Innovation

High Densityx– a milestone in gearbox evolution

With the High Densityxconcept, Winergy achieved a new level of power density, reliability and efficiency at the time in 2017. This gearbox generation set market standards by increasing torque density by more than 25 percent while building on our proven gearbox design. It marked an important step in our continuous technology roadmap.

Gearbox specifications
Power class up to 10 MW
Application offshore & onshore wind turbines
Total weight about 37 t
Transmission i = 35 … 80
Speed ratio ~150
Rated Torque about 6,000 kNm

Higher Power Density Through Lightweight Design and Planetary Stages

The increase in power density was enabled by significant weight reduction and the use of multiple planets in three planetary stages for balanced ratio distribution. High Densityx covered the full portfolio from low-wind turbines to large offshore machines and helped optimize space and weight requirements in earlier turbine generations.


Key benefits of the High Densityx concept included:

  • Multiple planets in planetary stages for balanced ratio distribution
  • Increased gear load capacity
  • Topology optimized structures
  • More than 25 percent increase in torque density
