What does Twiflex manufacture for the offshore energy industry?

Founded in 1946, Twiflex offers the largest range of pneumatically- hydraulically-, and mechanically applied industrial disc brake calipers in the world. In other words … we LOVE caliper brakes!

As the world continues to “go green,” Twiflex is continually recognized by offshore energy OEMs as a high-quality manufacturer of rotor and yaw caliper brakes used in small- to medium-sized wind turbines (typically 20-200 kW).

Our braking technologies are designed to meet customer demands for compact size and low weight, minimal maintenance, ease of installation, and competitive cost. Plus, the Twiflex team provides complete technical and engineering support for all wind applications to ensure proper brake selection and system configuration.

What’s the buzz about the Twiflex Turning, Locking, Braking (TLB) system?

Our innovative system comprises a Turning gear, Locking device, and shaft Brake (TLB) together with a power unit (e.g. Hydraulic Powerpack) and a control panel for local operation of the system close to the equipment.

Our TLB is available as a continuous turning option, or as an indexing system using a simple hydraulic ‘push-pull’ arrangement with the brakes and brake disc to inch the propeller shaft for maintenance and accurate alignment.

Key features of our ‘TLB’ System include:

  • Individual or multiple functions fully integrated to suit your ‘Turning, Locking or Braking’ requirements
  • Full range of pneumatic or hydraulic brake calipers to suit a wide range of braking specifications
  • Optional controls package to fulfill actuation and customer specific automation requirements

When purchasing a complete turning gear system integrated with locking and braking, customers consolidate 3 separate interfaces into one multi-functional solution – saving dimensional space, decreasing installation and maintenance time, and reducing costs!
