When a customer needed gears delivered in three weeks, here's how Brevini Wind got it done. Recently a South American manufacturer needed four Large, double-internal replacement ring gears for its sugar mill, and the OEM who provided the originals was quoting eight months lead time. Unfortunately, they needed their parts faster - much faster. Looking for alternative manufacturers, they called on Brevini Wind, in Yorktown, IN. "We were challenged to produce four large, double-internal ring gears in three weeks," says Dale Harder, director of facility operations at Brevini Wind USA. Each of the large planetary components contained two internal gears. On one end was a 12-module, 76-tooth, 282 mm face width internal gear. On the other end was an 8-module, 116-tooth, 140 mm face width internal gear.
