Wind Turbine Braking Systems & Brake Pads
Kor-Pak is an OEM and aftermarket supplier of braking systems and friction products for wind power. We stock and source rotor brakes, yaw brakes, brake pads, and actuators for the brands found in most nacelles, and we design or reverse engineer replacements when a pad or caliper has gone obsolete. Onshore or offshore, if it slows a turbine, we support it.
Wind Turbine Brake Pads
Pads are the most frequently replaced wear item in a turbine, and getting the friction material right decides how often a technician climbs the tower. Kor-Pak supplies organic, semi-metallic, and sintered pads for rotor and yaw calipers across all major brake brands, with sintered materials recommended where high heat would glaze anything organic. Stocking programs and R&D collaboration are available for fleet operators.
Browse brake pad products:
- Wind turbine brake pads: rotor and yaw pads for all major calipers
- Wind turbine brake pads category: browse pads by brand and model
- Semi-metallic sintered friction materials: high-heat pads with superior heat dissipation
- Gamesa brake pads GP005798 and P370288: direct replacements for Gamesa turbines
Yaw Brakes & Yaw Calipers
Active yaw systems hold the nacelle into the wind, which means the yaw brakes work almost continuously, dragging under partial pressure to damp movement and clamping fully to hold position. That duty cycle eats pads and seals. Kor-Pak supplies complete yaw calipers, rebuild kits, pads, and seals for the yaw systems on modern medium and large turbines.
Browse yaw brake products:
- Yaw brakes: calipers, pads, and seal kits for active yaw systems
- Stromag BCH85A and BCH76A yaw brakes: common OEM-fitted yaw calipers
- Hydraulic caliper disc brakes: high-torque calipers for yaw and rotor duty
Rotor Brakes & Disc Brakes
A rotor brake lives two lives: routine holding during maintenance, and the emergency stop that catches a turbine when the pitch system cannot. Kor-Pak supplies spring-applied, hydraulically released disc brakes sized for both, along with discs, power units, and blade pitch brake components.
Browse rotor and disc brake products:
- Windmill brakes: rotor and mechanical brakes for wind turbines
- Svendborg Brakes: hydraulic disc brakes and intelligent braking systems for wind
- Twiflex brakes: modular caliper disc brakes
- Sibre brakes: disc and drum brakes with wind-duty calipers
OEM & Aftermarket Brands We Support
Turbine OEMs mix brake suppliers freely, so a single wind farm can hold half a dozen caliper brands. Kor-Pak supplies OEM and aftermarket parts across that whole spread, including legacy units the original maker no longer supports.
Browse by brand:
- Pintsch Bubenzer brakes: now Dellner Bubenzer; disc brakes and pad sets
- GKN Stromag brakes: a Regal Rexnord brand; yaw brakes and calipers
- Huawu brakes: pads and calipers for Huawu-equipped turbines
- Dellner brakes: hydraulic disc brakes
- Warner Electric power transmission products: electric brakes, clutches, and controls
Kor-Pak also supports Brembo, FTL, and Sime wind turbine brakes. Contact us with a part number for a cross-reference or quote.
Actuators, Spares & Access Components
Beyond the brakes themselves, we supply the parts around them: linear actuators, thruster and hydraulic power units, access hatch hardware, springs, seals, and rebuild kits.
Browse actuators and spares:
- Brake actuators: linear actuators and power units
- Johnson Industries BAH1070 actuator spare parts: rebuild parts for BAH actuators
Keep Your Turbines Turning
A crew and a crane are the expensive part of any wind repair; the parts should be the easy part. Call 888-256-7725 or send your turbine model and part numbers through our contact form and we will quote pads, calipers, or a complete braking package.
