Wind Power
Wind turbine bearings mainly include pitchbearings, mainshaftbearings, yawbearings, gearboxbearings and generatorbearings. The schematic diagram is as follows:As the trend for wind turbine farms increase in size and power generation, the tower height, blade length, and generator size have all increased in size and in load requirements.Silicon nitride ball bearings have the durability and load carrying capacity to bring an efficient solution to meet these demands.The longevity of silicon nitride balls further lends itself to reduce the risk of unscheduled maintenance, which is costly given the height and location of wind towers.
