loading and unloading.

Recent investigations at a gear efficiency test rig have shown the high potential of water-containing gear fluids in drastically reducing load-dependent gear losses and temperatures. In this study,...

Jun 13, 2024 · With the new machine line FZG, Zimmermann has added a 5-axis portal milling machine with a low rail gantry to their portfolio, which is well-suited to process particularly long components. Accessible from the side, the FZG allows easier loading and unloading processes.

Zimmermann's FZP42 CNC portal milling machine is suitable for simultaneous 5-axis machining of a wide variety of materials. Zimmermann's FZP37 is suitable for machining steel, aluminum and composite materials. The FZP32 is our next generation FZP-line 5-axis gantry for the machining of aluminum, fiber composite materials, plastics and resin.

The FZG Gear Test evaluates anti-wear characteristics and load carrying capacities of lubricants. The FZG gear test rig simulates a misaligned gear set operating in a bath of lubricant subjected to 12 increasing torque load stages. Tooth-wear is examined between stages for scuffing or scoring.

The FZG high-speed gear tension test rig was developed jointly by Strama-MPS and the FZG at the Technical University of Munich and is constantly being further developed together. A target speed of 22,500 rpm with up to 600 Nm at the pinion can be achieved.
