Wind power generation

Reducing the average power cost is still the main challenge facing the wind power industry. Schaeffler's highly reliable and cost-effective bearing pedestal plays an important role in achieving this goal. The rotor shaft bearing support is very important in wind turbines, which is the role of all forces caused by wind. The rolling bearings are subject to high dynamic loads and operating conditions, Schaeffler cooperates with customers to provide effective bearing support for each case. Increasing MW rating requires larger and higher capacity gearbox. The operating conditions of rolling bearings in wind turbine gearbox cannot be compared with industrial gearbox. The generator in the wind turbine bears the influence of high vibration load. This additional load will have a negative impact on the cage and strain on the lubricant. Our experts work closely with wind turbine developers, manufacturers and operators. Advanced calculation and simulation programs ensure optimal design of bearings for wind energy applications. From a single rolling bearing and its components, adjacent structures to the whole power transmission system, the whole system has been considered. The system uses the internally developed multi-body simulation program for display and optimization. With the high quality standards of our products and processes, we ensure the good quality and reliability within * *, and provide the wind power industry with the quality standards we have successfully established in the automotive and aerospace industries. We work closely with customers and suppliers throughout the process chain to ensure that our high standards are met.
