ARPEX - Model GIGA - Wind Coupling for Wind Turbine - Brochure

The ARPEX GIGA is a powerful solution for wind turbines and integrated drive trains. It is a maintenance- and wear-free, double-joint disc coupling. Located between the rotor shaft and gear unit, the coupling protects the gear unit and drive train against bending and thrust loads from the rotor – thus significantly increasing the lifetime of bearings and gears. The coupling can transmit torques of up to 12,000,000 Nm and compensate axial, angular and radial misalignments. The ARPEX GIGA can be integrated in all wind turbine concepts (low, middle or high-speed applications). Optionally, it can be delivered as a single-joint coupling.
