Tougher bearings for tougher conditions – SKF DuraPro for wind turbine main shafts
Out in the North Sea, a wind turbine keeps turning, no matter the wind, rain, or crashing waves. But inside, where no one sees, many components keep it running, and few are as critical as the main shaft bearing. If it wears down prematurely, performance declines, maintenance costs rise, and in the worst cases, unplanned downtime follows.
Repair. Remanufacture. Repeat. – Get more life out of your wind turbine
Wind turbines are spinning, clean energy is winning, and the industry is racing full speed ahead. But as the momentum builds, bearings wear out, shafts take a beating, and downtime costs money. Fortunately, with the right approach, many worn components can be restored instead of replaced.
Strengthening the spin – SKF course in bearing solutions for wind turbines
SKF has recently concluded its highly anticipated three-day training on wind turbine bearing technologies in Schweinfurt, Germany. The event brought together a select group of 15 professionals from diverse engineering fields for an in-depth exploration of SKF’s wind turbine bearing solutions.
A perfect fit – How bearings and seals are impacting wind energy generation
Manufacturers in the wind energy industry are under constant pressure to maximize power density by producing smaller, yet more reliable main shaft components without increasing costs. Learn what SKF does to make the grade.
