Energy
Overview
The Energy industry is an ever-expanding market, increasingly incorporating new green technologies. Thanks to our close cooperation with many major original equipment manufacturers in this sector, Megadyne can offer technical and reliable power transmission solutions. Maintenance-free, long service life and reliability are ensured, for drilling rigs, pumps, and wind and tidal turbines.
Wind power, specifically, refers to the process in which wind is harnessed for the generation of mechanical power or electricity. For instance, wind turbines — either horizontal or vertical axis, on land or offshore — convert the wind’s kinetic energy into mechanical power, which can then be used for processes such as grinding grain or pumping water. Alternatively, this mechanical power generated can also be converted into electricity. Synchronous timing belts provide ideal solutions for wind turbines, offering high-load carrying capacity and maintenance-free, long-lasting performance.

Hydraulic Turbine
Hydraulic turbines are propeller-like components of a system used to convert the energy of a flowing liquid (normally water) into mechanical energy. They are commonly used in the production of electricity, in conjunction with an electric generator. As the flowing water contacts the turbine’s circular row of blades fitted to the generator shaft, it causes the shaft to rotate producing electrical power.
Hydroelectric and coal-fired power plants similarly produce electricity. In both cases, a power source is used to turn a turbine, which then turns the electric generator.
A customer contacted Megadyne requesting drive design assistance for a new hydraulic turbine application requiring a long-lasting, reliable, compact and smooth-running drive system.
