Monoblock Rotor Shafts for Power Generators

Rotor shafts used in power plant turbines need to withstand extremely severe operating conditions with high levels of temperature, pressure and rotation. As power generation capacity increases, the larger shafts are required.

Using a wealth of forging techniques that have been sophisticated since foundation, JSW develops and manufactures monoblock rotor shafts from large steel ingots, which reduce the need for welds or other joints.
The world’s largest production facilities, including a 14,000-ton press, has enabled JSW to manufacture shafts from 600-ton steel ingots. And, in response to further demand for increases in generation capacity, we have developed manufacturing techniques for 670-ton ingots, the largest in the world, have been developed and introduced to the market.
