unusual facts about Yaw bearing


Yaw bearing

Conventional gliding yaw bearings incorporate gliding elements manufactured out of polymer plastics such as POM or PA.


Yaw system

The various components of the modern active yaw systems vary depending on the design characteristics but all the active yaw systems include a means of rotatable connection between nacelle and tower (yaw bearing), a means of active variation of the rotor orientation (i.e. yaw drive), a means of restricting the rotation of the nacelle (yaw brake) and a control system which processes the signals from wind direction sensors (e.g. wind vanes) and gives the proper
