Project name:

Wind Turbine Main Shaft

Fabrication & Assembling

ACB-USA® product: Spherical Roller Bearings, Housings and Main Shaft

Application: Wind Turbine

Customer Type: Wind Industry

Country: USA

At the request of one of our customers, we performed a re-engineering of both the main shaft and the supports.

We used the latest and most innovative specialized softwares tools, which helped us to achieve excellent results.

ABS was not only present in the design of each of the components, but also in the manufacturing stage, the quality control and the assembly process. ABS was crucial to effectively conduct such a complex project.

Project name:

Power Train Re-Engineering

Wind Turbine V47ND

Application: Wind Turbines

Customer Type: Wind Industry

Country: USA

In response to one of our clients, which has been experiencing frequent breakdowns and failures in the power train of the V-47, we took on the task of studying the entire drive train with the aim to determine the causes of these premature breakages.

Finally ABS was able to increase the service factor by modifying and replacing the gearbox components. In addition, ABS added a clutch and a coupling to the system and other mounting accessories.

After nearly three years of monitoring, our approach has allowed the turbines to performed better than ever.
