 Rotor and Yaw Brake System

Our rotor brakes have become an industry standard

Our rotor braking systems are more reliable than ever. Featuring easy-to-set calipers, excellent torque stability and high quality brake linings, the rotor brakes we deliver, developed in partnership with Stromag in France, have become an industry standard. Thanks to an advanced self-centering system and an automatic lining wear compensation, our products are more reliable than ever performing year after year in the most demanding conditions.

Our yaw braking systems are extremely solid

Brake applications for yaw drives are in constant use. So, our yaw braking systems are extremely resistant to wear and tear and easy to access for maintenance. This is important for carrying out regular pad adjustment to ensure no potentially damaging forces are transmitted to the turbine's structure and that sealings achieve their maximum operating life.

We can equip our braking systems with advanced safety features

Save turbine downtime and maintenance costs. On both our rotor and yaw braking systems, you can change the brake pads without having to remove the calipers from the bracket – leading to savings in turbine downtime and maintenance costs. We can also equip our braking systems with advanced safety features, such as thermal sensors that detect overheating discs and help to avoid turbine downtime.

Our braking systems can be part of a safety strategy

Our customers know that our braking systems are extremely reliable. We design for long life, trouble-free installation and minimum servicing needs and we never compromise on quality. The hydraulic system provides the functions for stopping the wind turbine in extreme weather conditions, or if technicians need to service the wind turbine. Bearing safety in mind, our braking systems can be part of your safety strategy.
