A smooth operation – The importance of lubrication in turbine bearings
Wind turbines are among the most reliable of power-generating technologies. When they do break down, however, it is often due to poor lubrication of the gearbox bearings. Proper lubrication can keep a turbine operating reliably and efficiently. Finding the right oil – and system with which to apply it – is vital.
HRS split seals from SKF – How to install HRS split seals in wind turbines
HRS seals from SKF are specially designed to cope with the harsh conditions that wind turbine main shafts face. They can help reduce the risks of lubrication or contaminant-related bearings failures and their consequences, such as production downtime and repair costs. This step-by-step guide shows you how to install them.
