Suzlon Energy is now fitting James Walker RotaBolts on all its 1.25 megawatt and 2.1 megawatt wind turbines. The tension monitoring fasteners have now become standard fit on the wind turbine blade connections.
Highly accurate tension at installation and throughout the life of the bolted joint is essential on the turbinesand Germanischer Lloyd certification requires that the turbine blade connections are checked annually. With tension control being the critical factor in the reliability and safety of bolted jointsRotaBolt’s ability to deliver tension control at installation and throughout the life of the bolted jointmade it a natural choice.
Suzlon has a subsidiary in Germany for technology developmenta research and development facility in the Netherlands for rotor blade designmoulding and toolingas well as wind turbine and rotor blade manufacturing facilities in India. Subsidiary AE-Rotor in the Netherlands was responsible for the application of RotaBolt systems on the turbine blades.
