New Platforms




Cost reduction of a drivetrain is a significant factor when designing new power line platforms for wind turbine generators. Therefore new technologies must be introduced to respond the request coming from the market. Moventas has foreseen this development and developed a concept that enables new kind of cost efficiency throughout the drivetrain value chain. 
 
Lighter structure & Better torque density
• Remarkable product mass savings.
• Increased number of planet wheels at input stage decreases complete gear dimensions significantly.
• Highly optimized casted components and new material selections that lead to cost effective overall structure.
• No critical effects against known failure modes.
• Better serviceability; enables up-tower repair.

Revolutionary design without reliability compromises
• Increased number of planetary wheels at input stage.
• Design dimension rules updated.
• Component material changes.
• ME material is used on planet wheel and sun shaft.
• New design methods are used, however technical & reliability requirements not compromised.
• High torque carrying capacity for existing and future rotor diameters.
