The "Yawing" Mechanism

The Yawing Mechanism of wind turbines uses the wind direction information supplied by the controller to adjust the orientation of the wind turbine rotor towards the wind.

Yaw Bearing - The yaw bearing provides a smooth rotatable connection between the tower and the nacelle of the wind turbine under all weather conditions.

Yaw Drive – The yaw drive rotate the turbines nacelle 360 degrees to ensure the rotor is always facing into the wind as its direction changes over time.

Yaw Brake – The yaw brake is a braking mechanism that is applied to protect the turbine from damage which could be caused by frequent changes in wind direction.
