Faqs:
  • What materials are used in these high-precision forged gears for wind turbines?
    Our gears are manufactured from premium alloy steels including 18CrNiMo7-6, 20CrMnMo, and 42CrMo4, chosen specifically for their superior wear resistance, hardenability, and dimensional stability under the fluctuating wind loads encountered in wind turbine applications.
  • How does the forging process contribute to the gear's performance in wind turbine gearboxes?
    The gears are processed through controlled forging with a forging ratio of ≥4.0, which ensures uniform grain flow, refined grain structure, and improved impact resistance. This results in exceptional mechanical strength and outstanding fatigue life necessary for high-load wind turbine environments.
  • What testing and inspection procedures are performed on these gears?
    Each gear undergoes comprehensive testing including chemical composition analysis, mechanical properties testing (yield strength, tensile strength, impact toughness, hardness profile), non-destructive testing (UT, MT, surface flaw detection), and gear accuracy measurement (tooth profile, lead, contact pattern, backlash) to ensure compliance with AGMA/ISO standards.
  • Are these gears suitable for both onshore and offshore wind turbine applications?
    Yes, these high-precision forged gears are engineered for both onshore and offshore wind turbine applications. They are designed to withstand harsh conditions including high torque, vibration, and fluctuating wind loads, with optional anti-corrosion coating available specifically for offshore storage and transportation requirements.
