The wind power industry is facing enormous pressure to improve the design, performance, and reliability of wind turbines while reducing maintenance costs and saving costs per megawatt hour. Wind turbine operators must ensure that their equipment operates for as long as possible. Due to frequent operation in harsh conditions, such as at sea, in cold or remote areas, the performance and reliability of wind turbines are challenged. At the same time, they also face high maintenance costs, long delivery times for component replacement, and other issues, which will affect their competitive advantage in power generation. Therefore, it is crucial to adopt reliable components and intelligent processes.

Main shaft

The main bearing support is crucial in wind turbines, as it is the place that bears all wind loads. Rolling bearings withstand high dynamic loads and extreme operating conditions.

Gearbox

The increasing megawatt class requires higher and larger capacity gearboxes. The operating conditions of rolling bearings in wind turbine gearboxes cannot be compared to those in industrial gearboxes.

Generator
The generator in a wind turbine needs to withstand high vibration loads. This additional permanent load has a negative impact on the cage and puts pressure on the lubricant.

Wind tracking and blade adjustment

Wind turbines must be optimally aligned with wind direction to prevent extreme loads while achieving economical and efficient operation. Due to the active system's azimuth transmission and gearbox, wind turbines can automatically adjust.

Special bearings for wind turbines require high reliability. This is because the design premise of this type of bearing is to ensure the operation of the windmill for 20 years, and in case of failure, the components are not easy to replace. Therefore, bearing manufacturers require a high degree of computer analysis technology and exquisite skills in materials and heat treatment. Sometimes, they also need to master the testing and evaluation techniques for large bearing objects. The main shaft configuration of wind turbines is a part of gear transmission, semi direct drive or direct drive design. Regardless of the configuration used, it must be able to withstand axial and radial loads and operate under constantly changing harsh conditions. We provide suitable products that can be used for various types of configurations and turbine designs.

Any measure that can reduce maintenance can increase the return on investment while reducing the average cost of energy. We have been working with leading original equipment manufacturers for many years to optimize the performance of wind turbines, improve equipment reliability and power generation. We design and develop bearings, seals, condition monitoring systems, and lubrication systems, which help achieve more cost-effective wind power generation and reduce lubricant consumption.
