BSAK300 Rotor Brake
Active hydraulic-applied, floating caliper wind turbine rotor brake
The adaptable BSAK300 series are hydraulic applied, floating active brakes. The brake pads feature spring return functionality upon the release of hydraulic pressure that disengages the rotor brake so that wind can once again freely rotate the turbine blades, allowing normal operation to resume. With a range of models available, tailored to meet customer requirements for performance as well footprint specifications, the BSAK300 series is perfectly suited for integration into wind turbine rotor brake environments.
Features
- Compatible with various disc thicknesses, ensuring optimal performance as rotor brakes for a variety of wind turbine models.
- Utilizes hydraulic application and incorporates a floating design with spring return functionality, allowing for efficient braking and reliable pad retraction upon pressure release. This is essential for operational efficiency and safely engaging and disengaging the rotation of wind turbine blades.
- Customizable air gap settings facilitate easy installation and reduced response time which enhances overall performance and responsiveness of the wind turbine rotor brake system.
- Features a large brake pad area, effectively minimizing wear, stress, and lowering disc temperatures - crucial for maintaining the effectiveness of wind turbine rotor brakes throughout their lifespan.
- Designed with simplicity in mind, this rotor brake is comprised of few moving parts for ease of maintenance, while integrated lifting eyes ensure safe handling during servicing.
- Equipped with drain ports to efficiently collect potential leaks and eliminate the risk of contamination to ensure consistent functionality of the rotor brake system.
- Prepared for seamless integration of various monitoring systems, enabling comprehensive oversight and proactive maintenance planning to optimize wind turbine performance and reliability.
- Offers a diverse selection of friction materials, allowing for tailored choices to meet specific performance requirements and environmental conditions encountered in wind turbine rotor braking applications.
