Rotary Joint for Wind Turbine Applications
Media interface for yaw and pitch service circuits in wind power generation
Overview
Wind turbines operate in some of the most demanding service environments: continuous outdoor exposure, wide temperature swings, salt spray near coasts and remote sites where maintenance visits are expensive. Rotary joints on turbine platforms — often called windmill joints — serve the hydraulic and lubrication circuits that keep yaw drives, pitch systems and auxiliary equipment working through the nacelle's rotating interfaces. Ruitus supplies rotary joints for wind power applications engineered for long maintenance intervals and reliable sealing under these conditions; because turbine models and circuit layouts differ, each joint is specified against the equipment requirements. Contact Ruitus with your turbine service circuit details for a matched design.
