Set of Gearbox Clamp Halves

The Gearbox Support Block also known as Set of Gearbox Clamp Halves are mission-critical Machined Components engineered to anchor and secure gearboxes in the most demanding environments. Typically comprised of two massive, heavy-duty steel halves, this component is designed to externally clamp and support the entire gearbox. Inside a wind turbine nacelle, the support block securely "clamps" the gearbox, while itself being anchored to the nacelle's base frame. This gearbox component serves as the critical structural "base" or "mounting frame" connecting the gearbox to the nacelle, engineered to withstand the full weight of the gearbox and the reactive forces generated by torque. Specifically designed for the wind power, marine & offshore, and Heavy Machinery industries, this set of clamp half blanks forms the foundational building block for safe and reliable gearbox assembly.

Manufactured from high-strength carbon steel & alloy steel (e.g., 42CrMo, 34CrNiMo6), these precision machining components undergo a rigorously controlled process of precision open-die Forging, optimized Heat Treatment, and finish machining to deliver unmatched structural integrity, dimensional stability, and long-term reliability.

Industry Applications

1. 1. Wind Turbine Gearboxes (for shafts ≤ 8 t): Prevent frame flexing and maintain critical gear meshing under variable wind loads.
   2. Marine Propulsion Systems: Resist the corrosive marine environment and constant engine vibrations.
   3. Heavy-Duty Industrial Gearboxes: Support high-torque operations in mining, steel milling, and power generation.
