ROEMHELD Improves Performance of Rotorlock System for Wind Turbines
The Rotorlock locking system has been developed for application in wind power stations with a nominal capacity of up to 7 MW. It absorbs transverse forces of up to 7,500 kN (photograph: ROEMHELD)Official Press Release ROEMHELD:
ROEMHELD: “Rotorlock” locking system now rated for transverse forces of up to 7,500 kN and wind turbines up to 7 MW
Solid system for maintenance work on onshore and offshore stations
ROEMHELD has improved the performance of its modular locking system “Rotorlock” for the inspection and maintenance of wind power stations. With a transverse force absorption of up to 7,500 kN, the systems reliably and safely lock rotors with a maximum capacity of 7 MW. Customer-specific variants with higher values are also possible. Due to their design and special coating, they are maintenance-free and corrosion-free through the entire service life of onshore and offshore stations. The core of Rotorlock is a double-action, hydraulically or electromechanically driven pin that quickly and reliably locks the rotor disc. Non-contact position monitoring transmits the end positions “rotor... ... More: Official Press Release ROEMHELD
