Our Components for Wind Power
Systems for wind turbines
We have been active in this sector for more than 35 years, initially solely as a component supplier. We now develop and manufacture multifunctional assemblies specifically for use in wind turbines – onshore and offshore. Our product range includes couplings with and without overload protection, torque sensors, coolers, and rotor and azimuth brakes. Our products are used in the drivetrain, the azimuth system and on the transformer.
Higher, bigger, more powerful – that is the motto in the wind power industry. Performance expectations for wind turbines are constantly rising, and with them the expectations placed on our products. Designing a turbine requires collaboration across many different specialist fields. These are typically projects in which our engineers work closely with the design engineers of the turbine manufacturers.
RADEX-N steel laminae coupling with integrated slip unit – transmits torque between the gearbox and the generator and also protects the drive system from load peaks.
DATAFLEX High Torque – for non-contact torque measurement.
Hydraulic KTR-STOP, electromechanical EMB-STOP – these rotor brakes are designed as disc brakes and are manufactured in both active and passive versions.
KTR-STOP YAW – located at the junction between the tower and the nacelle, the hydraulic yaw brake ensures that the nacelle maintains its position.
KTR-STOP RL and EMB-STOP RL – a locking system (Rotor Lock) used to lock the rotor in place; the bolt is operated either hydraulically, electrically or manually.
OAC oil-air cooler – for cooling the insulating oil in transformers, to effectively dissipate power losses in the form of heat.
