ARPEX wind coupling for your wind turbine
With over 30 years of experience in the field of coupling design for wind turbines and a comprehensive series portfolio, we can offer our customers coupling solutions for a wide range of requirements. The continuous development of our ARPEX couplings and the global manufacturing on state-of-the-art production facilities makes us a strong partner. Flender and Winergy - two strong brands under one corporate roof for the optimum wind turbine.
ARPEX ARV wind coupling
ARPEX ARV wind couplings are used in the drive train between the gear unit and generator to transmit torque and to compensate for misalignment. In the series supply are couplings up to a power of 6MW. The compact design allows radial assembly and disassembly without displacement of the gear unit or generator. The design characteristics and material combinations guarantee a long lifetime under wide-ranging environmental influences. The stainless steel disk packs with optimized disk contours, specially developed for use in the drive trains of wind turbines, ensure high torque transmission and, at the same time, high misalignment values with low restoring forces. They are designed for a long service life.
Optionally, the couplings can be equipped with a torque limiter to protect the drive train against overload torques. The self-adjusting system is designed to be able to continue operation after a trigger event without the need for manual adjustment. The design characteristics and material combinations are conceived for a long lifetime under varying environmental conditions.
ARPEX GIGA wind coupling
The ARPEX GIGA is a powerful solution for wind turbines and integrated drive trains. It is a double-joint disk coupling designed for low-maintenance operation. No scheduled replacement of the disk packs is necessary when used as intended. Located between the rotor shaft and gear unit, the coupling reduces bending and thrust loads from the rotor in the gear unit and drive train, which can contribute to increased lifetime of the bearings and gears. The coupling can transmit torques of up to 12,000,000 Nm and compensate axial, angular and radial misalignments.
The ARPEX GIGA can be integrated in all wind turbine concepts (low, middle or high-speed applications). Optionally, it can be delivered as a single-joint coupling.
Did you know?
We use our patented conical bolting to connect the plate packs to the hub and spacer flanges. The conical bolting system, which has been tried and tested for decades, offers a reliable and easy-to-use bolting solution that ensures short assembly times. During service work, the conical bolting on the turbine can be easily disassembled and reassembled by using standard tools.
