To remain competitive, wind turbine operators must find ways to optimize equipment performance, increase reliability, and reduce maintenance costs. Waukesha Bearings collaborated with equipment OEMs and leveraged world-class material development and testing capabilities to develop the NordAlign™ fluid film bearing for wind turbine main shafts. This cutting-edge technology improves reliability, cuts costs, and is easy to install. Its innovative design allows for almost seamless uptower exchangeability, eliminating costly expenses. The optimized pad shape easily integrates into the nacelle and provides advanced bearing performance while tilt pads adjust to radial and axial shaft movements to optimize load distribution for longer bearing life.
