6 FAQs about [Wind turbine yaw caliper]

What is a yaw caliper (brake)?

A yaw caliper, also known as a yaw brake, is a component that functions as a static holding brake when the nacelle is positioned into the wind. Our base mounted caliper is designed for larger, heavy-duty turbine applications. Typically, yaw brakes may act directly on the yaw ring or matrix plate-type brakes are mounted on the non-driving end of the yaw motors.

What is a wind turbine yaw brake?

A wind turbine yaw brake is located on the yaw-system. It smoothly controls and positions the nacelle as it rotates with the wind to maximise power. The rotor brake can be mounted on the rotor (low-speed shaft) or generator (high-speed shaft). Used for parking and emergency stop operations.

What is a hydraulic Active yaw brake caliper?

Hydraulic active yaw brake caliper A hydraulic active yaw brake with GL Type Certification and braking force of 620 kN. A passive yaw sliding bearing with a robust yet simple design that guarantees optimum performance throughout the life of the turbine.

What are yaw brakes?

Yaw brakes can be active hydraulic calipers that are activated by the action of a hydraulic system. At ANTEC we are also specialists in hybrid yaw brakes, which combine hydraulic action to retain the turbine, with a passive system that allows orientation to the wind, minimizing the risk of noise and vibrations in the wind turbine.
