CB120A Yaw Brake
Hydraulic applied active caliper yaw brake for use in wind turbines
The CB120A Yaw Brake is a hydraulic-applied active brake system, marked by a precise fit between the brake pad and brake, negating the need for springs. This design enables the brake to generate a strong, adjustable clamping force, crucial for swiftly and accurately controlling the yaw movement of wind turbine rotors. Its multi-piston configuration, along with integrated and fixed pad holders, enhances reliability and stability within the yaw brake system, ensuring precise alignment of the turbine rotor with changing wind directions. Overall, these features make the CB120A Yaw Brake an optimal choice for safely maintaining operational efficiency in wind turbines.
Features
- Compatible with diverse disc thicknesses found in different wind turbine designs to enable optimal braking performance.
- Integrates seamlessly into the yaw systems of wind turbines, providing swift and reliable braking control essential in turbine operation.
- Large brake pad areas minimize wear, stress, and high disc temperatures found within wind turbines to enhance the longevity and performance of the wind turbine’s brake system.
- Features a design with minimal moving parts, allowing for easy maintenance that reduces downtime. Safe handling is ensured during maintenance procedures with the inclusion of lifting eyes.
- Equipped with drain ports to capture any potential hydraulic fluid leakage minimizes the risk of contamination and maintains the integrity and reliability of daily wind turbine operation.
- Designed to work seamlessly with a variety of monitoring systems to allow for comprehensive oversight and control of brakes to optimize turbine performance and maintenance scheduling.
- Offers a wide selection of friction materials to meet specific wind turbine operational requirements within varying environmental conditions.
