About this product

Product information from the supplier.

Our Mill Trunnion Forgings are engineered specifically for high-stress trunnion positions within ball mills, SAG mills, and heavy-duty rotary processing equipment. By integrating shaft-like structural integrity with hollow-section characteristics, these forgings are designed to withstand extreme operating loads in demanding mineral-processing and heavy-industry environments. The optimized forging route ensures a robust preform, providing a superior foundation for precision machining of bearing areas, bores, and critical sealing surfaces.

To minimize structural risk and maximize equipment longevity, we focus on precise section transition, heat-treatment compatibility, and generous dimensional allowances. Whether your project requires strict straightness control or specific stock in journals and tapers, our forging process is tailored to the machining sequence. We offer comprehensive value-added services including rough machining, 100% ultrasonic testing, and rigorous mechanical property verification to ensure every component meets the strictest global inspection standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What materials are most suitable for Mill Trunnion Forgings?

Depending on the load and environment, we typically use high-strength alloy steels such as 42CrMo4 or 34CrNiMo6. We also customize materials based on specific customer engineering drawings to meet exact hardness and tensile requirements.

Q: How do you ensure the internal quality of large-diameter forgings?

We implement 100% Ultrasonic Testing (UT) across the entire volume of the forging to detect any internal discontinuities. This is supplemented by a detailed concentricity and wall thickness report to ensure geometric integrity.

Q: Can you provide rough machining for trunnion components?

Yes, we provide rough machining on the inner diameter (ID), outer diameter (OD), and flange faces. This allows our customers to proceed directly to final precision machining with reduced risk and lower operational costs.

Q: What is the maximum weight capacity for your forged shafts?

Our current production capacity for mill trunnion forgings supports unit weights up to 80 tons, with outer diameters ranging from 800mm to 3000mm.

Q: Which certifications are provided with the shipment?

All shipments are accompanied by EN 10204 3.1 certification, which includes detailed heat treatment records, mechanical property verification, and NDT inspection reports.

Q: Why choose forged trunnions over cast alternatives?

Forging creates a continuous grain flow that follows the contour of the part, significantly increasing fatigue strength and impact resistance compared to casting, which is critical for the heavy loads found in SAG and Ball mills.
