Innovative Solutions to Wind Turbine Applications

Flexible Composite Disc Couplings

Advanced and patented all-in-one technological solution for wind turbine drivetrains with capacities up to 5MW.

• Suitable for Turbines both Onshore and Offshore
• Robust Torque Capacity with current designs capable of handling up to 200,000Nm
• Intelligent design to minimize reaction loads while providing the required torsional stiffness value to suite the drivetrain requirements
• High misalignment capability
• Extreme Fatigue endurance in a light weight package
• Designed and Engineered to perform in new OEM turbines or existing drivetrain applications
• Proven to perform with no maintenance for 20 plus years
• Easy to install either on the production floor or in the cramped Up Tower environment
• Electrical Isolation properties capable of nullifying current leak from the Generator into the Gearbox through the use of 2 Flexible Composite Discs
• All components meet or exceed a C4 High Corrosion Resistance Standard

Protects wind turbines against peak loads, reverse torques and grid shorts. Established designs for slip torque values ranging from 4,000 to 50,000Nm.

• Designed to protect both the gearbox and generator from extreme torque and damage
• Generator shaft mounted to avoid resonance concerns and installation difficulties
• Proven and tested to 5,600 torque events of 30°
• Operation of the device occurs internally and requires no readjusting or maintenance
• Automatic re-engagement no manual intervention to reset after slip event
• Bi-directional functionality – no limitations
• Wide temperature range -40° to 80°C
• Engineered to function in unison with the Zero-Max

Composite Disc Coupling whereby protecting and serving all drivetrain requirements. Making it by far the most reliable solution in the Wind Industry.
