KEBA Pitch motor Sizing and dimensioning

We offer more than just a motor and pitch drive with

corresponding software. Based on real load profiles and

simulation-driven analyses, we select the most suitable

motor from our extensive product portfolio for the

customer‘s application and customize it. Each motor

type is comprehensively tested on our auto-mated test

benches – ensuring maximum operational safety, load

resilience, and system efficiency.

4 steps of KEBAs motor dimensioning process

• Load Data Analysis

• Drive Train

• Pitch motors

• Design Verification & Qualification

Professional motor dimensioning for pitch systems

We provide complete dimensioning of pitch motors – from

selecting the optimal motor to qualification on our test benches.

Based on real load data or simulations, we deliver tailored

configurations for motor and pitch drive. We rely on proven

industrial motors, which we optimize through specific adaptations

for optimal performance in wind turbines. Our automated testing

programs ensure every motor delivers high performance, reliability,

and readiness for peak loads. With our system engineering approach,

we cover the entire chain – for maximum safety and efficiency in your

pitch system.

Load data evaluation

• Professional load profiling

Based on operational or simulated data

(e.g. Hawk), including torque-speed graphs and reference cycles.

• Scenario-based interpretation

Covering diverse operational conditions.

Full drivetrain design

• Motor & drive selection

Tailored choice based on thermal loads, peak current and torque reserves.

• Thermal continuous load analysis

Ensures overload protection and long-term durability.

• Peak current handling

Critical for short-term load surges and dynamic conditions.

• Torque reserve calculation

Buffer for sudden load changes and safety-critical scenarios.

Selection & customization of pitch motors

• Industrial motor platform

Cost-effective and field-tested.

• Wind-turbine-specific enhancements

Custom shafts, seals, and thermal protection for harsh environments.

Verification & qualification

• Automated test sequences

Reliable performance validation using dedicated test benches.

• Compliance documentation

Traceable results for functional and safety certification.
