Superior Braking System Design for Static and Dynamic Applications

DELLNER WIND SOLUTIONS offers design services to support the development of braking systems.

• Review of input data received
• Determine quantity, type and distribution of calipers
• Determine quantity, size and distribution of yaw drives (if needed)
• CAD modeling of yaw brake disc and possible main frame adjustments
• Setting up a global FEM model to determine the deformations and resulting loading on calipers, pads and bolts.

Strength assessment of the following components:

• Yaw brake calipers
• Main frame
• Yaw brake disc
• Bolted connection between calipers and main frame
• Lower, upper and radial brake pads
• Verification of yaw drives and yaw pinion

Create specifications for machinery components (yaw drives and pinion) and bolts (size, number, type, pretension level and tightening method)
