Types of bearings using in Wind Turbines Bearings : These bearings can support extremely heavy loads at slow speeds. They allow the transmission of both axial and radial forces, as well as accommodating tilting moments. Generally types bearing used in wind turbines are 1.Slew ring bearing for Using for Blade pitching and yawing purpose 2. Ball bearing for Generator DE & NDE side 3. Spherical roller bearing for Main bearing 4. Cylinder roller and tappered roller bearing for Gearbox internal shafts. 1. Slewing ring bearings are generally used in the pitch and yaw locations of a wind turbine, to enable the blades to rotate smoothly. These bearings can support extremely heavy loads at slow speeds. They allow the transmission of both axial and radial forces, as well as accommodating tilting moments. 2. Ball bearings are used in machines which have lot of movement in their working process. Ball bearings reduce the friction during motion,so that effic...
