The following tolerances are permitted in relation to
the crankshaft axes:

crankshaft bore (for the roller bearing which
guides the transmission input shaft)
➢ 0.2 mm roundness tolerance B for the centring
bore (to support the transmission) in the flywheel Engine housing Dial gauge B

For these tolerances, we also make reference to the shaft
dimensions and tolerances specified in ISO 7649.

Pilot bearing

A life-long lubricated ball bearing, sealed on both

sides is required for permanent input shaft guidance. 016 856

The seal material must be resistant to temperatures of

between –40 and +150 °C. The roller bearing grease
must also be resistant to temperatures of between –40
and +150 °C. The seal material must be resistant to Dial gauge C
corrosion. Engine housing

4.1.8 Mounting
Only those screw-on surfaces on the trans-
mission housing and/or auxiliary intended for
transmission mounting may be used for such
purposes. The nominal strength values defined for the
screw design is housing material GD-ALSI9CV3.
Transmission mountings on the vehicle frame must
be designed following discussions with ZF ensuring
that additional forces are not
transmitted to the transmission housing by any
distortion of the vehicle frame.
☞ Connection dimensions of the transmission
mounting, transmission weight and the site of the
centre of gravity are specified in the relevant
installation drawing.
The screws used for the transmission mounting must
comply with 8.8 quality. The specified tightening
torque must be calculated in accordance with
VDI 2230 for mounting points C and E.
The additional mounting point E is only required if
the measurements, calculations or tests in question
indicate the influence of critical levels of vibration or
extreme shock loads. Care should however be taken
to ensure that no forces are transmitted in the zero
position of the rubber bearing E and that the strength
of E is less than bearing A + C or A + B.

auxiliary units.
NOTE
➢ Other threaded bores must not be used as
mounting points on the ZF-AS TRONIC.
➢ The minimum screw-in depth at mounting point C
must be 32 mm.
➢ The maximum vertical loading permitted at point
E is ± 3g. Otherwise E will have to be supported.
! DANGER
The bending torque of the bearing blocks on the
mounting face C must not exceed the limit value of
1900 Nm.
