Wind turbine shaft system

Tribodynamic behavior of a novel double bearing layout for the

However, the dynamic performance data for these innovative bearings in dual-sliding-bearing main shaft system are currently lacking. A novel 5-DOF tribo-dynamics model

Main shaft | SKF

A wind turbine''s main shaft arrangement is part of a geared, hybrid, or direct drive design. Whatever the arrangement, it must withstand axial and

Functionality of Bearings in the Shafts of a Vertical-Axis Wind Turbine

The shaft-bearing system of a vertical-axis wind turbine, especially in prosumer applications, should be quiet during operation and have the lowest possible resistance to

Optimal Design of Shafting System for Wind Turbine in Multi-cases

The several cases for the wind turbine to work in the typical wind fields are mentioned, and the corresponding load spectrum of the shafting of the wind turbine and the

Multibody Dynamic Analysis of a Wind Turbine Drivetrain in

In this paper, a mathematical model of the drivetrain is proposed, which is a three-dimensional dynamic model that includes flexible bearings, a gear mesh model, shaft flexibility,

Modal analysis and influence law of a wind turbine main shaft

Abstract: A finite element model was established and modal analysis was performed on a wind turbine main shaft. By adjusting the length of the expansion sleeve, the effect of the length of

Main shaft | SKF

A wind turbine''s main shaft arrangement is part of a geared, hybrid, or direct drive design. Whatever the arrangement, it must withstand axial and radial loads and operate under harsh,

A Study on the Design of High-Speed Shaft Coupling for a

The findings of this study are expected to enhance the reliability of high-speed shaft couplings for 6MW wind turbines and contribute to securing the long-term operational safety of the equipment.

Main Shaft in Wind Turbines Explained

The main shaft serves as the primary mechanical link between the wind turbine''s rotor and its power generation system. When wind causes the blades to rotate, the main shaft

Multibody Dynamic Analysis of a Wind Turbine

In this paper, a mathematical model of the drivetrain is proposed, which is a three-dimensional dynamic model that includes

How a Wind Turbine Works

Wind turbines work on a simple principle: instead of using electricity to make wind—like a fan— wind turbines use wind to make electricity. Wind turns the propeller-like blades of a turbine

Improving Bearing Life

The optimized preloaded system helps ensure excellent system stability in even the heaviest of wind conditions. The specially designed internal geometry controls roller-to-roller stress

Functionality of Bearings in the Shafts of a Vertical

The shaft-bearing system of a vertical-axis wind turbine, especially in prosumer applications, should be quiet during operation and
