The wind power industry is under tremendous pressure to reduce maintenance costs and save costs per megawatt hour by improving the design, performance and reliability of wind turbines. Wind turbine operators must ensure that their equipment remains in operation for as long as possible. The performance and reliability of wind turbines are challenged because they often operate in harsh conditions, at sea, in cold or remote areas. At the same time, it is also faced with the problems of high maintenance cost and long delivery time of replacement parts, which will have an impact on the competitive advantage of power generation, so it is very important to adopt reliable components and intelligent processes.
Special bearings for wind turbines are required to have high reliability. This is because the design premise of this kind of bearing is to ensure the operation of the windmill 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 and superb skills in materials and heat treatment, and sometimes need to master the test and evaluation technology for large bearings. The spindle configuration of wind turbine is part of gear transmission, semi-direct drive or direct drive design. No matter what configuration is adopted, it must be able to withstand axial and radial loads and operate under ever-changing harsh conditions. We offer suitable products for all types of configurations and turbine designs.
Any measure that reduces maintenance can improve the return on investment while reducing the average cost of energy, and we have worked with leading original equipment manufacturers for many years to optimize wind turbine performance, improve equipment reliability and power generation, we design and develop bearings, seals, condition monitoring systems and lubrication systems that help achieve more cost-effective wind power generation and reduce lubricant consumption.
