Applications Solar & Tidal Stream Systems
Applications Small Wind Turbines
This bearing, available with internal, external or no gear, is used as pitch bearing for a 50 kW small wind turbine. Maximum moment load of this bearing is 144 kNm.
A 3-row roller bearing with special seal and an outer diameter of about 1.5 m supports and turns the rotors of a - up to now unique - tidal stream system. As this way of energy exploitation is continually working - independently from weather conditions the system and consequently the bearing is under load 24/7.
This Slew Drive SP-HE 1400 with AC drive and brakes is in use as yaw bearing at a 100 kW small wind turbine. Maximum torque is 86 kN, maximum moment load 1,600 kNm. One or mutiple drives can be used.
Designed for high accuracy positioning: WD-LB (above) and WD-LC.
