Kuma Brake Pads
KUMA Brake Pads is a manufacturer of sintered friction material for wind turbine applications. The products are used on the hydraulic brake Galiper on the high-speed rotor. Designed according to OEM specifications for GE, Vestas, Gamesa, Siemens, Nordtank, Senvion, and
most turbines, KUMA sintered brakes pads and products are submitted to extreme conditions tests to ensure high quality. The product is manufactured in North America based on ISO 9001-2015 standards and is also approved by GE for its 1X and 2X turbine platforms. www.bbgroup.ca
Lightning Bolt and Supply
Lightning Bolt offers a wide selection of ISO-DIN-EU fasteners that are commonly used in the wind turbine industry. www.lightningboltandsupply.com
Mersen
Mersen has made advances in the domain of genera-
tor slip-ring and carbon brush technology resulting in improved performance and reduced operating costs. The increased demand for additional power output or turbine up-ratings requires a deep technical understanding of the generator’s dynamic behavior and rotor loads in Double Fed Induction turbines. The SR13-15 is an upgrade to one of the most common wind turbine generators in North America. Its robust and enhanced design accommodates high operating loads and boosts up the initial limitations of the turbine. It has proven to run cooler, improve brush life, and increase turbine availability in high winds. www.mersen.com
Morgan Advanced Materials
Bearing fluting from electrical current is a major cause of
costly pitch motor failures. To protect these motors, Morgan offers grounding solutions which are fast and easy to install, even up-tower, and without the removing or disassembly of brakes. By shunting electrical current around the bearings,
they maximize protection of this valuable equipment. Morgan designs are lightweight, compact, and can retrofit existing motors. Morgan pitch motor grounding solutions come equipped with a constant force spring resulting in consistent brush pressure and a silver/graphite brush for low contact drop insur- ing this is the path of least resistance for current flow. www.morganelectricalmaterials.com
Motion Industries, Inc.
