Action Bearing Helps Harness the Wind with Dedicated Wind Power Division

August 22, 2011 //  by admin

Rick Piracini
Action Bearing, providers of bearings and related products to OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers) and MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Operations) markets throughout New England, has announced a dedicated Wind Power Generation Division to accommodate the unique bearing requirements of the wind turbine market.

Rick Piracini, Marketing Specialist and industry expert at Action Bearing, will oversee the Wind Power Generation division, assisting clients in determining which bearing technologies would be most suitable by taking into consideration the specifications, recommendations, maintenance strategies, fatigue life and wear resistance of all of the various types of bearings needed for wind turbines.

Wind turbines often stand 250 feet in the air and are mechanical and technical marvels that rely on bearings, which are the key components of the gearbox, generator and blade.

Action Bearing provides the necessary roller bearings, deep groove ball bearings and four point contact bearings for gearboxes.

The generator in the nacelle of a wind turbine is subjected to significantly greater vibration loads, so bearing size, design and lubrication all play a critical role. The bearing arrangement of a generator generally contains a combination of deep groove ball bearings or cylindrical roller bearings, all of which are available through Action Bearing. Due to the risk of serious damage such as melt craters and false brinelling, Action Bearing advises using current insulated bearings in many applications.

It is critical that the turbines be aligned optimally to the wind. This is controlled by blade bearings (pitch bearings), Yaw bearing and blade adjustment which requires sealed spherical bushings that have corrosion protection which are all available through Action Bearing.

Action’s 24/7 service and vast inventory are critical to the operations of wind power clients. For more information or to speak with Rick Piracini of Action Bearing, call 1-866-995-8765 or email rickp@Actionbearing.com.
