There are three important factors forproper bearing installation. First, you should use an arbor press to press-fitthe bearings. This is the most efficient installation method and will preservethe ...

The test bench is bound for LORC’s new main bearing test facility in 2025 Completed: the 3,700 metric ton foundation for the new test bench for main bearing for wind turbines up to 25MW Peter Winther ...

The Fraunhofer Institute for Wind Energy Systems IWES has completed a successful series of accelerated tests on rotor blade bearings at the bearing test bench in Hamburg. Within the scope of research ...

As Rolls-Royce prepares to begin initial ground runs of the UltraFan engine demonstrator in early 2022, the company has begun further evaluations of the bearings at the heart of the powerplant’s ...

As composite materials are used more extensively in structural applications, some test methods that once were considered very specialized and, therefore, not widely used, have become more significant.

All the forces from the wind act directly on the rotor bearing in a wind turbine, which means the rolling bearings are subjected to high dynamic loads and harsh operating conditions. A range of ...
