The Large Module Hardened Forged Turbine Gear for Wind Turbine Transmission Units is engineered to deliver exceptional torque transmission and durability in utility-scale wind turbine gearboxes. Manufactured from premium alloy steels such as 18CrNiMo7-6 or 42CrMo4, each gear is precision forged and heat treated to ensure optimal surface hardness, core toughness, and fatigue resistance.
Large Module Hardened Forged Gear for Wind Turbine Transmission Units. Featuring large module design, these forged gears are specifically tailored to handle high-load, low-speed wind turbine drive conditions. The gear surfaces undergo case hardening or through hardening processes to achieve superior wear resistance and long service life under fluctuating loads and challenging environmental conditions.
Typical applications include main stage transmission gears, yaw drive gears, and pitch control gears in both onshore and offshore wind turbines. All gears are manufactured in accordance with international standards.
