Wind turbine linings

May 10, 2010

Carlisle Industrial Brake & Friction has introduced NoiseFree brake linings for wind turbine yaw braking applications. The linings have been developed to meet the requirements of yaw braking applications, including a high brake friction coefficient, long service life, and noise-free operation, the company states.

The linings are made from a proprietary, nonasbestos material. The friction material is co-molded directly onto the backing plate to provide shear strength and in-service integrity.

The linings are available in many shapes, dimensions, and thicknesses to fit all commonly used wind turbine calipers, including products supplied by Svendborg Brakes, Sime-Stromag, and Antec.
