YOUR REQUIREMENTS – OUR SOLUTIONS
ZIMM drive technology for intralogistics | Optimize processes flexibly
Material flows in intralogistics must be continuously monitored, adjusted and kept efficient. Stable transfers, repeatable positions and robust mechanics are crucial – so cycle processes run reliably and coordination effort remains low.
ZIMM provides a modular system kit for this: electromechanical actuators and screw jacks generate precise linear motion – including matching parts – for lifting, positioning and adjusting loads in conveyor systems and system modules. ZK bevel gearboxes handle power transmission and 90° redirection when drives need to be arranged compactly and integrated cleanly.

Extract from our industry expertise
Adjust conveyor belts | Stabilise transfers reliably
In intralogistics, conveyor belts often need to be readjusted – for clean transfers and stable belt tracking. ZIMM provides electromechanical actuators as a robust basis: precise adjustment and positioning in a compact installation space. This allows belt height, side guides and angle of inclination to be set repeatably – even with changing loads and cycle times.
Benefits
- Repeatable settings for stable transfers and belt tracking
- High stiffness and positioning accuracy under load
- Compact integration with clear interfaces to the control system
Operating principle
- Rotary motion -> linear motion via electromechanical actuators
- Synchronisation of multiple actuators possible to prevent jamming
- Design based on stroke, load and duty cycle (ED) for stable cycle processes
Application scenarios
- Height adjustment of conveyor belts at transfer stations
- Readjustment of side guides for stable product guidance
- Positioning of transfer and diverter modules within the conveyor layout
AGV top modules | Automate transfers reliably
AGVs (automated guided vehicles) enable flexible material flows – the critical point is the transfer at stations. ZIMM supplies screw jack systems as a robust basis for top modules: precise lifting and positioning in a compact installation space. This enables repeatable load pick-up, centring and locking at transfer stations.
Benefits
- Repeatable transfers thanks to defined lifting positions
- High stiffness and load capacity for stable processes
- System design as a multi-screw solution possible (e.g. 4-screw systems)
Operating principle
- Rotary motion -> linear motion via screw jacks
- Synchronous lifting in multi-screw systems to prevent jamming
- Designed for accuracy and efficiency (with DC motors as required)
Application scenarios
- Transfer stations to conveyor systems & transfer modules
- Lifting/positioning units for load carriers
- Centring & locking in the top module
Turntables | Redirect cartons reliably
In carton conveyor lines, a change of direction is a cycle-critical point: only when the turntable reaches its position repeatably do transfer and onward transport remain stable. ZIMM supports turntable modules with ZK bevel gearboxes as a compact drive stage for torque transmission and 90° redirection. This aligns cartons in a defined way at line transitions and transfers them safely to the next conveyor section.
Benefits
- Repeatable rotary positions for clean carton transfers
- Compact drive thanks to integrated 90° redirection
- Robust torque transmission for stable cycle processes
Operating principle
- Motor -> ZK: transmit torque, redirect the drive direction by 90°
- Ratio matched to cycle time and carton weight (speed/torque)
- End positions define the transfer to the downstream conveyor line
Application scenarios
- 90° direction changes in carton conveyor lines
- Transfers to sorting/diverting modules with defined alignment
- Alignment upstream of scanner, scale or labelling
