Slewing bearings and slewing drives for wind turbines.
Wind turbines place high demands on bearing, gearing, and drive technology. ATH Technik supplies geared slewing rings, customer-specific special designs, and robust slewing drives for turning, adjustment, and positioning tasks in the wind energy and technical systems sectors.
Robust rotary movements under high loads.
Slewing bearings are used in wind turbines and adjacent power generation systems when large assemblies must be reliably supported and high tilting moments must be absorbed. Particularly important are robust raceways, matching gear teeth, sufficient load-bearing capacity, and a clean design tailored to the respective load cases.
Slewing bearings can be designed with internal or external teeth to match the construction. This allows large assemblies to be reliably supported and simultaneously driven in a targeted manner. If the available installation space is limited or a compact adjustment unit is required, slewing drives can be a suitable solution.
Geared slewing bearing for a wind turbine
In wind turbines, large rotating or adjustable assemblies must be safely supported. Geared slewing bearings enable the combination of load support, bearing, and drive via pinions or other drive components.
Crucial factors are load data, tipping moment, torque, diameter, hole pattern, and the desired toothing. ATH Technik can assist with replacement requirements, special designs, or new constructions based on drawings, samples, or technical data.
Designed for big moments and harsh operating conditions.
Wind turbines are exposed to constantly changing loads, vibrations, moisture, and outdoor conditions. Therefore, slewing bearings and slewing drives must be selected to match the load, the gearing, and the installation situation.
- High overturning moments
- Interlocked designs
- Sturdy outdoor application
- Custom design available
What data helps with the request?
For a technical assessment, we need information on the slewing bearing, the installation space, the gear teeth, the load, and the existing design. In the case of spare parts, photos, drawings, or existing component dimensions are also helpful.
- Outer diameter / Inner diameter
- Hole pattern / Overall height
- internal or external gearing
- Load data / Breakdown torque
