ZWVS Series
440 – 930 | 350 – 3,082 kW
Two-speed reverse-reduction gearboxes for fast vessels. Two selectable gear ratios between input and output shaft keep the engine in its optimal range — with the high power-to-weight ratio, compact dimensions, and quiet running of the WVS series.
Two Ratios, One Gearbox
The ZWVS two-speed reverse-reduction gearbox provides two selectable gear ratios between input and output shaft — keeping fast vessels efficient across their full operating range, built on the proven WVS platform.
High Power-to-Weight Ratio
A weight-optimised design delivers maximum power for minimum mass, ideal for performance fast craft.
Two Selectable Ratios
Two gear ratios between input and output shaft ensure optimal engine operation at both cruise and full speed.
Smooth Engagement
Adapted pressure increase during shifting gives smooth, controlled clutch engagement under demanding maneuvering.
Low Operating Noise
Helical, tooth-flank-ground gears and compact dimensions keep onboard noise low for crew and guest comfort.

Specifications


ZWVS Two-Speed Reverse-Reduction Gearbox
ZWVS is a two-speed reverse-reduction gearbox with two selectable gear ratios between input and output shaft. The Power Ratings views show approximate engine-power envelopes read from the brochure's selection diagram, which REINTJES provides as an overview only — lighter duty cycles permit higher ratings. Main Dimensions (mm) and dry weights are from the brochure dimension table; the H3 figure is a range covering both output-shaft positions. Values are not strictly binding (subject to change); for a binding gearbox selection, contact Karl Senner.
