What is a main bearing for a wind Tur-Bine?

This work is distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 License. Abstract. This paper presents a review of existing theory and practice relating to main bearings for wind tur-bines. The main bearing performs the critical role of supporting the turbine rotor, with replacements typically requiring its complete removal.

Why should you choose NTN Bearings for your wind turbine?

Wind turbine technology continues to demand increased efficiency, reliability and longer service life of equipment. Innovative bearing designs from NTN are instrumental in these improvements and in spreading the use of wind technology for electrical power generation.

Can full bearing modelling be used in wind turbine gearbox bearings?

Full bearing modelling has been done to anal-yse fatigue failure in wind turbine gearbox bearings (Grujicic et al., 2016; Jiang et al., 2015; Lai and Stadler, 2016) and in one case for a WTMB under steady-state loads (Liang et al., 2013), and also to understand contact loads within pitch or yaw bearings (Chen and Wen, 2012).

Do large-sized wind turbine generators need larger rolling bearings?

Recently the development of large-sized wind turbine generators having a power capacity of 3 MW or more and a blade diameter of 100 meters or more is advancing, requiring the use of larger rolling bearings. 1. Introduction

What are the operating conditions and loading of wind turbine main bearings?

The operational conditions and loading for wind turbine main bearings deviate significantly from those of more conventional power plants and other bearings present in the wind turbine power train, i.e. those in the gearbox and generator.

What types of bearings are suitable for coating a wind turbine?

Suitable bearing types for the coating include tapered roller bearings, cylindrical roller bearings, spherical roller bearings, and CARB toroidal roller bearings, among others playing vital roles in wind-turbine systems.
