Mounts take the shake out of wind power

The Simrit standard range includes a large selection of conical mounts, ultra bushes and V-mounts that are ideal for damping vibration in wind power plants.

Vibrations in wind power plants can cause more than just increased wear; they can also cause disturbing structure-borne noise.

At the same time, the secure and low-loss transfer of forces and momentum from the rotor to the generator is indispensable for the efficient use of energy.

The Simrit standard range includes a large selection of conical mounts, ultra bushes and V-mounts especially for these applications.

Conical mounts are elastic connecting elements featuring largely conical inner and outer sleeves.

They are extremely effective in damping vertical vibrations and can at the same time absorb horizontal forces.

In this way, they ensure safe mounting and fix the component securely in the horizontal while providing sufficient insulation against structure borne noise.

They also minimise the tendency to tilt.

Conical mounts are generally made of highly elastic natural rubber mixtures that are protected against aging and ozone.

When subjected to loads, the mount's special contour ensures a pressure and shearing load in the rubber, which in turn increases the service life of the parts.

The elastomer is securely bonded to the inner and outer sleeves by means of vulcanisation.

This increases service life and significantly reduces the tendency to creep.

Where necessary, Simrit works hand in hand with wind power plant design engineers to develop special solutions for bearings and vibration control solutions.
