Test rig has bearing on wind turbine performance
Alternative energy generation is becoming an important part of the power generation mix. Alongside the growing expertise in the construction of generating systems such as wind turbines is the development of ever-greater power generation. Already, turbines in operation have an installed power of up to 5 megawatts (MW). With legislation putting tough targets on CO2 reduction, it is likely that both the amount of installed wind power and the size of individual generating units will grow.

Tests show Trelleborg bearings wear exceptionally well at low velocities
< Trelleborg Sealing Solutions’ Orkot® TXMM bearing material has proven to be one of the best in direct electric motor propulsion systems on ships. The motors operate at low shaft velocities and, subject to boundary lubrication, bearings used must demonstrate exceptional wear resistance.
