Bearing for wind turbine main shafts

Waukesha Bearings’ NordAlign bearing is specifically engineered for wind turbine main shafts. This technology aims to enhance turbine reliability, reduce maintenance costs, and streamline installation. NordAlign bearings are robust and reliable. The tilt pads adjust dynamically to both radial and axial shaft movements, optimizing load distribution and significantly extending the bearing's lifespan. When maintenance and repairs are needed, NordAlign bearing pads can be exchanged uptower, effectively eliminating the need for expensive jack-up vessels and cranes. Its modular design easily scales to accommodate large wind turbine models, while the optimized pad shape allows for straightforward integration into the nacelle, simplifying installation whether retrofitted to existing equipment or installed in a new application. NordAlign bearings deliver advanced performance across a wide range of operating conditions, including assembly, low-speed idling, and extreme events. Waukesha Bearings utilized its in-house material development and testing expertise to create a TruTech engineered polymer specially formulated to maximize wear resistance and enhance performance, even in harsh operating conditions.
