Shaft grounding - powerful and safe
High frequency and parasitic shaft currents can severely damage gear components and bearings. Our grounding brushes reliably divert capacitive currents from the shaft, minimizing repair efforts and downtime of the wind turbine. Grounding brush holders are the perfect complement to our grounding brushes. They are designed to exactly match the grounding brushes you need. By aligning the grounding brushes correctly at all times, capacitive currents can be eliminated even under extreme conditions and at high frequencies. Our carbon fiber grounding contact also effectively diverts high-frequency interference currents away from the shaft. Our innovative system for DC and AC applications contains strands of around 200,000 tiny, electrically conductive carbon fibers. These strands are thermally treated, making them even more conductive and abrasion-resistant - so there is no need for costly coating of the bearing surfaces. In addition customized and standard designs can be assembled in the drive systems even at hard-to-reach places.
