New steel and heat treatment raises performance of bearings in wind turbine gearboxes
The SKF high durability gearbox bearing for wind raises the torque density in wind turbine gearboxes by reducing bearing and gear size up to 25% through an improved rating life while at the same time avoiding premature failures through improved robustness.Gothenburg, Sweden 29 Mars, 2022: SKF has developed a new roller bearing for wind turbine gearboxes that offers bearing rating life at the forefront of the industry and enables reduction of downtime and maintenance.
The SKF high durability gearbox bearing for wind relies on a tailored combination of steel and heat treatment process that
