Wind turbines
Gearboxes influence the absolute power output of wind turbines by setting and maintaining the perfect angle of attack. Costs arise mainly in the area of maintenance and the necessary shutdown due to overloading of the gearboxes at high wind speeds. Monitoring the condition of the gearbox is essential for optimal operation in order to reduce downtime and maximise service life.

Our innovation
The special properties of our solutions can be used in the actuators of wind turbines and equip them with previously unattained performance values. The high transmission ratio, system rigidity and self-locking prevent further rotation when the desired position is reached. The high torque capacity results in a low need for gearboxes per system. Transport and installation are facilitated due to the compact gearbox, which is particularly valuable for offshore installations. Maintenance costs can be reduced through a sensor-based predictive maintenance solution.
