Yaw Slide Bearing Case Study<\/h4>\n

Our experts helped improve their material knowledge and establish an in-depth testing process. The resulting solutions improved the interaction of all mating parts within the turbine, not just the initial bearing.<\/p>\n

We identified the thermoplastic materials required to develop more reliable Yaw Slide Bearing parts that that reduced maintenance effort and time to market and resulted in increased cost savings.<\/p>\n

Reducing recalls through reliable materials<\/h4>\n

Wind turbines are traditionally designed and built using mainly metal, with less than 10% made up of plastic. While several wind turbine manufacturers have been researching plastics suitable for use in Yaw Slide Bearings, none seemed fit for purpose. In some cases, the plastic parts worked well at first, but over time began to underperform and fail, resulting in delays or worse, recalls and exchanges on the production equipment. This led to high financial costs and loss of brand image for the wind turbine manufacturer. Working with our customer\u2019s engineering teams, we identified missing test data and a lack of practical testing environments.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Accurate material performance data through applied testing<\/h4>\n

We collaborated to understand the applications and environments in which the material would be used. Drawing from our extensive knowledge of plastics, we undertook 3.5 years of study and 2 years of testing to fully understand the requirements and limitations of the material when in-situ. This comprehensive study was essential to fully understand the requirements of the chosen materials, avoiding future recalls of wind turbines.<\/p>\n

This proactive approach enabled us to completely adapt our offering of materials for wind turbine construction. We were able to fully meet their needs in a way that was unprecedented in the Renewable Energy market.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Our combined knowledge proved to be invaluable. Our in-depth testing process meant we had a comprehensive understanding of the requirements, providing a solution based on the interaction of all mating parts within the turbine. Ultimately, we were able to provide a solution to a whole problem rather than just addressing one area within it.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

Faster to market with reduced costs<\/h4>\n

Developing pre-qualified materials meant shorter testing regimes while ensuring part durability, reducing customer\u2019s overall time to market.
\nEliminating unnecessary replacements of faulty parts, resulting in further cost savings.
\nAs some solutions run without grease, significantly reducing wear and noise, further savings can be made with longer service intervals.<\/p>\n
