ZIMM offers ZK bevel gearboxes in clearly defined types and versions to cover different installation situations. A distinction is made between a classic T type and two L versions with left- or right-hand output. In addition, solid-shaft and hollow-shaft versions are available on the output side, particularly for applications with limited installation space.

#### Which types and versions are available for ZK bevel gearboxes?

Three types are available for ZK bevel gearboxes:

- T type
- L version (left-hand output)
- L version (right-hand output)

#### What characterizes the T type?

The classic T type has one input shaft and two output shafts.

#### What characterizes the L versions?

The two L versions have one input shaft and one output shaft. The output shaft is positioned either on the left or on the right side of the gearbox.

#### Which versions are available on the input and output sides?

Two versions are available. On the input side, a solid shaft is always used. On the output side, a solid shaft or a hollow shaft is available.

#### When does the hollow shaft offer advantages?

The hollow shaft offers advantages when installation space is limited.
