18CrNiMo7-6 Gear Case Hardened Shaft For Wind Power Equipment Gear Shaft

The Case Hardened 18CrNiMo7-6 Gear Shaft for Wind Power Equipment is engineered for superior fatigue strength and long-term reliability in high-load applications. Manufactured through precision forging and advanced heat treatment processes, this gear shaft features deep case hardening and excellent core toughness, making it ideal for wind turbine main gearboxes and transmission systems.

Gear Shaft Applications:

Process Highlights:

• Precision forging to achieve high strength and dimensional stability

• Carburizing and quenching for deep case hardness and wear resistance

• CNC machining for tight tolerance control

• 100% UT to ensure internal integrit
