Perfect pitch

Brevini's lightweight, compact slew drive gear systems are used in the wind power industry to deliver high reduction ratios and torque ratings.

In the UK and worldwide it has installed more than 70,000 pitch and yaw drives, each of which has been geared to provide continuous and reliable service for the life of the turbine.

The pitch system is responsible for controlling the angle at which the blades face the wind; it is vital these systems work reliably in order for the turbines to generate the optimum levels of energy. Brevini's planetary slew gear units provide an optimal solution for pitch drives for wind turbines up to the largest sizes considered today.
