productSchaeffler has introduced a new Wind Power Standard (WPOS) for its bearings for wind power applications.
productSchaeffler (UK) has supplied five FAG WiPro s condition monitoring systems to wind farm developer and operator Fred.Olsen Renewables (FOR) at the Crystal Rig wind farm in Scotland. A further 20 such systems will be installed at a later date.
productSchaeffler UKs technical training courses for 2013 include one-, twoand three-day training for managers, engineers and technicians involved in the selection, operation and maintenance of rolling bearings, as well as condition monitoring, vibration analysis and mounting of rolling bearings.
articleThe key to effective Condition Monitoring (CM) is to understand CM itself before looking at the individual monitoring techniques. Equipment not being fitted correctly or machines not being used for their original purpose are examples of problems that can lead to false readings and a poor understanding of what is happening inside a plant. Ian Pledger, field service engineer at Schaeffler (UK), explains
productSchaeffler has won a 2012 Excellent
Quality Award from Xinjiang
Goldwind Science & Technology, an
internationally recognised
manufacturer of wind turbines
headquartered in China. The Award
was presented to Schaeffler during
Goldwind’s 4th Annual Supplier
Conference on 1st February 2013.
productThe correct alignment of coupled
and uncoupled shafts is critical says
Schaeffler to achieve high efficiency
and reliability of rotating equipment,
yet about 20% of rotating equipment
is incorrectly aligned. A handheld
laser optical alignment device from
the company is said to enable faster,
easier alignment of shafts in a wide
range of equipment.
productFluke has introduced a K-Type
temperature module as part of
its new CNX 3000 system of
wireless troubleshooting tools.
productBy working closely with the steel industry, bearings and condition monitoring specialist Schaeffler has co-developed a new, high strength quenched and tempered steel specifically for wind turbine slewing rings that are subjected to extreme loads during blade and tower adjustment.
