GE Yaw Brake Upgrade
Original Design
Problem: Noise (Fog horning) and the High Cost to Maintain Yaw Brakes
High variability in torque values lead to uneven loading on brake pads causing vibration (fog horning). And piston/stem interface cause premature component failures.
Wind Solution Design
Solution: Wind Solutions Threaded Bushing with Anti-rotation Washer
The threaded bushing design improves preload accuracy and system reliability; and eliminating noise issues. It also reduces component failures and improve safety by reducing safety issues with high torque equipment.
