Application of Our Main Products in the Wind Power Generation

As a critical pillar of global renewable energy development, wind power generation demands high-reliability, high-efficiency, and low-maintenance equipment to withstand harsh operating conditions—from coastal salt spray to high-altitude temperature fluctuations. Leveraging our 42-model product portfolio, we have tailored core solutions for wind power systems, covering key links such as power transmission, speed control, and auxiliary operations. Our products not only meet the strict technical standards of the wind power industry but also deliver long-term value through energy efficiency and durability.

2. Competitive Advantages for Wind Power Applications

Our products stand out in the wind power sector by addressing three core industry challenges: reliability in harsh environments, energy efficiency for operational cost savings, and long service life for reduced downtime.

2.1 Extreme Environmental Adaptability

  • Corrosion Resistance: Gear reducers and motors use marine-grade stainless steel (316L) for key components, with a double-layer electrophoretic coating that resists salt spray corrosion—ideal for offshore wind farms (tested to 1,000 hours of salt spray exposure without rust).

  • Temperature Tolerance: All products undergo -30℃ low-temperature start-up testing and 60℃ high-temperature continuous operation testing, ensuring stable performance in cold northern plains and hot coastal areas.

  • Dust & Moisture Protection: IP65-rated enclosures prevent dust ingress and water splashing, critical for onshore turbines in dusty or rainy regions.

2.2 High Efficiency & Energy Savings

  • Reduced Energy Loss: Helical gear reducers adopt precision ground gears (tooth profile accuracy: DIN 5) and optimized bearing arrangements, cutting transmission energy loss by 3–5% compared to industry averages—equivalent to saving 2,000+ kWh annually per 2.5MW turbine.

  • High-Efficiency Motors: IE4-rated motors reduce auxiliary power consumption by 18–22% versus IE3 models, lowering the overall energy consumption of turbine auxiliary systems.

  • Smart Cooling: Vortex blowers with variable frequency drives (VFD) adjust airflow based on real-time temperature, reducing fan energy use by 30% during low-load operation.

2.3 Long Service Life & Low Maintenance

  • Durable Components: Gear shafts are made of 20CrNiMo alloy steel (hardness: HRC 58–62) with carburizing treatment, extending gear life to 15–20 years (50% longer than standard gears).

  • Sealed Lubrication: Gear reducers use a labyrinth seal + mechanical seal combination, preventing oil leakage and reducing lubricant replacement frequency from 6 months to 2 years.

  • Predictive Maintenance Compatibility: Key models support integration with condition monitoring systems (vibration, temperature, oil quality sensors), enabling early fault detection and reducing unplanned downtime by 40%.

2.4 Customization for Turbine Capacity

We offer tailor-made gear ratios for different turbine capacities (e.g., 1:15 for 1.5MW turbines, 1:22 for 5MW turbines) to match specific speed control requirements.

Motors can be customized with special shaft extensions and flange sizes to fit non-standard nacelle layouts, with a fast design lead time of 2–3 weeks.


3. Proven Application Cases

Our products have been deployed in over 200 wind power projects across Asia, Europe, and Africa, with verified performance in real-world conditions.

4. Commitment to Wind Power Development

We are dedicated to supporting the global transition to clean energy by continuously optimizing our wind power product lineup:

  • R&D Investment: 10% of annual revenue is invested in developing next-generation products, such as compact gear reducers for 10MW+ large turbines and ultra-high-efficiency PMSMs.

  • Sustainable Manufacturing: 40% of raw materials used in production are recycled (e.g., recycled steel for gear blanks), reducing carbon emissions per unit product by 30%.

  • Technical Support: We provide on-site installation guidance and 24/7 after-sales service for wind farms, with spare parts delivery within 48 hours for urgent needs.

By combining technical excellence with a customer-centric approach, we aim to be the trusted partner for wind power developers worldwide, driving the industry toward more efficient, reliable, and sustainable growth.
