Mayr Presents Smart Solutions for Wind Power 

Mayr (Hall B5, Booth 425) offers a wide range of braking solutions for servo motors in the pitch segment. In addition to the ROBA-stop M pitch brake, mayr power transmission offers further braking solutions in the ROBA servostop series, which can be installed on the A-side or B-side of the motor and are designed for temperatures up to 120°C. They have an impressive low mass inertia. For A-side flanged designs, the company offers solutions such as the ROBA alphastop brakes. Please observe that the motor then has to have an extended shaft, or the brake system has to be designed with an integrated shaft. One important characteristic of these solutions is: When the motor is removed, for example for maintenance work, the safety brake is also missing. Then safety measures are necessary to avoid any unwanted movements of the rotor blades or nacelle. The solution: Safety brakes, such as the ROBA topstop, remain on the system even when the motor is removed and reliably hold the drive line in the de-energized state. Modular systems are available with custom-fit mounting flanges and can thus be integrated flexibly into existing drives. In addition to the pitch segment, users can also rely on mayr safety brakes specifically developed and tested for yaw drives. 

With the ROBA brake-checker, mayr offers a module that monitors the safety brakes without the need for additional sensors. The module monitors the movement of the armature disk and outputs the determined switching condition via a control terminal, the signal output. The signal offers users a clear added value: The function monitoring enables an early and robust warning before the condition "brake no longer engages". This facilitates planned maintenance and enables the user to specifically investigate critical boundary conditions such as supply voltage that is too low, incorrectly dimensioned supply lines, elevated coil temperature and an enlarged air gap. The ROBA brake-checker complements conventional wear monitoring in terms of condition-based maintenance It provides highly meaningful data on the switching function and enables a targeted search for error causes such as increased wear, rising coil temperature, decreasing supply voltage or voltage drop on the feed lines of the brake. The safety and reliability of brakes increase, while maintenance planning can be optimized at the same time. 

Via the additional ROBA gateway module, the solution can be made network-capable, for example to integrate the acquired data into existing remote maintenance systems or to build digital twins.

Mobil Offers Gear Lubricants for Extreme Environments

Mobil (Hall 6, #369) SHC Gear 320 WindPower proprietary technology and in-service solutions are designed to protect gearboxes, maintain excellent performance in all conditions, optimize uptime, reduce maintenance costs, and enhance safety throughout the gearbox’s lifetime. Mobil SHC Gear 320 WT is a fully synthetic, advanced wind turbine gear lubricant designed to protect gearboxes under extreme conditions — from very low to very high temperatures and corrosive environments.

Around 60 percent of the wind turbine high speed bearing failures are reported to be caused by White Etching Cracking (WEC), a subsurface fatigue damage (cracks) that can occur without warning. This can result in premature bearing failure and can even require gearbox replacement, causing unscheduled downtime. Following a study to evaluate the impact of different lubricant technologies, DNV-GL - the world leading certification body - concluded that Mobil SHC Gear 320 WT, as the first wind turbine gear oil that obtained their certification, does not contribute to the oil related effects of WEC.

Mobil SHC Gear 320 WT meets or exceeds all lube oil requirements of IEC 61400-4 and in particular the cleanliness requirements of -/14/11 max. which helps reduce wear damage from hard particles and can help reduce the need for filtration on initial filling.

Mobil SHC Gear 320 WT contains novel, step-out, proprietary additive technology designed to offer new standards of resistance against micropitting fatigue and outstanding rust and corrosion protection. Fortified with new, low sulphur, extreme pressure technology Mobil SHC Gear 320 WT shows a very low tendency for sludge and deposit formation, helping reduce maintenance and allowing you to generate more electricity at lower costs.

Lafert Offers Custom Motors and Drives for Wind Applications

Lafert (Hall B6, #571) is involved in the design and manufacture of customized electric motors and drives, used primarily in the fields of industrial automation, energy saving and renewable energy. The company develops solutions that improve overall efficiency through synchronous and asynchronous motors that redefine standards of reliability, performance, and compactness.

Asynchronous motors are the area of greatest experience for Lafert with sixty years of consolidated presence in the sector. Today this segment is strongly influenced by increasingly restrictive and binding energy saving regulations and by the greater awareness of companies about a role of responsibility towards the environment. The High Efficiency IE2 series offers the guarantee of a reliable, resistant and solid product, which fully meets the requirements of the IE2 efficiency class, mandatory in Europe for all motors from 0.12 to 0.55 kW, and in other countries in the world.

HP Combi is a range of highly efficient motor and variable frequency drive (VFD) packaged solutions which combine industry-leading permanent magnet (PM) synchronous motor technology from Lafert with dedicated drive platforms engineered to deliver maximum energy cost savings and system performance for three application categories – pumps and fans (Combi Flow), automation and motion (Combi Plus) and general purpose (Combi Smart).
