Solutions for the energy of today and tomorrow

When generating electricity in wind turbines, you need to be able to rely on components that consistently deliver top performance, even under the harshest climatic conditions. Our carbon brushes and brush holder systems for generators and pitch systems do just that, bringing performance, economy and reliability to a successful common denominator in the onshore and offshore sectors.

Our carbon brushes perform excellently, even under high current densities, vibrations, dust generation, high speeds or adverse weather conditions. No wonder, since every solution incorporates our broad knowledge of application technology and our leading materials expertise. With Schunk, you can rely on a long service life, outstanding performance and very good value when it comes to safe power and signal transmission and grounding. 

Hydrogen is highly combustable and highly explosive. Test facilities for H2 applications must therefore be designed to be particularly safe. As an experienced testing technology specialist, Weiss Technik has developed a unique, multifunctional and modular H2 safety concept together with TÜV-Rheinland Industrieservice GmbH.

Fuel cells and energy storage systems will play a key role in the energy supply of the future. The graphite bipolar plates required for this are available from Schunk - made of corrosion-resistant high-performance materials and with the commitment of being able to be produced in high volumes for your success.

As a specialist in environmental simulation, Weiss Technik offers a broad portfolio of sophisticated testing technology for testing electrical energy storage systems - from cells to complete drive units for vehicles - under all thermal, climatic and mechanical loads.

As the innovation and market leader for ultrasonic metal welding, Schunk Sonosystems covers the entire range of applications in battery technology - from cell production to interconnection and battery contacting.

New energies require new ideas. Schunk Xycarb Technology's technical expertise for SiC-coated graphite and quartz products can contribute to the production of highly efficient multi-junction solar cells. This could make the generation of solar power far more economical in the future.
