CB90R Rotor Brake
Hydraulic applied active caliper rotor brake for wind turbines
The Stromag CB90R Rotor Brake provides an essential wind turbine braking capability by controlling the rotation of wind turbine blades. It operates using hydraulic pressure to actively engage the brake pads, which are designed to exert a high and adjustable clamping force on the rotor brake disc. This hydraulic application ensures prompt, safe, and efficient braking when needed. This rotor brake incorporates a spring return mechanism that retracts the brake pads automatically upon the release of hydraulic pressure, enabling swift disengagement and allowing the blades to resume normal rotation. The brake's multi-piston design enhances its braking performance and durability, while the integrated and fixed pad holders ensure precise and consistent braking action. This makes the CB90R Rotor Brake an ideal choice for rotor brake systems in wind turbines, where reliability, precision, and performance are paramount.
Features
- Compatible with several disc thicknesses ensures versatility and optimal performance across different wind turbine setups, allowing for seamless integration without compromising braking efficiency.
- The hydraulic system ensures efficient braking force, crucial for controlling the rotation of the turbine blades, while the spring return mechanism facilitates automatic retraction of the brake pads upon the release of hydraulic pressure, enabling swift disengagement and allowing the blades to resume normal operation promptly.
- Customizable air gap design that can be precisely adjusted and tailored to the specific requirements of the wind turbine system allowing for easy installation and quick response time.
- Larger brake pad design evenly distributes wear on the brake pads, reduces stress on the braking system, and helps maintain lower disc temperatures during braking to provide reliable wind turbine operation over extended periods.
- Simplified rotor brake design to ease maintenance procedures and reduce the likelihood of mechanical failures. Additionally, integrated lifting eyes facilitate safe and easy handling during servicing to help streamline maintenance operations and minimize turbine downtime.
- Incorporates strategically placed drain ports to collect and direct leaked hydraulic fluid away from critical components to prevent damage or system malfunctions.
- Easily accommodates various monitoring systems, allowing for comprehensive oversight that optimizes wind turbine performance and reliability by facilitating timely maintenance interventions.
- Can be outfitted with a wide selection of friction materials, allowing for customized choices to meet specific performance requirements and environmental conditions encountered in wind turbine applications.
