BSAB120 Yaw Brake
Hydraulic applied active caliper yaw brake
The BSAB120 Yaw Brake is a hydraulic-applied active brake system designed with a precision fit between the brake pad and brake, eliminating the necessity for springs. Noteworthy for its ability to generate a customizable, substantial clamping force, these brakes are engineered as multi-piston units with integrated and fixed pad holders. These brakes are easily integrated into yaw brake systems to ensure that the rotor is consistently aligned with the wind direction for optimal energy production.
Features
- This brake's adaptability to different disc thicknesses allows for compatibility with the diverse configurations found in wind turbine systems.
- Using hydraulic pressure, the brake ensures reliable and efficient operation within the wind turbine's yaw system, contributing to precise control and performance.
- With a large brake pad area, the brake system minimizes wear and stress on components, enhancing longevity and performance in the demanding environment of wind turbines.
- Featuring few moving parts, the brake system offers ease of maintenance, reducing downtime and operational costs. Additionally, lifting eyes facilitate safe handling during maintenance procedures.
- Incorporating drain ports for the collection of potential hydraulic fluid leakage, the brake system mitigates the risk of contamination, ensuring the reliability and integrity of the wind turbine's operation.
- This brake system is designed to accommodate the installation of various monitoring systems, allowing for comprehensive oversight and control of brake performance and condition.
- Offering a wide selection of friction materials, this brake series enables customization to suit specific operational requirements and environmental conditions within wind turbine applications.
