ZF exhibited at the Shanghai Auto Show an 8-speed automatic transmission suitable for longitudinal engine models and the world's first 9-speed automatic transmission suitable for the transverse front drive model. The two modern, efficient transmissions are suitable for almost all passenger cars equipped with conventional transmission systems. In addition, as an expert in the field of transmission and chassis, ZF's electric torsion beams are a classic example of a highly integrated transmission and chassis function on the rear axle. This product is suitable for purely electric driven miniature and Small vehicle. "ZF attaches great importance to the performance of the product and its fuel economy, so in the next few years, ZF is expected to achieve sustained growth in the Chinese market."

Mr. Jürgen Horeksa said: "As the scale of investment increases and the number of new customers increases, the importance of employer branding for ZF is increasing." Moreover, ZF ( ZF) pays more and more attention to the "localization of technology" project. During the project R&D process, ZF's Shanghai Engineering Center R&D will develop high-tech products specifically for the Chinese market, which will be produced by ZF in China. Base production. For this reason, the ZF R&D team in China needs excellent and creative talents. ZF will attract young Chinese engineers through a series of activities. For example, we have provided sponsorship for the Chassis Technology and Power Teaching Division of the Chinese University of Shanghai Tongji University and also sponsored the Tongji University Racing Team.

Maintenance of Sumitomo hydraulic cylinder seals


Hydraulic Cylinder Sealing Kit 40


Daily maintenance and upkeep can effectively solve the sealing problem of hydraulic cylinders, extend the service life of hydraulic cylinders, and improve the work efficiency of construction machinery.
1. Regularly check the wear of the hydraulic cylinder seals, and if severe wear is found, it should be replaced in a timely manner.
2. Clean the hydraulic cylinder seals to prevent impurities such as dust and sand from entering the interior of the seals.
3. Use appropriate hydraulic oil and avoid using expired or non compliant hydraulic oil to avoid damage to the hydraulic cylinder seals.
4. Avoid using hydraulic cylinders under excessive pressure or load to avoid damage to the seals.
5. Regularly check the liquid level and pressure of the hydraulic cylinder to ensure its normal operation and avoid damage to the sealing components due to hydraulic cylinder failures.
6. When the hydraulic cylinder is stopped for a long time, regular maintenance should be carried out, such as applying anti rust oil, to prevent aging or deformation of the sealing components.
