Ferotec Friction has been a leading manufacturer in marketing and selling the D3731 formulation for use in wind turbine yaw brake applications for over 12 years. We have shipped hundreds of thousands of D3731 yaw brake pads for applications in Europe, China and India. The D3731 product is well known for it’s quiet operation in all makes and models of wind turbines offering superior durability while at the same time being gentle on the rotor, saving substantial change out expenses in replacing a severely scored unit.

In addition to metal backed brake pads, Ferotec also offers a composite backed pad which offers lower cost, less potential for noise generation and much lighter weight for transportation savings. In addition, if an organic friction pad wore out, the steel backing plate will seriously score the rotor wherein the composite backing will not harm the rotor. Lastly, friction pad shear concerns are eliminated since the composite is integrally molded to the friction pad to become a single piece unit.

If a particular yaw brake pad application requires a somewhat higher friction coefficient, our newest D3751 product should fill the need. It offers an approximate 15% increase in friction coefficient. The D3751 friction material can be offered in both a metal backed unit or with a composite backing.

Ferotec Friction is proud of our wind turbine pad chemistry. We know we offer the most economical, highest quality brake pad in the industry.
