Svendborg Rotor Lock Solutions 

Rotor Locks are used in the wind turbine industry and are typically mounted to the turbine´s main rotor shaft, between gearbox and generator. 
A rotor brake is primarily intended for use as safety brake during emergency stops under high wind conditions. Svendborg Brakes rotor lock units hold a global market leading position. 
 
The rotor lock is activated by running the lock bolt into the lock disc using hydraulic power; a "locked" signal is then transmitted to the control system. The units are engineered to handle the large output torque generated by the high ratios found in wind turbine gearboxes. 
Svendborg Brakes operate with three types of Rotor Lock solutions: 
 
LSM – Manual driven / LSA – Hydraulic driven / LSL - Electrical driven, all with position Indicator switch providing complete safety.
