Steels from the wind portfolio
In addition to the visible structures of a wind turbine, the centrepiece is now often located many metres above the ground. Shafts, gears, bearings and screws are crucial for keeping the rotor blades in motion, ensuring low-friction bearings, minimising energy losses and enabling the wind turbine to be aligned depending on the wind direction.
With the increasing height of wind turbines and the installation of turbines offshore or in other hard-to-reach locations, maintenance work on the turbines is extremely challenging. It is therefore imperative that all components are of the highest quality.
