KTR-STOP YAW brakes specially designed for wind turbines
The KTR-STOP YAW brakes are specially designed to align the wind turbine with the wind direction.
Huge wind turbine holding force of up to 542KN per brake is required to protect it from wind gusts and high loads.
Up to 12 such brakes are used in large wind turbines of more than 1 MW.
The continuous switching of "Stop-Start " requires the use of materials with minimal wear.
