FAQS

Our experience with the major wind turbine manufacturers around the world has given us the insight and knowledge to supply products to enable like-for-like performance replacement brushes for Vestas and Gamesa wind turbine platforms. 

The main brush types offered are Generator Phase Brushes, Ground Brushes, Lightning protection Brushes, and those used for pitch control, signal applications, and auxiliary equipment.

FAQS

The brush grades offered vary dependent upon wind turbine manufacturer, platform, and application and generally encompass Silver and Copper Graphite material types, although other less popular material classifications can also be provided for Wind applications.

When identifying a product for supply an OE part No. is generally all that is required, although nominal T.A.R dimensions (Tangential, Axial, Radial) along with details such as contact face radius, flex length, and type of termination can also facilitate a positive identification for supply.
