In many machinery and plant engineering projects, there is a requirement to design screw jack systems or electromechanical actuators with a pivoting function. ZIMM offers suitable solutions for this – tailored to the gearbox type and the specific application conditions.

#### Why do gearboxes need to be pivoted?

In certain applications in mechanical engineering, it is necessary to align or mount gearboxes flexibly with a pivoting function – for example, in case of changing load situations or limited installation space.

#### How does ZIMM support pivoting gearbox applications?

Depending on the selected gearbox type, ZIMM offers various technical implementations:

- Pivoting mounts for nearly any system configuration
- Adjustment of the mounting according to the requirements
- Technical consulting based on a requirement analysis

#### What must be considered for pivoting gearbox systems?

The suitable solution is always defined based on project-specific requirements to ensure functionality, operational safety, and efficiency.
