Wind Energy Gearboxes

Brad Foote Gear Works has invested heavily to become a premier supplier in the Wind Energy industry. Our internal tooth grinding capability allows us to provide tooth ground planetary arrangements as well as the more traditional split train transmissions at the quality levels required by the industry. Brad Foote currently provides transmissions for wind turbines to 2.5MW size.

Some of the reasons our customers have chosen us:

• Certified UT and MPI inspectors ensure the materials are proper
• Our heat treat facility routinely produces AGMA grade 3
• Our CNC micro hardness tester ensures proper heat treatment along the entire profile
• In-house shot peening to reduce stresses in the critical root area
• Internal and external form tooth grinding to AGMA Q15(A2) of even the most complex micro geometry
