Composition and Selection of Wind Turbine Slewing Bearing

Wind turbine slewing bearing is one of the important parts of the wind turbine. Wind turbine converts wind energy into mechanical energy by absorbing wind energy and then converts it into electric energy to realize wind power generation. Wind power system mainly includes main rotating system, pitch system, and yaw system. The components of each system basically contain slewing bearings, such as pitch slewing bearing, yaw slewing bearing, and the quality of wind power slewing bearings directly determines whether the wind power system can operate normally.

1. Wind turbine slewing bearing composition

Wind power slewing bearing is a large slewing bearing, which consists of four parts: inner ring, outer ring, rolling element and isolation block. Different from ordinary slewing bearing, wind turbine slewing bearing needs to withstand greater torque, so each component should also be reinforced and processed so that they can meet the needs of the wind power system. After all, the cost of wind power generation is inherently high, and once replaced or repaired, it will cause great losses.

2. The characteristics of wind turbine slewing bearing

Usually, the use environment of wind turbine slewing bearing is bad, so the better structures and components are needed. therefore, the structure and component quality of wind power slewing bearings are good. But there will be damage inevitably. Once the slewing bearing is damaged, the replacement is not only costly but also delays power generation. Wind power generation is a continuous process, that is why wind power generation requires a high-life slewing bearing. Another major feature of wind turbine slewing bearings is high life.

3. The selection of wind turbine slewing bearing

There are many types of slewing bearings, such as double row ball slewing bearings, single row cross roller slewing bearings, three rows roller slewing bearings and ball and roller combined slewing bearings, etc. The selection of wind power slewing bearings is mainly three-row roller slewing bearing and cross roller slewing bearing, these two types slewing bearings have the high bearing capacity and can better meet the needs of wind power fermentation.

4. Wind power slewing bearing manufacturers

Since wind power slewing bearings are so important, we must pay more attention to the selection of wind power slewing bearing manufacturers. We must pay attention not only to the price but also to the manufacturer’s production qualifications. Is there any qualification and experience in producing wind turbine slewing bearings? How about the slewing bearing quality, etc. in order to ensure that the wind turbine slewing bearing can run for a long time.

In general, wind turbine slewing bearing is important components of wind power equipment, such as pitch bearings and yaw bearings. Wind turbine slewing bearing is generally used in harsh environments, so wind turbine slewing bearings are required to have better performance and longer life. The life expectancy is more important to choose a suitable manufacturer to make the wind turbine slewing bearing run for a long time.

How to deal with the abnormal sound of the crane slewing bearing?

The crane belongs to a large hoisting machine. When the crane rotates the U-turn, the key bearing function is the slewing bearing. When the crane rotates, it bears a large steering force and load, and still can provide stable rotation. However, in daily use, sometimes there is abnormal noise or stuttering. What are the reasons for these phenomena? How can we handle it effectively?

1.The reason of the abnormal sound of the crane slewing bearing.

1. Insufficient lubricating oil
Lubricating oil plays an important role in the rotation of the slewing bearing. Because the steering force is too large when the crane rotates, it is necessary to have lubricating oil for timely lubrication. If the lubricating oil is insufficient, it will cause a stuttering when rotating, and it will also make an abnormal sound.

2.Loose bolts
Loose bolts are also a major reason of the abnormal sound of the crane slewing bearing. Bolts are used to fix the components of the slewing bearing. Loose bolts will naturally cause abnormal sounds in the slewing bearing, and even damage the bearing and the machine. It is not simple problem of abnormal noise.

3. Track wear
The slewing bearing has a matching rotating track, and the track appears worn, which naturally causes abnormal sound of the slewing bearing of the crane.

4.The slewing bearing damage
Damage to the slewing bearing is a serious reason of abnormal noise. If the slewing bearing is damaged, it needs to be replaced or repaired in time, otherwise it will delay the construction progress.

5.Non-standard use
Due to overload or irregular use, the slewing motor is damaged or the rotating gearbox is damaged, resulting in abnormal noise in the slewing bearing.

2. The solution of the abnormal sound of the crane slewing bearing

1. Lubricating oil and non-standard use can be avoided in normal use and maintenance. Therefore, one of the first tasks to solve abnormal noise is to pay attention to the usual maintenance. When the lubricating oil is insufficient, add lubricating oil in time. The machine should be operated in accordance with the process specification to avoid delays due to low-level operation errors.

2. For the problem of loose bolts, it is necessary to strengthen the bolts in time. The problem of loose bolts is a relatively simple problem.

3. It is more troublesome to deal with the problem of track wear and damage of the slewing bearing. The principle of handling is to change a new one and not to use damaged bearings to avoid irreparable damage. For the slewing bearing, the slewing bearing can be repaired, or the new slewing bearing should be replaced in time.

In addition to daily maintenance and replacement of the slewing bearing, choose the appropriate model when selecting the slewing bearing, after all, the crane is not a small machine.

Cross roller slewing bearings have low grease consumption due to their high rotation efficiency and low heat dissipation. Moreover, it can achieve negative clearance, has extremely high rotation precision and high rigidity, and is 3-4 times stronger than conventional bearings. The bearing capacity of the crossed roller slewing bearing is also high, and the roller and the raceway are in line contact, withstand higher loads.

3.The installation of the cross roller slewing bearing

For cross roller slewing bearing, firstly, the roller and spacer block must be correctly placed, then install the screws or bolts, and then adjust the no-load slewing resistance torque after the installation. The next step is to correctly place the inner circumference and the outer periphery. Place it on the workbench, place it in the lower half of the inner circumference and try to make the outer raceway correspond to the inner circumference channel. Fill the gap with the spacer block. The number of rollers and spacers is generally equal, and the rollers and spacers should be close to each other. If there is a gap between the rollers and the spacers, the thickness of one or two spacers can be adjusted to compensate for the gaps. The grease gently and evenly on the raceway. The installation process is an important process. Try to ask a professional to install it to avoid problems with the bearings.
