Installations

Installing the Planetary Slew Drive Gearbox for Wind Turbine Yaw Systems involves several key steps. First, ensure the mounting surface is clean and level. Next, position the gearbox onto the yaw bearing, aligning the bolt holes. Secure the gearbox with high-torque bolts, following the manufacturer's specifications. After that, connect the input shaft to the turbine's drive system, ensuring proper alignment. Once connected, check the lubrication system and fill it with the recommended oil. Finally, conduct a functional test to verify the yaw system operates smoothly and without any abnormal noises.
