Schaeffler is driving the further development of wind turbine efficiency. As a market leader and strategic development partner, Schaeffler is leveraging its “closed loop engineering” approach to offer far more than the mere provision of bearing solutions for onshore and offshore wind turbines. Working in close partnership with turbine and gearbox manufacturers, we support wind turbine development through state-of-the art system simulation, rig testing under realistic conditions, and field measurement campaigns. In this context, Schaeffler is significantly expanding its testing capacities: In cooperation with LORC (Lindø Offshore Renewables Center) and R&D Test Systems, the world’s most powerful test facility for wind turbine main bearings is being built in Lindø, Denmark. The facility should be ready to run its first test programs by the end of 2025. Schaeffler had decisive input into the specifications for the test rig and will use the facility to test its rotor shaft bearing supports in cooperation with wind turbine manufacturers. Schaeffler will be presenting more information about our solutions and services for the wind power sector under the banner “Driving Wind Energy Together. Innovative. Reliable. Cost-effective.” at the WindEnergy Hamburg from 24–27 September. You will find us in Hall B5 at Booth 333.
