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 afterslip event
- Bi-directional functionality – no limitations
- Wide temperature range -40° to 80°C
- Engineered to function in unison with the Zero-Max
