Next Generation Root Connection - The ADC.Wedge System

ADC.Wedge – Innovative Connection Solution for Rotor Blades

The ADC.Wedge sets a new benchmark in rotor blade construction. Its unique design combines cutting-edge engineering with ease of installation and maximum reliability – both in production and repair applications.

Innovative Technology for Maximum Safety

At the core of the ADC.Wedge is a state-of-the-art steel bushing system, securely bonded to the composite material through a vacuum infusion process. This advanced method ensures consistent and reliable adhesive joints, guaranteeing exceptional connection quality.

Every single unit undergoes individual component testing during production, preventing defective parts from ever being installed in the rotor blade.

Complete Solution for Seamless Integration

The ADC.Wedge is delivered as a fully assembled component, with the steel bushing already integrated into the fiberglass part. This design enables fast, hassle-free installation, significantly reducing assembly time during rotor blade production.

Thanks to its versatility, the ADC.Wedge is ideal for initial rotor blade manufacturing as well as on-site repairs, eliminating the need to remove the rotor blade from the turbine.

High-Performance Materials for Exceptional Strength

Our specially developed resin system delivers unmatched strength and fatigue resistance. This outstanding performance allows for a reduction in the bolt circle diameter of the blade connection, optimizing both weight and structural efficiency.

The result is a durable, high-reliability connection that stands up to the most demanding conditions.

The ADC.Wedge is not only incredibly strong, but also so light that it can also be used in conjunction with our ADC.SWAP to produce a split rotor blade.

Certified Quality

The ADC.Wedge is UL-certified and officially approved for use in rotor blade manufacturing, providing an extra layer of confidence for manufacturers and service teams.
