CB90A Yaw Brake
Hydraulic applied active caliper wind turbine yaw brake
The CB90A Yaw Brake operates as a hydraulic-applied active brake system, characterized by a precise fit between the brake pad and brake, eliminating the requirement for springs. Its design allows for the generation of a substantial and customizable clamping force, facilitated by the multi-piston configuration. Integrated and fixed pad holders further enhance its suitability for integration into yaw brake systems within Wind Turbines. This design ensures optimal performance and reliability, crucial for the precise control and alignment of the turbine rotor with changing wind directions, ultimately maximizing energy capture efficiency.
