Wind Turbine Gearbox Types

As for the type of gearbox used in wind turbines, planetary gearboxes stand out for their efficiency and strength. Unlike helical or spur gear transmissions, planetary designs distribute loads across multiple gears, reducing wear and extending service life. This makes it ideal for wind turbines, where a stable power output is crucial.

In wind power systems, yaw drive gearboxes are essential to align the cabin with the wind direction, ensuring optimal energy capture. At the same time, the variable-pitch drive gearbox adjusts the angle of the turbine blades to adjust the speed and protect the system from extreme winds. Both rely on robust planetary designs to withstand dynamic loads and harsh environmental conditions.

Our range of planetary transmissions can be tailored to a wide range of turbine sizes and operational needs, covering yaw and pitch systems as well as the main drive train. This versatility gives purchasing managers a reliable, high-performance solution for every component of wind power generation.
