  • Patent number: 9551326
    Abstract: An apparatus for routing cables in wind turbines has a plurality of bushings (17) for cables distributed on at least one base body (3, 5) that has a preferably round contour. The bushings (17) are provided with a guiding arrangement (27; 38; 39, 41; 43; 48) permitting the cables to move relative to the part of the bushing (17) that surrounds the guiding arrangement.

  • Patent number: 9512824
    Abstract: A mounting system for strand-shaped functional elements (5) such as cables or lines, particularly for wind power plants, has a main body (1) having strand passageways (3) formed by receiving spaces (7) with openings (13) for inserting functional elements (5). The openings are closable by a cover devices (49, 43). The spaces define receiving axes (15) extending from the outer opening (13) to the inner end (17) of the receiving spaces (7). The main body (1) is formed from at least two sector elements (11, 12) each having at least one strand passageway (3) and coupleable to one another at at least one connecting point (21). The receiving axes (15) of successive strand passageways (3) on the main body (1) diverge outwardly.

  • Patent number: 9127789
    Abstract: A fixing system for cables, in particular in wind turbines, includes a main body (1) that can be fixed to a supporting structure and cable holders (11) that have an opening for cables to be inserted. Each opening can be closed by a cover device (45). The cable holders (11) are mounted on the main body (1) and in an arrangement extending at least over a part of a circle with the opening of the cable holders on the outside. The cover device includes retaining elements (45), by which the opening of the respective cable holders (11) can be blocked to secure inserted cables.

  • Publication number: 20150001354
    Abstract: A mounting system for strand-like functional elements (5) such as cables or lines, particularly for wind power plants, comprising a main body (1) having strand passageways (3) formed by receiving spaces (7), which have an opening (13) for inserting functional elements (5) that is closable by a cover device (49, 43), and which define a receiving axis (15) running from the outer opening (13) to the inner end (17) of the respective receiving space (7), is characterized in that the main body (1) is formed from at least two sector elements (11, 12), which each have at least one strand passageway (3) and can be coupled to one another at at least one connecting point (21), and in that the receiving axes (15) of successive strand passageways (3) on the main body (1) diverge outward.

  • Publication number: 20140034789
    Abstract: The invention relates to a fixing system for cables, in particular in wind turbines, comprising a main body (1) that can be fixed to a supporting structure, and comprising cable holders (11) that have an opening for cables to be inserted, which opening can be closed by a cover device (45). The fixing system is characterised in that cable holders (11) in the form of components that can be mounted on the main body (1) are provided and are arranged on the main body (1) in an arrangement extending at least over a part of a ring with the opening of the cable holders on the outside, and in that the cover device comprises retaining elements (45), by means of which the opening of the respective cable holders (11) can be blocked to secure inserted cables.

  • Patent number: 8550411
    Abstract: A clamp for securing components, in particular string-like or linear structural members, like pipelines, hoses, or cables, has at least one clamp part (3). The clamp part outer contour (4) delimits at least partially a receiving space (5) for receiving the component. The one clamp part (3) has a mechanism (6) for minimizing corrosion, in particular, crevice corrosion, at every component that is held. The mechanism has at least one sacrificial element (7) that is visibly consumed with the onset of corrosion and continued duration of use of the clamp fastener. The respective sacrificial element (7) is placed, as an independent component, on the outer contour (4) of the clamp part (3).
