A Pelton wheel is an impulse-type
water turbine invented by American
inventor Lester Allan Pelton in the
1870s. The Pelton wheel extracts energy
from the impulse of moving water, as
opposed to water's dead weight like
the traditional overshot water wheel. Profiling/Roughing

Pelton wheels are the preferred turbine FFQ4 SOMT 1205RM-HP/T IC830
for hydro-power where the available Square single-sided inserts with
four cutting edges designed
water source has relatively high hydraulic for reducing cutting forces in
head at low flow rates. Pelton wheels long overhang applications.
are made in all sizes. There exist multi-
ton Pelton wheels mounted on vertical
oil pad bearings in hydroelectric plants.
