Customizing torsionally rigid disc couplings with shrink disc for wind turbines

February 1, 2021 By Mike Santora Leave a Comment

Ringfeder-wind-turbine-farm

Couplings play a critical role in energy equipment — especially wind turbines. These durable components, which connect the gearbox to the generator, ensure the rotor blade system is operating as it should. Without the right coupling, a wind turbine can’t function properly, driving up maintenance costs and downtime. These scenarios are not welcome—especially since any […]
