Seco Tools India (P) Ltd offers Wind Power Components.
Rotor Hub: Responsible for transferring the enormous torque of the blades to the turbine, rotor hubs operate in extremely demanding conditions. Typically produced from cast iron, the geometry of these components requires stable machining with long tool overhangs and also the creation of many holes, which are used to secure the blades.
Pitch Gear: The pitch drive system allows the blades to be turned in order to optimise performance of a wind turbine in varied conditions. Blades can be turned in and out of the wind depending on its strength, and the pitch drive also can be used to stop rotation of the blades. Machined from high grade steel, the large gears used in a pitch drive system require substantial machining to produce a finished product.
Main Frame: Forming the foundation of a wind turbine, a main frame brings together all other components to ensure proper operation. These parts require extensive milling and holemaking, and are produced from cast iron.
Yaw drive wheel: As the heart of the yaw drive system, these wheels rotate the turbine to optimise performance regardless of the wind's direction. Yaw drive wheels are typically produced from high grade steel and attached to the main frame.
Yaw drive flange: The yaw drive flange allows rotation of the turbine to account for the wind's direction. Machined from high grade steel, this heavy duty component requires multiple cutting tool applications.
Tower flange: Tower flanges are attached to the ends of segments of a wind turbine's tower and then used to connect those segments as the tower is constructed. A typical tower contains 4-6 segments, requiring 8-12 flanges. Usually produced from a steel alloy, these components require productive turning operations and machining of many holes.
Main Shaft: In most wind turbine designs, the main shaft transfers rotation of the rotor hub to the gearbox, though direct drive designs incorporate a static shaft with the rotating generator outside. Requiring extensive turning and holemaking operations, main shafts are typically machined from a high grade steel.
Main bearing housing: Mounted on the main frame, the main bearing housing contains the main bearing and is made of cast iron. Most wind turbine designs incorporate this component.
Gearbox housing: In traditional wind turbine designs, the gearbox converts the speed of 5 rpm to 20 rpm according to the size of the wind turbine to approximately 1500 rpm, allowing the wind turbine to provide suitable output. Produced from cast iron, the gearbox requires heavy machining.
Ring gear: Made from high grade steel, ring gears are located in the gearbox housing and require extensive machining of gear teeth. Planetary carrier: the planetary carrier is a component of the gearbox and typically is made of cast iron.
