Zusammenfassung: | A system includes a wind turbine having a fixed part and a rotational part and a brake having a brake disk mounted to the rotational part for rotation with the rotational part. At least one brake block is fixed relative to the fixed part and has a friction surface facing the brake disk. The brake block is shiftable between a first position with the friction surface spaced from the brake disk and a second position with the friction surface in contact with and pressed against the brake disk, and the friction surface and/or the brake disk are configured such that pressing the at least one brake block against the brake disk creates a micro-interference fit between the at least one brake block and the brake disk. |
