Whether you are a new market entrant developing your first wind turbine, an existing component manufacturer looking to diversify or an existing player looking to improve your design process or overcome your design challenges, then Romax can help.
Through a combination of our highly experienced engineering team and industry leading virtual product development platform and simulation environment RomaxWIND, we are able to offer a full range of design services for wind turbine gearboxes, bearings and drivetrains.
Extensive experience
With design and analysis experience of gearboxes, bearings and drivetrains on wind turbines rated from 750kW to 5MW, we are experts in wind turbine mechanics. Our engineering team is recognised by leading organisations in the industry for their exceptional technical understanding and innovative problem solving approach. We work alongside you to develop products according to your specification.
Design philosophy
Our design is focussed on reliability. Our holistic approach is the key to our success, every component is understood and designed as part of a whole system.
This ensures that the components (gearboxes and bearings) and systems (drivetrain systems) we design have taken into account the effects and influences of all technical elements. The skill of our engineers and our unique design platform are key to successful design.
A ‘whole system’ approach facilitates a vital understanding of each component and it’s interactions that lead to more reliable and robust
design. This requires an advanced understanding of turbine system engineering and accurate simulation technology that can assist our engineers in making the best design choices.
Our highly skilled design teams are able to design to take into account system dynamics, and through the employment of our simulation
technology they can predict system behaviours – fixing reliability design issues before a product is manufactured.
