Wind turbines are being widely constructed around the world as a next-generation source of clean energy.
A large ECHT-FLEX coupling is used to connect the gearbox and generator.

As strong winds can cause uplift and vibration, a coupling that can correct misalignment is required.
Advantages include no need for lubrication maintenance and no backlash.
In addition, by enlarging the outer diameter of the hub flange, the disc brake as a holding brake can be used.
Another advantage is that it can be integrated with a coupling.
