Wind power

Specialized bearings for wind turbines require high reliability. This is because the design premise of such bearings is to ensure that the windmill runs for 20 years, and, in the event of failure, the parts are not easy to replace. Therefore, bearing manufacturers require a high degree of computer analysis technology as well as excellent skills in materials and heat treatment, and in some cases, test and evaluation techniques for large bearing objects. The main shaft configuration of a wind turbine, which is part of a geared, semi-direct-drive or direct-drive design, must be able to withstand both axial and radial loads and operate under changing and severe conditions, regardless of the configuration used. We offer suitable products for all types of configurations and turbine designs.

Anything that can be done to reduce maintenance improves return on investment and reduces the average cost of energy. We have worked with leading OEMs for many years to optimize the performance of wind turbines, improve reliability and increase power generation, and we design and develop bearings, seals, condition monitoring systems and lubrication systems that help to achieve more cost-effective wind power generation and lower lubricant consumption.
