The stress analysis of crankcase

According to the stress analysis of the crankcase, consider the strength, confirm the deformation amount and bearing clearance of crankcase and bearing, calculating deck crane bearing life, and try to optimize the bearing and axle box.

  The maximum deformation of 1.5MW shaft bearings and axle radial fan for 0.07mm. Considering the calculation results of deformation and bearing clearance  and the crankcase as steel body life difference within 5%, this value in practice is not a problem. The life of difference, life is shortened, then, must change the axle box design, improve the rigidity.

Mainstream of bearing types

For bearing types,self-aligning roller bearing and tapered roller bearing is the mainstream, but most of the use of self-aligning roller bearings in the non linear favorable. Non linear spindle generally need to consider the plus or minus 0.5 degrees.
As B type automatic self-aligning roller bearing  is designed by the use of the middle block side guide roller , it is no skew of the maximum load wide in the minimum load to load region , which can run in a stable torque and low fever cases.
In addition,vibration of blade and gear box vibration increasing of the rotor shaft bearing, there is danger of corrosion and friction .Therefore, optimal bearing selection and clearance and mating and selection of suitable oil is very important.

Bearing life

Accelerate blade rotation in order to achieve the rated revolution of induction generator by a speed increaser, design to take necessary strong of crankcase into account when wheel bearing at maximum loads .

  So is study on  bearing life when the displacement of axle box  at average loads. Choose to meet practical axle box design and the  fully simplified calculation of spindle bearing life.

  In addition, consider the box and the outer ring raceway surface deformation, the calculation of every needle roller bearings load and calculate the rotation ring and fixed ring their life.

Rotor shaft bearing

The same with spindle bearing ,wind power bearing must also carrying such a load torque and speed changes. In light load to the load area suddenly when the wind blows heavy load range wide in operation, is a major feature of fan bearing.

Rotor shaft bearing, often bear the load changes, and repeated irregular starting, acceleration, deceleration, stop.

In addition to rotor shaft bearing, the use of the site, especially for studying on the best technology condition of various conditions of  minimum load, the average load and maximum load, bearing type, bearing clearance,bearing roller number, convexity processing, holder of bearing ,which is very important.

In the rotor shaft bearings , slewing gear box (growth machine), generator, yaw gear box (reducer), and yaw rotation seat, blade pitch moment rotation seat, hydraulic pumps and so on, many sites all use wind power bearing.

The instability of the use environment，wind power bearing

Rotor shaft bearings , supporting the blade and rotor,  transmitted the rotating torque to the growth machine. Because the wind often change, the load and torque acting on the spindle bearing have great changes.

  Below the starting wind speed (for minimum wind speed power required) , the main shaft of the rotor is in idle state, at low speed and light load operation, but when above the starting wind speed, the rated revolution power state, rise, also reached the average load. Especially when the wind power bearing suddenly blows , through the blade, rotor, spindle bearing can bear great load.

The wind power

The world wind power bearing generating capacity by the end of 2002, about 31000MW, a 27% increase over the previous year. The wind power generation is no carbon dioxide emissions and clean energy minimum influence on the environment,with  the rapid popularization in the world  in recent years.

  In the field of wind power,wheel bearing improve equipment reliability and reduce the cost of power generation to improve its economy is the main subject. An important component of bearing support of wind power generator, to fully consider the use of the environment, need to the best design of high reliability and high economy coexist.
