Identifying Your Specific ZF Transmission Model Plate

The Ultimate Guide to Identifying Your Specific ZF Transmission Model Plate (e.g., WG200 vs WG210)

Introduction: Eliminating Uncertainty in ZF Transmission Parts Procurement

Accurate identification of the ZF transmission model is the cornerstone of correct parts procurement. Confusing similar models—such as the WG200 and WG210—can lead to severe compatibility issues. This guide, brought to you by Tianjin XiaoHang Construction Machinery Co., Ltd., provides a definitive, step-by-step method for decoding the ZF model plate.

Section 1: Locating and Understanding the ZF Model Identification Plate

The model plate is the single most important document. It provides the Type Designation (e.g., 4WG200), the Serial Number, and the Bill of Material (BOM) number.

• Essential Data: The BOM number is critical, as it defines the exact parts configuration. Always visually confirm the data plate on the actual transmission.

Section 2: Deciphering Common Confusion: WG200 vs. WG210

Subtle differences between common models often cause the most significant procurement errors.

• Key Differences Affecting Part Compatibility: These models often differ in clutch pack configuration, torque converter sizing, and input/output flange types. Major internal overhaul kits are usually specific.
• The Procurement Risk: Ordering the wrong internal kit can halt the repair. XiaoHang Machinery Co.’s 20 years of technical expertise helps you navigate these subtle internal differences.

Section 3: The Role of the Serial Number and BOM in Sourcing

• Why the BOM Number is More Important: The BOM number specifies the particular version built for a specific machine manufacturer (OEM) or application. Always provide your supplier with the full Type Designation and the BOM number to ensure a precise match.
• The XiaoHang Guarantee: XiaoHang Machinery Co.’s access to extensive Chinese OEM parts data allows us to swiftly cross-reference these specific BOM numbers to the correct spare parts.

Conclusion: Procurement Confidence Starts with Accuracy

Partnering with a supplier who possesses both deep technical knowledge and rapid supply chain capabilities, like Tianjin XiaoHang Construction Machinery Co., Ltd., is essential.
