The wind turbine spinner – or nose cone – is mounted on the steel rotor hub that connects the drive train and the blades giving shelter from weather conditions.

The spinner is less complex to design and manufacture as compared to the nacelle due to the smaller size of the individual parts. However, as with the nacelles, the design of spinners varies across the different turbine types, and much the same specifications and requirements apply.
