Gearbox bearings and generator bearings for wind turbine

There are many types of gearbox bearings, including deep groove ball bearings, cylindrical roller bearings, full complement cylindrical roller bearings, double row tapered roller bearings, spherical roller bearings, spherical roller thrust bearings and four point contact ball bearings. The bearings in the gear box are mainly lubricated by the gear oil in the gear box. There are many metal particles in the lubricating oil, which will significantly affect the bearing life. Therefore, a special heat treatment process is required to make the raceway surface have compressive stress and reduce the sensitivity of the raceway to particulate impurities and improve bearing life. At the same time, it is also necessary to optimize the gearbox bearing structure according to the working conditions of the bearing, improve the bearing processing technology, and further improve the gearbox bearing performance index. 

  • RELATED INDUSTRIES

Generator bearings use cylindrical roller bearings and deep groove ball bearings, angular contact bearings. It is necessary to reduce the noise of generator bearing vibration through the structural design of bearings, the improvement of processing methods, the control of cleanliness in the production process and the optimization of related components, so that the bearings have good low-noise performance.

Working conditions of generator bearings: high speed (1000-1500rpm), high temperature (90-120℃) heavy load.

Grease requirements of generator bearings: excellent shear stability, good oxidation stability, good wear resistance, excellent low temperature bearing start-up performance.

WIND ENERGY

As a renewable and clean energy source, wind power is rapidly developing all over the world. Large wind turbines are giant machinery. Nowadays, many 2MW wind power plants under construction have wind turbine blades with a length of about 40 meters, a rotating shaft with a height of 60 to 100 meters and total weight of more than 200 tons. Therefore, the bearings used in wind power must also be large, with an inner diameter ranging from 100 mm to 700 mm. Some models require bearings with an inner diameter of nearly 2 meters. Bearings for wind turbines require high reliability, because the bearings are designed to keep the windmill running for 20 years; and when the fault occurs, the parts are not easy to replace (the bearing is used at a long distance from the ground). Bearing manufacturers need to have a high degree of computer analysis technology and exquisite skills in materials and heat treatment, and need to master the test evaluation technology for large bearing.
