Weight forces as well as yawing and nodding moments from the rotor are completely transmitted to the main frame. Four-point suspension is mainly used in large multi-megawatt turbines.<\/p>\n<p>The main advantage of this arrangement is that neither weight forces nor yawing and nodding moments from the rotor are transferred to the gearbox. Furthermore, gearbox replacement is comparatively simple.<\/p>\n<p>The main disadvantage of this design is its overdetermination, which leads to constraint forces in the gearbox.<\/p>\n<p>ESM has developed various <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; text-decoration: underline;\"><a style=\"color: #000000; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.esm-gmbh.de\/en\/products\/gearbox-supports\/#Torque-arm-supports\">torque supports<\/a><\/span><\/span> to reduce constraint forces.

As the name implies, the rotor forms a compact unit with the gearbox. There are no free shafts, bearings or couplings.<\/p>\n<p>This unit is elastically connected to the main frame to isolate structure-borne noise. The decoupling component must be able to transmit all the forces and moments occurring to the main frame. ESM offers various mounting systems for this purpose. Depending on the output and thus the size of the gearbox, they are fitted beneath or around it.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, ESM offers a wide range of products precisely adapted to this type of drivetrain.

Therefore, there is no gearbox between the rotor and the generator. Instead, multi-pole synchronous generators are directly connected to the rotor hub, meaning the drivetrain can be kept very short.<\/p>\n<p>To disconnect the hub from the rotor and the generator, ESM has developed an elastomeric hydraulic coupling. This allows high torque to be transmitted while compensating for the radial offset of the hub and the rotor-generator unit.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; text-decoration: underline;\">couplings<\/span><\/span>, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; text-decoration: underline;\">cover mounts<\/span><\/span> and <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; text-decoration: underline;\"><a style=\"color: #000000; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.esm-gmbh.de\/en\/products\/decoupling-elements\/\">decoupling components are used for pitch control<\/a><\/span><\/span>.
