Yaw drive refers to a type of mechanical system used to control the rotation of a device around its vertical axis, commonly in applications such as wind turbines, ships, and aircraft. The yaw drive allows for the adjustment of the orientation of these structures to optimize performance, stability, or directional control. In wind turbines, for example, the yaw drive is crucial for ensuring that the turbine’s rotor blades face directly into the wind. This maximizes the efficiency of energy generation.
