Wind power

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.

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.
