Rotabolt the solution to Fatigue Failure One of the worlds leading wind turbine manufacturers, Suzlon, has chosen Rotabolt to secure the blades of its wind turbines...Suzlon Energy, India
Fatigue is a common failure in bolted joints that are subject to cycle loading. Failure occurs when bolts are tightened with insufficient bolt tension.
The joint securing the blade to the turbine hub is subjected to complex, dynamic, cyclic loads and has a life expectancy of 20 years. It is crucial that the correct bolt tension is achieved on installation and maintained throughout the life of the joint.
Traditional bolt checking using torque wrenches was ineffective, lacked assurance, was time consuming and expensive.
With Rotabolts now installed, checking procedures are 100% reliable, ten times quicker to do and a lot cheaper than traditional methods.
