Maximizing Wind Turbine Efficiency with E-RAD Torque Wrenches

04/27/2023 10:15 AM

The offshore wind energy industry has seen tremendous growth in recent years, and with that growth comes the need for high-quality tools and equipment. With over 1,500 bolts on a turbine, the tool of choice is the ERAD electric torque wrench, which has proven to be a valuable asset in growing and maintaining the offshore […]

Wind Industry's Number 1 Tool: E-RAD Torque Wrench

06/17/2021 11:26 AM

New World Technologies set the industry standard when the E-RAD electric high-capacity torque wrench debuted in 2005. There was nothing like this tool on the market at that time: a calibrated, accurate, electric torque wrench with a capacity as high as 4,000 feet/pounds. Around the same time, the American wind energy business started to take […]

Safety Tips for the Wind Turbine Industry

02/22/2017 07:30 AM

While wind power is one of the safest ways to generate energy, workers in the wind industry still face hazards on the job. Hazardous weather, heights, and regular on-the-job injuries are all issues that affect wind turbine construction safety. Here are some wind turbine safety practices as suggested by the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) […]

Wind Turbine Maintenance Requires Calibrated Tools

02/10/2017 08:39 AM

Like any piece of machinery, a wind turbine can only do its job with proper maintenance. Vibration and movement put stress on the turbine, which means the bolts holding them together must be recalibrated and retightened frequently. It takes a lot of bolts to keep a wind turbine turning – roughly 1,500 per some estimates […]
