The Alloy Steel Forged Gear for High Load Industrial Drive Units is engineered for demanding applications that require exceptional mechanical strength, wear resistance, and operational reliability. Manufactured from premium alloy steels such as 42CrMo4, 18CrNiMo7-6, or custom grades, each gear is forged with a high reduction ratio to refine internal grain structure and improve load-bearing performance.
Designed for heavy-duty gearboxes in mining, metallurgy, material handling, and cement production, these forged gears are capable of withstanding continuous torque, dynamic impact, and extreme working conditions. Depending on application requirements, surface hardening processes such as carburizing or induction hardening are applied to enhance tooth durability without compromising the ductility of the gear core.
Precision machining and advanced gear measurement ensure tight tolerances, proper tooth geometry, and smooth power transmission. Gears can be delivered as rough-machined or fully finished, tailored to meet customer-specific design and performance needs.
