Wind power
Offshore, humidity and salt spray constantly attack wind turbine installations, while the wind itself generates continuous vibrations. Hutchinson brings to these environments expertise developed for some of the most corrosive marine conditions.

Precision Sealing
Nacelle components on an offshore wind turbine can be difficult to access in the event of a failure, making protection against corrosion all the more critical. Our seals withstand humidity and salt spray, helping minimise this risk.
Acoustics & Vibration
A wind turbine rotor generates continuous dynamic loads that the nacelle structure must absorb without compromising its integrity. Our anti-vibration mounts, treated to withstand salt spray, protect these sensitive components.
Sensors / Detection & Measurement / Encoders
Measuring rotor speed at sea requires components that can withstand humidity and marine salt spray — two conditions that few sensors can endure over the long term. Ours continue to operate reliably in offshore installations.
Protection, Safety & Structure
Nacelle components are installed at considerable heights, where even the smallest inaccuracy can have serious consequences. Our levelling systems ensure reliable alignment from the moment of installation.
Power Transmission
Nacelle and blade positioning relies on mechanisms that operate continuously, without interruption. Our transmission systems equip these mechanisms with the reliability required for continuous operation.
