Custom Mill Trunnion Forgings China Suppliers | Heavy Duty Shaft Factory
Leading China factory and suppliers of high-strength mill trunnion forgings. Engineered for SAG and ball mills with superior grain flow and UT 100 inspection for maximum load capacity.
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
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.
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.
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.
Our current production capacity for mill trunnion forgings supports unit weights up to 80 tons, with outer diameters ranging from 800mm to 3000mm.
All shipments are accompanied by EN 10204 3.1 certification, which includes detailed heat treatment records, mechanical property verification, and NDT inspection reports.
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.
