Product catalog summary
Overview
The WBA4-90 is an active hydraulic disc brake specifically designed for wind turbine yaw and rotor braking applications. It is engineered to deliver high braking and holding torques over extended operational periods, ensuring reliable performance in extreme environmental conditions.

Construction and Design
The brake is constructed from ductile cast iron and consists of two symmetrical halves, each containing two 90mm diameter pistons. It features a proprietary piston seal and protection boot design, which facilitates long-term operation and simplifies maintenance.

Key Features
  • Hydraulically applied brake with Carlisle NoiseFree organic linings.
  • Large brake lining area to reduce wear and operating temperatures.
  • Grooved and tapered linings for enhanced performance and longevity.
  • Hydraulic drain ports to prevent oil contamination.
  • Small air gap for minimal brake reaction time.
  • Few moving parts for increased lifetime and easy maintenance.
  • Suitable for both horizontal and vertical installations.
  • Operational temperature range from -40°C to 70°C.

Customer Options
  • Lining retraction springs for dynamic applications.
  • Sintered linings for high energy applications.
  • Thrust plates for faster lining replacement.
  • Concave and convex linings available.
  • Extreme cold climate version (-50°C).
  • Offshore version available.
  • Fully customized caliper designs.

Specifications
  • Brake type: Active hydraulic, split caliper.
  • Piston quantity & diameter: 4 x 90 mm.
  • Max operating pressure: 172 bar.
  • Max clamp force: 213.5 kN.
  • Max tangential brake force: 170 kN (based on µ= 0.4).
  • Oil volume per 1mm stroke: 25 cm3.
  • Pressure connection ports: 4 ports, ¼” B.S.P.
  • Drain connection ports: 2 ports, ¼” B.S.P.
  • Lining type: Organic (sintered as option).
  • Brake lining width: 108 mm.
  • Max allowable lining wear per side: 10 mm.
  • Lining surface area per caliper half: 225 cm2.
  • Disc thickness: 30 mm standard (20-70 mm upon request).
  • Min disc diameter: 1000 mm.
  • Weight (caliper and linings): 55 kg.
