Perfect in detail: Unique design that prevents swinging on the tower.
Wind turbines play a vital role in environmentally friendly energy generation. However, during transport and installation, strong winds can cause significant vibrations that jeopardize the stability of towers and foundations. Scruton Spirals minimize these risks through their advanced design, specifically engineered to reduce wind-induced effects on tower structures.
Our Scruton Spiral features a robust substructure spirally wrapped around the tower, which can be installed during tower production. This substructure creates a high coefficient of friction between the tower segment surfaces and the spiral, ensuring secure fixation. With a friction coefficient of up to 3.0, the Scruton Spiral is an indispensable tool for maintaining tower stability during transport and assembly.
The clamping body within the substructure is coated with PTFE, achieving a low friction coefficient of 0.08 to 0.15. This allows the straps to be stretched into a spiral shape, ensuring a firm grip on the steel tube tower.
Using Scruton Spirals, you not only ensure the stability of your wind turbine towers but also enhance efficiency and safety during installation. Trust our technology to successfully and reliably execute your wind energy projects.
