Pitch Solutions for Reliability and High Performance

As countries and energy companies around the globe turn to ever larger, more powerful wind turbines in hostile on- and offshore locations, OEMs are faced with new and increasingly complex performance challenges.

OEMs must accommodate park locations with lower or unsteady winds, ensure reliability and operator safety in all installations, as well as continue to keep pace with changing design parameters and emerging technologies.

Pitch Systems - Moog pitch systems offer flexibility, the highest reliability and the capability to tailor blade pitch control to your needs. Our innovative technology delivers the maximum efficiency and ensures greater productivity through less maintenance-related downtime. The flexible pitch solutions enhance the energy efficiency of blades in onshore and offshore locations.

Rotor Monitoring Systems - Cost effective remote monitoring of turbines for the early detection of operational and maintenance issues.

Blade Sensing Systems - Dynamically adjust the pitch of each blade in real time to optimize the loading of the rotor.

Slip Ring Solutions - Moog rotating joints for wind power ensure reliable data and power transmission in both electric and hydraulic systems.
