The big ring gear is used in wind power, which helps transfer the rotational energy from the turbine's blades to the generator. These gears are typically part of the gearbox assembly within the wind turbine. The gearbox contains multiple stages of gears that step up the relatively slow rotation of the turbine blades to the high-speed rotation required by the generator to produce electricity efficiently.

The big ring gears in wind turbine gearboxes are designed to withstand high torque, variable loads, and harsh environmental conditions. They are precision-engineered to minimize friction and wear, ensuring efficient power transmission and long-term reliability. These gears are often made of high-strength alloy steels and undergo rigorous testing to ensure they can withstand the demanding operational conditions of wind power applications.
