ZF 2094.310.072 FLANGE PILOT | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 2094.310.072 FLANGE PILOT is a precision-machined OEM genuine component designed to serve as the critical centering and mounting interface within ZF heavy-duty transmission assemblies. This flange pilot ensures accurate alignment between the transmission output shaft and the driveline flange, minimizing vibration and maintaining torque transfer integrity under extreme loads. Commonly found in construction machinery applications, the SKU 2094.310.072 sits directly on the output housing, acting as a pilot guide for the companion flange. When paired with a robust 2094101012: TRANSMISSION HOUSING, this part guarantees concentric rotation and prevents axial play that could compromise drivetrain performance.

Symptoms of Failure

• Oil seepage around the output flange: A worn or cracked flange pilot allows transmission fluid to escape, leaving visible wet spots under the vehicle or machine.
• Driveline vibration during acceleration: Degraded pilot centering causes flange wobble, resulting in noticeable shuddering or humming at low speeds.
• Premature bearing or seal wear: Misalignment from a failing flange pilot accelerates damage to adjacent components like the 0750111371: SHAFT SEAL and internal bearings.
• Difficulty engaging or disengaging PTO: When the pilot surface is damaged, the power take-off flange may bind or fail to seat correctly.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This flange pilot is engineered for use in ZF WG180, WG200, and WG210 series transmissions commonly deployed in wheel loaders, graders, and excavators. It is also compatible with certain ZF 4WG-180 and 4WG-200 power shift models. For proper installation, ensure the mating surfaces on the 2094301036: HOUSING and 2094298057: HOUSING are clean and free of burrs. The flange pilot works in conjunction with the 2094301071: COVER to seal the output area against contaminants.
