Wind Power Industry

Wind power technology Couplings, brakes and coolers Even though the wind power industry is now as much a growth industry as ever, manufacturers face intense competition and cost pressures. The "energy cost" indicator is decisive, ie the ratio of operating expenses to energy production.

This calculation includes levels of efficiency, availability and maintenance effort. This means for manufacturers: The efficiency, quality and reliability of machines must meet the highest standards. The drive train is crucial here. This applies to all areas of application in wind power plants (onshore, offshore, power supply, weak wind areas).

Another trend is the increasing performance of plants, especially in offshore fields. At present, a power plant with a power of 8 MW and a rotor diameter of 170 meters has been built.

For more than 25 years, our company has developed and manufactured drive components and systems for more than 100,000 wind power plants. The product portfolio includes couplings with and without overload protection and torque measurement, as well as rotor and yaw brakes.
