Wind Energy

The wind turbine is a complex electromechanical machine that uses various motorised mechanisms to transform the kinetic energy of the wind into electrical energy: from systems for the proper positioning of blades and nacelle to cooling systems. We develop the right motors for all applications within a wind turbine: customised for maximum energy efficiency and reliability.

Our engineers are APQP4WIND certified to ensure that our products meet the quality standards required by the industry.

 

We develop solutions with a focus on:

  • Specific corrosion protection for both onshore and offshore applications
  • Special electrical characteristics that enable the motor to work and increase its service life even though the supply current is not linear
  • Provide maximum torque density to minimise the weight the wind turbine will have to support.

PITCH DRIVE

The Pitch Drive is the motorised system that enables the tilting of the blades of a wind turbine and optimises the extraction of energy from the wind.



The motors powering the cogwheels at the base of each blade's movement must ensure maximum precision and locking of the assumed position by resisting the wind.

 

Our HPS solution, a permanent magnet motor combined with an encoder or resolver for precise positioning of the motor, features the necessary compactness of weights and volumes, guaranteeing braking precision and accompanied acceleration.
