Silent yaw pads and brake pads

WindX UCP-GNE silent yaw pads and brake pads

Yaw brake noise and vibration are among the most common recurring faults we see on ageing fleets, and the usual fix is a temporary one. We supply and fit WindX UCP-GNE composite yaw pads and brake pads that hold a stable friction coefficient over their service life, protect the friction disc and remove the vibration at its source.
