Energy producers need innovative solutions to increase wind turbine uptime and efficiency. Now there is a better way to transmit torque between the turbine gearbox and generator while protecting attached components from overload and stray currents.By bolting durable Lovejoy® couplings to an AeroTorque WindTC™ torque control device, The Timken Company has engineered a stronger, more reliable gearbox-to-generator connection proven to reduce peak torque by up to 40% and torque oscillations by up to 70%.
The result is optimal protection for multi-megawatt turbines, helping to extend the life of critical powertrain components. This exclusive coupling arrangement integrates directly with the generator hub, includes an anti-flail feature, and uses a composite fiberglass spacer for weight and cost efficiencies.
As wind power reaches new heights, turbine availability will increasingly depend on new approaches to technical challenges.
