Rotor clips for wind power applications

A manufacturer of retaining rings provides them in large sizes, high-carbon steel, and a variety of configurations to retain bearings and other components in wind-turbine assemblies. Wind-power applications for Rotor Clip retaining rings include pitch systems, main shaft bearings, yaw systems, gearbox bearings, generator bearings, and brake equipment.

Four large Rotor Clip retaining rings give an idea of how large the rings can be. Rings can be made up to 1,000-mm dia. to suit the specific requirements of any of the listed applications.

The retaining rings are engineered components with tooling designed by the company’s engineering staff and built by its tool room. All processes are performed in-house including forming the rings according to exacting specifications and heat treating them in our own in-house furnaces. Heat treating is critical because the ring’s performance depends on reaching a pre-determined hardness, which is assured through computerized feeding mechanisms and strict quality-checking procedures. The company is a recognized quality manufacturer holding a TS16949 certification and known globally as a supplier to many of the world’s largest OEM producers.
