Braking Systems
Overview
It’s inspection time for a wind turbine. Before the engineers can access the nacelle the wind turbine must be stopped. In fact, exactly in a predetermined position. After all, the service staff must be able to gain access to the hub. This necessitates that the rotor is secured in a safe position.
Compared to the past, this is easily accomplished today: the electro-hydraulic brake control stops the rotor exactly in the required position and automatically engages the rotor arresting system.
Technical features of the electrohydraulic brake control:
- Precise open-/closed loop control capability
- Very compact design
- Integrated safety functions
- Easy commissioning
- Highly environmentally compatible
- Designed for an operating time customary for this application
- Tailored solutions based on modular concepts
- Drive rating between 0.18 and 4.0 kW
- Volumetric flow rates from 1.2 to 14.8 l/min
- Tank capacity from 1 to 60 l
- Tank of steel, aluminum or plastic
