CB90R Ultra Rotor Brake
Hydraulic applied active caliper wind turbine rotor brake
The CB90R Ultra Rotor Brake operates via hydraulic application, to actively engage the brake pads against the rotor brake disc to control the rotation of turbine blades. This hydraulic system ensures efficient braking force, 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, contributing to the overall efficiency and safety of the turbine. The multi-piston design distributes braking force evenly across the brake pads, maximizing braking efficiency and minimizing wear on the wind turbine. The fixed pad holders ensure precise and consistent braking action, contributing to the longevity and reliability of the brake system.
Features
- Able to fit on a range of disc thicknesses commonly found in wind turbine systems, allowing for seamless integration without compromising braking efficiency or safety.
- Utilizing hydraulic pressure, the rotor brake actively engages the brake pads to control the rotation of the turbine blades. The spring return mechanism ensures swift retraction of the brake pads upon pressure release, enabling prompt disengagement and allowing the blades to return to normal operation safely and quickly.
- Highly adjustable air gap design not only facilitates easy installation, but also minimizes response time, enhancing overall wind turbine braking performance.
- The rotor brake has a large brake pad to evenly disperse wear, stress, and maintain a lower overall disc temperature during braking. This increases durability and longevity, ensuring reliable operation over the lifespan of the turbine.
- Engineered with few moving parts to simplify maintenance and reduce the likelihood of mechanical failures. Integrated lifting eyes facilitate safe and easy handling during servicing to minimize downtime.
- Includes drain ports to effectively collect potential fluid leakage and safeguard against damage from contamination or malfunctions to provide a reliable rotor brake designed for longevity.
- Comes ready for installation of various monitoring systems to track wind turbine performance metrics and detect potential issues before they occur.
- A wide selection of friction materials available to allow for customization to suit the unique needs of different wind turbine setups, optimizing braking efficiency and reliability.
